I'm right there with you caruTH! I haven't lost anything for three days either... I think this is where people tell us to put the scale up.

What Heather said. Weigh weekly at the very most. Measure yourself for inches lost and count your other non-scale wins instead.

OMG Caru,
Please huney... give yourself a chance, your body is in turmoil and recovering...
You will not loose everyday, you might not loose for weeks like me...

Dont let it get to you. AND YES the Scales at this time are your worst enemy, why do you all torture yourselves so....

Please remember it has taken a lifetime to become what you are, its going to take far less to become a slimmer you. Just give it time please.......

Enough said...

Sorry but I do despare at these weight concerns so early on.... I symapathise honest I do but I can not understand why we all think we will be a new person overnight...

All in good time..
I am truley sorry if that sounds heartless I am trying to be far from it....

Please put your scales away...Please...

BUZZ xxx

The weight will come off........I go for weeks without losing. They said to measure ourselves and what we don't lose in pounds is coming off in inches.
I believe them and so far it's been working for me. Give it time, the weight will come off.......slower than we thought it would, but it does come off.

I am a month post-op, if I don't walk, I don't lose.

Keep on truckin'!

Hugs, Patricia

Yep, I weigh myself with my boyfriend each evening. It seems like I go a few days without losing anything, then lose 2-3 pounds in a day. I'm not too worried about it......I'm sure we are all doing well....
love ya,

omg ladies put the scales away. your going to make ur self go batty if you weigh urself every day. i weigh myself once ever two weeks and im 2 months out. caruTH ur still healing your only 3 weeks out give your body a chance to heal and mend its self. im sure your still swollen and bloated a bit i know i was even if it didnt show on the outside i felt it on the inside.

Geni

I too now weigh myself weekly - the daily weighs were doing my head in!!!!

Patience has never been my strong suit but i'm deliberately and consciously trying to develop it. I'm also looking at ways to occupy my time if my head is telling me to eat (cos my stomach sure isn't).

Making sure you get moving every day is really important - i would say vital and drinking, drinking, drinking. I've actually found now that i'm 8 wks (this tuesday) that my taste for plain water is coming back. And i have to dilute the crystal light because it's TOO sweet .

Seriously, weekly weigh-ins are the most user-friendly way to go.

Cheers,
D'Arcy

Don't panic!!! I am almost 2 years out and have lost over 175 pounds, but the pounds did not come off constantly. I would go 3 to 4 weeks without any weight loss and then lose 5 to 8 pounds in two days. This happened again and again. In fact, in the last 5 months I thought I had leveled off and this weekend have been surprised by another 5 pounds coming off. Just keep doing what you have been told to do and you will be successful.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I also haven't had the motivation to even exercise. I've just been so tired all the time. But I'm gonna take all your advise and not weigh everyday.

im with cipriana,,im just over 4 weeks out..seems like the scales dont do much. up or down a pound or so then all of a sudden there is a good drop. thats the pattern so far! i keep thinking ill hide the scales but have not done that so far!

Three weeks seems to be when you "hit the wall"...I remember posting the same thing at three weeks!!! :) Now I'm almost 10 mos out and down 123 lbs!!! Hang in there, it's just you're body re-adjusting to everything. It's a shock to your system and it wants to "rebel". You'll be fine...in a few mos you'll be giving someone else the same advice we're giving you!!! :) Congrats on giving yourself a new lease on life!!! xoxoxo

Hey Friend! - I am out the same as you and the last two weeks have been nil. I think your probably right on track... where your body says it is supposed to be. Your body is kinda in charge of these things.

I hate to say it, but I am a scale addict. I want to jump it on everytime I am in the bathroom.

Ugh...me too...addicted to the scale. It's an awful habit. And to think a couple months ago, I hadn't been on a scale in 2 years!! I like to weigh myself, but don't get too nuts about the daily fluctuations. I have been seeing a consistent 3-5 lb loss every week, so I'm pretty satisfied with that. Haven't measured myself, but I am down a couple sizes. Really wish I did the "before" measurements.

I can relate. I actually gained at the 3 week visit.. I was blown away and needless to say upset. Dr. assured me that of course I was losing. It's more about fluid retention, swelling, and the body protecting itself after "attack"....so be patient , it will come off.
