6 Month post op report

I just weighed in and my total weight loss at my 6 month appointment was 87 lbs. I am going to get blood work tomorrow and meet with my doctor next week to discuss the results. I'll post after that. I started walking 2 -1/2 weeks ago and since I started walking I haven't lost ANY weight. I thought it would help my loss but it hasn't. Any of you experience this?

Yes....and it was discouranging until I learned that muscle weighs more than fat. And....you may not lose any pounds but you will still lose inches. So be patient....the scales will start moving again.

Congrats on the 87!! Great job Mine slowed down when I started exercising because muscle weighs more...on the upside, I think it keeps the loss steady.

Congrats on your weight loss and your new avatar is awesome!!! The more I exercise, the slower my weight loss is too, but that just means we are building muscle which is a a good thing! Deanna

That is an increadable loss for not exercising girl! You lucky dog! Dang! Keep up the exercise, yes muscle weighs more than fat but once you get moving you will see such a huge drop in inches and dress sizes, eventually the scale will show you the numbers that you want to see! You can do it girl, get on out there and walk with some friends! BIG HUGS~ Brightest Blessings~ Jamie M. aka Lady Autumn Weight- 257/168/146 BMI- 44.1/28.8/25 Height- 5'4" Total Weight Loss: -89 lbs.
