FRUSTRATED!!!!

I've been bouncing the same two pounds back and forth for the last three weeks. It is so frustrating.  I know that stalls happen but I didn't expect it to last this long.  This is the same problem I had prior to surgery. I would lose and gain the same few pounds over and over.  I did not go through all the hell of the first 6 weeks just to end up weighing 275lbs!  This SUCKS!!!!

Patience, Grasshopper.

It will come off.  Just keep on doing what you're supposed to be doing and STAY OFF THE SCALE.

The number on a wheel or in a window is not important. 

Hang in there.

Yes, what Lynn said...

It isn't a "stall" until it has been over a month+ and even then, it is NORMAL. Do a search on here for "Stall" or "plateau" and see how normal it is. For nearly 3 months I was bouncing the same 3 lbs back and forth.... It's normal.

I am still completely satisfied with my surgery (even if I never lose another ounce or gain a few pounds) because I am so much HEALTHIER! The surgery was a sucess for me just after a 30 lb loss and if I had never lost another pound no biggie...

Unless you are actively "outeating" your surgery, it WILL come off.  Also if you do a lot of weight lifting/training like me, you will GAIN some weight. (It's all muscle weight) even though my clothing sizes have been shrinking.

Just our bodies adapting...
Warmly,
Jackie

Thank you Lynn and Jackie.  I'm trying my best to be patient because I know these things will happen from time to time. Have a blessed day!

I am in the same boat as you I got so down this morning doing my one month weigh in and finding it was only 12 lbs I lost more before my surgery, I know I havebeen dieting for over a year and my body is used to low calories and is adjusting, I expected more than 12 for 4 weeks out but i slapped my self got on my treadmill and mashed it out got off with a smile knowing im doing it no matter what the scales say my clothes are looser and im happier thats what counts good luck

I know it's hard to be patient but try.  Follow the rules and it will come off. 

 I'm 7 weeks out and I have already had a 2 weeks stall and I just ended a 3 week stall.  I spoke to my NUT and she said I was not having eough calories (about 500 a day) and needed 800, I upped my calories 2 days ago and I've lost 3 lbs in those 2 days.  Try adding a few calories and see what happens!
