no scale movement?

Ok whats the deal. I can see it if I am eating Mc Donalds or candy bars. that was the old way of the scale no moving but why? I am eating less that 900 cals  a day. low fat NO Cheating... I am in tears this am. 258 on the scale 4 mornings in a row!!! I don't understand. every woman in the world knows why the scale wont move. she has had too many things to eat.. but geez I haven't. and I have been walking and drinking... all the stuff to the letter. has anyone else out there in all of OH seen this? I seem to read a lot and not sure I have come across this problem. mostly people lose a lot after surgery about a pound a day. I am 3/7 short 4 for the week. This is mental torture. I know I have told myself all my life, your body is hard to lose weight even when I try its super difficult but some where in the week I have cheated a bit. But this goes beyond difficult into the impossible. please help me pray thought this. 256 is as low as I have seen the scale in 15 yrs no matter what I did and no matter how many hours at the gym. Its a stumbling block for me. The next two lbs are mentally crucial. I am going to continue to follow the diet TO THE LETTER... walk  walk walk, sip sip sip...and cry out to God for the strength to get thru the next few days. I need your help and support.

Mendy,
Hang in there girl!!  My sister and I  had this surgery the same day and we never were the same in our weight loss. She would stall and I would lose, then the opposite. You will get discouraged but try not to. Just keep doing what you are supposed to do and it will come off. I will be praying for you because I know it is hard but we all understand and feel your pain!!!

First of all - STAY OFF THE SCALE, lol.  Don't weigh yourself every day (tho I know it's tempting!)  I only weighed every 7-10 days, in fact, did not even own a scale and had to use the one at the hospital where I worked.  You'll drive yourself crazy!

Your body is adjusting to this weight loss.  Before you know it, you'll have dropped another 10lbs.  Keep on following your plan, and it WILL move again. 

You're doing great.

Take a pen and piece of paper and a measuring tape. Measure your waist, hips, thighs, arms, neck.. even your feet! Repeat every 4 months! Girl, you are going to be amazed!
I lost a whole shoe size and the inches were amazing. I lost my piece of paper but I remembering adding them up and being so astonished by it..
Don't let the weight worry you. Watch those inches drop off. I don't think it's a stall this early out.
I am praying for you. Tried to call you back but got your voicemail.
I work today but will call you soon! :)

Mendy...I agree with Lisa...take them scales and put them away.  You do not need to weigh every day.  Your body may not drop for several days and then boom...you may drop 4 or so pounds.  Do not go by the scales.  Your body is in a very severe transitional period right now.  Look to inches rather than pounds right now.  Did you measure yourself???  If not, do it now and you will be amazed at the inches you lose.  I lost 136 pounds, but half again as many inches.  You just rest and do what you are doing and it will come off...I promise.  God is faithful and so is this tool.   A year from now, you will be telling someone else this same thing.  Mendy...you are already a success!!!! 

Ladies,
thank you thank you thank you... I needed to hear all that this morning. I took a walk right after my blogging meltdown and felt better. then I had a cup of hot tea and later took another walk. My attitude is better now. God is faithful and so is the tool... I like that. and  a year from down I will be down its not just a dream this time.... I am setting an example in my family. I have a cousin and their two daughters *****ally need to change or face this option. We are all cut from the same family genes and food is a big part of our lives as a family. I just want to set a good example of what can be achieved if you want it bad enough and having your body radically altered is just part of the changes that has to be made. I am still learning coping skills, obviously...but when I have master one or two of them i will be able to share those tools with others in my family. so again thank you thank you thank you. when you help me you are helping others too. God Bless you all.

Mendy, Mendy, Mendy!  I agree with the others....at this point, your body is still adjusting to the surgery.  Only weight once a week-same time each week, then put it away!  You are doing everything you are supposed to do.  Keep it up and you WILL see results.....it will happen so fast, you wont recognize yourself in a few months!   Stay cool girl and enjoy the process!

Hide those scales! The weight will start dropping off soon. you will be ok. Love Froggy

Don't give up--do what you are supposed to do and the weight will come off.  It has no choice.

Hang in there--this will happen to you from time to time--it does to me and all of us.  and BTW--follow the above advice--weigh no more than once a week.  Your weight will fluctuate from day to day for many reasons.  I have had mine move five pounds when I was doing everything right.  weighing every day will drive you insane.

Y'all are so right. I am not going to get on that scale today. its raining this am and I love the rain. I have been up since 3am and reading messages and personal pages and been very encouraged. somehow in my mind I sometimes hear this" you'll be a medical miracle the only person very to have this surgery and not lose a single pound"  that's sounds like the devil to me. when his lips are moving hes lying... I know that God has his Hands in this and if He is for me Who can be against me...So God bless you all for being so caring and supportive, I know I will need the support again its a long journey and knowing that y'all are here and reading and will to talk to me means so much to me. no one knows how I feel except you guys...thanks again and I love you all.
