Nothing is wrong... just keep doing what you are doing and everything will be ok... you are loosing inches which is a good thing, just wait and see....

Thanks...I know that it fif not come quik so it won't leave quick.

(((((((((Chandi)))))))))))))))) we share a surgery date! You're doing phenomenal sugar you keep up the good work i'm so proud of you! We hit a plateau and our bodies have to get used to what we did. Be Well and Be Healthy, ANDI

Hi Chandi! I think it sounds like you're doing really great with your diet! I have to applaud you on getting in all your protein and everything you are consuming in a day. I'm not even close to consuming all that! And your exercise routine sounds great too. I don't have any advice to give but I think you are doing great and eventually it will pay off! Good job! Deanna

Chandi - I feel your pain girl! I was totally there not to long ago (last week). You're going to get on that scale in the next few days have a huge drop. Remember, our weight loss is like a staircase. Pleatau and then DROP, Pleatu and hten DROP. During the pleatu stages it sure is frustrating. I'm right there with you babe!! You're a MODEL patient don't change a thing.

Hi Chandi - You're doing everything right, so pat yourself on the back! Im in a similar situation; my surgery date was 5/17, and I've lost 23 pounds. Not that I'm complaining, but the scale does not move much, and I guess I was expecting a more miraculous drop. We just have to keep doing what we're doing! Hang in there!

DITTO to what everyone else said and try to stay off the scale I know easier said than done, once we start losing we do become "scale slaves" Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!

Had my surgery on 5/11 and my scale is not moving right now neither. Hoping to see it move soon.

Chandi, I know exactly how you feel. My weight has remained around 274 for the past two weeks!!!! All I can say is, "hang in there". You are doing everything right, and the weight will begin to come off. I had my surgery on 5/19 and so far I have lost 10 lbs...well 25 if you count the pre-surgery diet weight loss. I am not sure why it is so slow, but I am trying to hit all those water and protein goals...so hard to do. All props to you for being able to do it. Work that tool girl!!!
