Nervous...almost 6 months out

im almost 6 months post op (ill be 6 months out in 1 1/2 weeks) and i havent lost any weight in 2 weeks.. i know ive lost alot so far but im freaking out thinking this is it.. your only losing 84 lbs and thats it..

i know im just being silly but any advice to jump start the weight loss again..i know its not going to come off so quick as the last 5 1/2 months has but its killing me not to see the scale change in two weeks.. HELP any advice..



going scale crazy in mass, lol

I remember the feeling. and this may not be what you want to hear, but my advice is.... stay away from the scale. for another week or so if you can. and don't obsess about it. that's the best way to keep yourself in check and not have all kinds of crazy anxiety over it. your body will need time to adjust- everyone's does.

p.s. congrats so far, sounds like you've been doing a wonderful job

 Right around the 6 month mark I had to put the scale away and only use it every couple of weeks. The weight loss does start to slow down and you will go through periods of time where the scale doesn't seem to be moving at all and it can get discouraging. I suggest not weighing yourself for a few weeks, then when you do get back on the scale and see that it has moved you'll feel much better!

 No worries, it'll pick up again...maybe not as quickly but if you keep it up you'll keep dropping some weight.  

Try different workout routines or keep doing what you are doing at a higher intensity or duration.  Make your body work harder, that's what I have to do.
