Kind of funny!!
My Doctors office called to check on me and my weight loss progress today. (I went to Mexico)
He asked me how I as feeling ...I said great .
Then he asked how much weight I have lost and I told him " I've lost 8 pounds since surgery and for the last week I have been exactly the same no loss no gain. So then he says " are you following the diet"? Really???? I said I am on full Liquids... How could I NOT be following it.
I have been trying not to freak out about the scale staying the same as I know there are stalls.
But seriously when he was questioning me about the diet I had to laugh...
I was just saying to my husband how can the weight NOt be just falling off me when it seems like I really am not taking in many calories.
I just about lost it when he questioned whether or not I was following the "diet" though..
All I could do is laugh....
You can comment if you want , any encouraging words would be VERY welcome at this point.
I also drink all my water and get 60 grm . of protien a day + all my vitamins.
Happy Holiday!

My body does this - stays EXACTLY the same to the tenth of a pound for days in a row. Did it before surgery and did it twice (for two days each) during the pre-op liquid diet and so far once (for three days) during post-op liquid diet. It's just what some bodies do... I know it and I just ride it out.
Like you, I'm amazed since I'm barely taking in any calories so how can I not lose every day! But our bodies are complicated machines that I don't nearly understand so I just go with it. We know we're doing what we need to do and it will happen in time.
Glad you are doing so well!
