Hey, you lost 3 pounds!! You didn't gain...come on be nice to yourself.
No luck involved here, your weight will come off as long as you are doing what your suppose to be doing. Your body is saying...wow...what's going on??? It's storing up everything you are eating and holding on tight. Just make sure your eating correctly and drinking your water. Keep walking!
Sending you hugs! Debbie

Debbiejean...you know you just reminded me of a way to help my boby know that together we are beginning this journey and I will be in close (very close) contact with her (my body). Yeah...I will talk to me and remind me of things my mind knows for sure. That there will be a period of time when my body will be very much afraid, that it will think it is being starved by the mind and so will not let go of the weight that will in the long run make my body healthy and so much happier!
This conversation starts now. I will perhaps be able to help my body get ready for this operation just like I am preparing my mind to accept and look forward to this wonderful thing that is to happen to us in a very few weeks!
I am so grateful that you have given me this idea, I only wish I had thot of it to maybe help the woman who posted just before you-the one who had only lost 4 lbs.
I know you all will help me in this endeaver, if it works, perhaps we could spread the word to other newbies, ya think? I thank you for your kind attention and wish you happy dreams tonite.....hugs....Sam

Thanks Sam...and "talking to the body" is a good thing to embrace.
Keeping our minds open to change and acceptance...some people never get to their goal weather it be a stupid number on a scale (and I say this because indeed it's just a number and doesn't measure your full success) or a size number....which I like better, what size do you want to be? What size will make you happy?
Paying attention to our mindful eating is a must ...forever.
Losing weight is easier than keeping it off.
Staying happy and healthy is the key along with portion size and exercise. Simple but for many of us who have been obese our whole lives...it's not so simple and we fight it forever. Hugs Debbie

OK, here I am and NOT being MEAN...just being REAL.
I have walked this journey since 2004, lost 200 lbs and now am at a better weight cause I gained to a realistic body balance.
It took me a life time to get morbidly obese at 330 lbs. Sure I wanted to wake up after WLS and be TINY...ha ha ha. Did not happen, thank God. This is like life. A JOURNEY!!
I had great pre and post op doctors, nurses, and nutrition mentors. Especially wonderful people here at OFF, those living the life each day. I found out at 4 mn check I was NOT eating enough protein. That is when I discovered and USED FitDay.com to track my intake. Still had to work at losing. No magic cure, well worth it. Be good to you!!!! You will be a success, hey you are already, you took back your life. Hugs, Monica

Our bodies want to hold on to every morsel we eat. It is a struggle and harder still when the scale doesn't move.
The men in the support group seem to melt before our eyes. Not fair!!
Take notes at your appointment so you don't forget what is said. Then let us know how you make out. You are following the rules and are losing.
Kisses
