Some NSV's need encouragement no loss in over a week.

Hi guys!  I had surgery 9/9  hit 229 and stopped losing a lil over  a week ago.  Now granted today is the first day i got all supplements, and protein in close on the fluids but not quite there yet. 

I kmow 21 lbs since surgery is great, and i know my body is adjustin gpost- op and......but it still has me worried.

Onto NSV's did my measurements,  i am down a total of 12.5 inches all over from July.  Started pre-op diet in August.   Pare of velveteen workout pants that were a second skin last time i had them on........TO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Into the Goodwill pile they go.  New ones i had bought that fit snug but fit,  ar enow loose but can wear them awhile longer.  Body is shrinking even if the scale isnt!!!!

Also off topic i have an interview monday for an analyst postion at work!!!  I so want this!! i am still out on FMLA but will be bak on the 10th.  The extra week was a good idea as my energy just has started to rebound past 2 days.

Welcome to the famous 3 week stall.  Most of us had it.  I lost 16lbs the first week, 10lbs the next and then nothing for at least 2 weeks.  I swore I wouldn't let it bother me but of couse it did.
The best way to deal with it is the hide the scale.  What you don't know won't hurt you.  Weigh weekly or even monthly if you can.
I couldn't but I had to make a deal with myself that I wouldn't let what the scale said bother me or I would get rid of it.  I am too curious.  I had to know what my body was doing.  But others swear by just using their clothing to gauge their loss.

Renee, keep up the great work. I will be three weeks out from my RNY on Monday, and I too haven't seen the scale move recently ( three days). I'm trying to stay off the scale as Ladytazz suggests-but it is so exciting when the numbers go down.

Keep doing your measurements. I take mine every Friday and every little bit helps keep me motivated.

Good luck on your job interview!

Congrats on the weight loss! It is impressive and you are doing great. The way your clothes arent fitting is a wonderful thing. We all have gone through brief periods of stalling, but step away from the scale. It has never been our friend. Wait a few weeks and weigh again. You will be very surprised. The first thing I noticed after my wls was feeling my neck and collar bones. Enjoy the NSX's. They are more important than the scale.

Hugs,
Kristi

Congrations on your interview.  I hope you get it!
I had surgery on the 2nd of September and so far have only lost 10lbs!  I have been at 201.5 - 202.5 on my scale for over a week and am a little frustrated.  I know this is just as you said my body adjusting.  My pants are loose, and I feel good.  There is still that little voice (the unrealistic one) that tells me that is all the weight I am going to lose and that I am going to be here for the rest of my life!  I know that is not true, I hate the little voice!  So I am going to just keep doing what I am doing (80gm protein, 64oz water, and exercising) and know that soon my scale will move!!!

Thanks guys,  I will hide the scale for at least a week and  keep focusing on th eother stuff.  Getting my protein, fluids and excercise in. 

You didn't stop losing a little over a week ago.  You will continue to lose for many months to come.  But you will not lose the exact same number of ounces every day or every week.  It will vary.  That's the way  normal weight loss works.  Don't worry because you're normal.  That's a good thing!

Thanks Kelly!   You guys are great!!!!
