Monday I will be 3 months post op & have lost 61lbs., but for the past 2 weeks my scales have NOT moved & I am freakin out. PLEASE tell me this is normal & that I am gonna loose more. Maybe I am not eating enough or something. Do I need to go back on liquids for a couple days? Tammy G.

TOTALLY normal hun. I had a huge stall just 3 weeks ago that lasted almost 3 full weeks. Just keep doing the right things and it will move again. Sometimes our bodies need a rest. Also - have you lost inches instead? I lose pounds then inches - back and forth. Keep your chin up! Kia 284/203/155

Thanks Kia. I know I have lost inches but not sure how many, I don't go back to the Dr. until November but I am going to Curves & it is time Monday to be weighed & measured. I won't give up, my head is high. The day of my surgery I had on a pair of jeans that were 22-24 & today I bought a pair of 18 because they were on sale & I showed them to my husband when I got home & told him I couldn't wear them yet but I will in a month or so & he said try them on, I think you can wear them now, so I did & guess what they fit, a little tighter than what I want in the rear but they fit. Had to share that. Thanks again Tammy G.

Hi, I'm 2 yrs post op this August. What you are going through is normal. I know this will be hard, but try to resist weighing everyday. Try to do it every few days or once a week. I weighed 296 lbs when I had the surgery and I wore a 26/28w now I weigh 128 and wear a 6/8. If anyone would have told me that I would be this small I would have laughed at them. I remember when I lost the first 48 pounds then it stopped for a month. I thought oh my gosh I did all this for 48 pounds to go away. But as soon as my body adjusted again, I started losing again. Just do what your doctor tells you and you will be fine. I will be praying for you.

PERFECTLY normal. Everytime I would start to freak, and get upset, low and behold..there would go that scale! LOL! You are fine...maybe pay attention to your protein and water....make sure you are not "carbing it" too much. Good Luck Ms. Tammy!! By the way...61 pounds!! WAY TO GO!!! Tami
