One Month Post-op

All I can say is...I've lost nothing in two weeks. I can tolerate pretty much anything I eat and as far as I know, I don't dump. I am not sorry I did this, but I really wish I'd loose weight again. I am depressed though that my scale only goes up, not down. I stick to my diet. I suck down water like a drowning man...but still.

Renee, I have been sitting at the same weight for the last 9 days! I have been racking my braing trying to figure out what I am doing wrong, but I think my body is still catching up. I measure myself each week and even last week I lost 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch pretty much all over. So, keep your chin up! You are not alone...there are others going through the same thing. I too have no regrets, but wish the scale would move....at this rate it will take me 5 years to lose the 97 more lbs I want to lose! ~~Eileen~~

wowww.. We are all at the same point in our WLS process. Ive asked and asked why and what ive been told is that it's normal. That we are still loosing inches and to just be patient and one day soon we'll get on the scale and will have lost 5 to 10 lbs without warning. I am hoping that this is true because ive lost absolutley nothing for the last 7 days and im feeling so discouraged. So you are not alone it appears to be normal and i guess we just need to be patient and continue to follow all the rules and laugh about this later on down the road and about it has us all in an uproar questioning this process. ~De'

Renee, I understand completely!!! I lost 26 pounds the first two weeks and the last two weeks, nothing. Ugh!!! My family swears that I am shrinking. I can tell with my clothes too. I just can't wait until the scale moves again. Let's keep the faith. Debbie

Hi, I am also one month post-op and only lost 26 pounds and today the scale said I gained a pound. At first I thought I was getting too much protein in and eating too much so I have cut my food in take in half and got about 70grams of protein in yesterday. I hope what everyone is saying it true and my body will loose inches and catch up and start loosing again. I went to my Dr.'s last week and he also said I am doing GREAT. I guess we all have to keep our chins up, it's nice to be able to Post here and see there are other people going thru the same thing and I am not alone.

Hello, everyone. I agree with everything ya'll are all saying. I, too, am just over 1 month post op and the same thing has happened to me. I lost 22 lbs in the first 2 weeks and 5 more in the 3rd week, but now nothing. I feel as everyone else does I guess when it stops for a while that I am the exception and this tool is not going to work for me. I know I shouldn't feel this way, but it so hard to keep it out of my head when I cannot see results. I do feel it in some of the clothes that I wear, but not others. So this also makes me have doubts. I am trying so hard to keep on the positive side, but darn it is hard to tell my head to stop thinking all the bad thoughts. I hope this post is finding everyone having a wonderful weekend. Donna F - Texas
