Maybe it's not working for me!!!!!???

I know exactly how you feel! Had my surgery on Feb 7 and lost 14 lbs the first week. I went for checkup yesterday and have lost only 10 additional pounds - tot 24 lbs. Felt so discouraged - especially after reading some of the great losses on the boards. I spent a week in the hospital post-op with pneumonia. Wonder if that had any bearing. However, I am determined to keep doing the right things and I know the weight will come off as I'm sure you will too. Guess it's not good to make comparisons. Just keep doing what you're doing and you will be successful.

Cassandra, I know what you are going through. My surgery was 2/24 and I have had no problems with liquids, proteins, or vitamins. Was losing at a pretty good rate then the concrete wall came up this past week. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. I have done everything that my doctor has said to do. I just hope that this is a plateau due my period being expected soon. I know for me that I stopped walking at the mall on a daily basis because I went back to work this past week. I think I need to get moving and spend a little time with exercise. (I am just so tired after a full days work). Diana

I lost 22LB first two weeks and nothing the following three(will 5lb but that seemed like nothing). Everyone on this pages says the same thing no scales at home hind it or just put it in the garbage. I only weigh at the doctors office now I can tell I have lost by my cloths and that is all that counts. John

Hey Cassandra, I am there with ya. I had my surgery on 2/25 and lost 16lbs the first week. When I weighed at a friends house 1 to 2 weeks later I had not lost anything. I did measure myself then though and found that I had lost inches. I vowed not to weigh again until my 1 month checkup next week and the suspence is killing me, but at the same time I am really scared that the scale will not move and I will be depressed. I can feel it coming off, and I can see it coming off, so why are the stupid numbers so important? Best to stay away from the evil scale big ((((((Hugs))))))) to you, Jenny
