Am I on track with everyone else????

My surgery was on September 11th. I am down 25 pounds and have been stalled for 3 days. This is my 2nd stall already. My first was at 12 days out and lasted a week. I am hoping this one doesn't last a week too. Although I am not losing weight during the stalls, I am losing inches. My pants are even getting longer...I realized it's because my butt is getting smaller I guess I am going to have to get used to being a stop and go loser. My surgeon requires us to be on full liquids for 3 weeks, then pureed for 2 weeks, then soft foods for 1 week. I will be starting my 2nd week of pureed this weekend. I thought it was going to be gross, but it's really not that bad. The only food I have found that bothers my pouch is egg beaters. They make me nauseaus and burn my esophogus. I also found that taking my thyroid replacement meds with water hurts. I happened to have a glass of crystal lite with me when I took them this morning and I didn't have a problem. My pouch seems to not like plain water any more and all I drink is CL now. It also doesn't like liquids cool or room temperature. It much prefers when I freeze my liquids to a slight slushy. Heather

i had surgery on September 6th and i am down 30 pounds. I think a little of it was due to me having strep throat for a few days and being pretty sick.

I know exactly how u are feeling right now. Questioning if you are losing at the right amount of weight when you should be. The number on my scale has been at 348 for over 11 days now and I am feeling like I am not doing something right. The first week I lost 24 pounds and I am waiting patiently for another lose of any weight. I decided to put my scale in storage, only bring it out once a month. I am a slave to my scale and have shed too many tears because of it. Right now I am going to just keep track of inches and how much better I am feeling and keep in mind that I am down 40 pounds since my surgical consult. The hardest part for me though is I am an emotional eater so when I get on that scale and see that I still haven't lost weight after this long the first thing I want to do is solve my sadness with food. When I come to terms that is no longer possible it gets pretty depressing but thats something else that I am fixing with this journey. Anyways keep up the good work Rachel you are doing great. Can't wait till I drop a good amount of weight and you can go with me to pick out my first pair of stilettos.
