The scale finally moved!

Some of us were comiserating last week about the scale being stuck at 2-4 weeks out. Well mine finally jumped down 3 pounds! I am 3 weeks out today and I am down 24 pounds. How are the rest of you doing? Nicole

I am four weeks out and I have lost 24 pounds as of this morning. I am feeling great and seeing great results. Best decision I have EVER made! Keep up the great job. Charlene

I'm right with you Nicole, it has been 3 weeks and I am down 25 lbs. Great, isn't it! Jaime

Yay, Nicole! My scale finally got moving again, too...although compared to the -25 in my first two and a half weeks, it's really creeping now. -28 as of Monday and I'm starting my sixth week out.

Well I am 3 weeks out today also, I have lost 15 pounds but I also had 10+ water gain from surgery. I am hoping that weight loss gets a little faster. But I am off all my diabetic meds and most of my blood pressure medications already so that is a plus. Sonya

Hi fellow Raleigh"ite"! I saw you are in Raleigh-I grew up there...there and the beach! Where was your surgery done? I also wanted to let you know that my scale hasn't moved as fast either...I only lost 20 after 4 weeks-I'm down another eight pounds...funny, in ALL my years of dieting I never said I ONLY lost 28 pounds...perspective is needed, don't you think...:) Of course being the perfectionistic neurotic that I am, I wanted all 120pounds gone yesterday...oh well... Take good care, Stephanie Southern by birth, North Carolinian by the grace of God!:)

Hi Stephanie, nice to meet a one-time neighbor. I've been in the Triangle for almost ten years now, but I grew up in Virginia. I had my surgery done in Pinehurst...not too bad a drive, and very happy with my surgeon. I want that 100+++ dropped in a month, too!!

I'm 4 weeks out and I was geting depressed about the scale not moving daily like the first two weeks. Doctor told me today that I was down 25 lbs. and that was great for 4 weeks out. He said this was normal and to expect 2-3 lbs per week. so I feel better now.

Yep, mine moved a little today, too, finally. I've lost 16 pounds and Im entering the middle of my third week. I'm a 'lightweight' *snort* so I'll lose at a slower pace than the 'average' WLS patient.

Im in week three (3 weeks as of Wed., August 16), and will not be getting back on the scale until my next surgeon's appointment. Glad to hear the weight is coming off again!
