    Question Worried about keeping up with weight loss

    I admit, I am a scale watcher. I got all of my water weight from the hospital off, and am down 28 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. I don't get it, because I'm not hungry. I drink most of my "meals", and might have some sort of soup for one meal.

    I guess I don't understand how I'm supposed to continue to lose weight if I eat a consistent amount, especially when that amount increases when I can go to soft and then normal foods. I don't want to just lose 50 pounds, I need more than that. How does it work?

    In two days my scale hasn't moved, regardless of what I've eaten.

    We are at the same place. I am 7 days since my surgery and my scale didn't move since yesterday either. Do no be discouraged! You have done awesome so far! I have only lost 18. Just keep doing what you are doing and it will all work out.

    Don't worry. One day it will just drop 2-4 lbs like nothing. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. You have to get back on the scale just to make sure what you saw was real. I seem to drop fast when I change food levels. Liquids to purée, purée to soft foods etc. dont forget to get up and walk around. Good luck and congrats on a new beginning. Everyday I love this decision more and more. I hope you do too.

    I used to be a scale watcher. I was driving myself totally nuts! I weigh once a week now at the nurses office at my school...I don't see the fluctuations like I did when I weighed daily. Do yourself a favor and ditch the scale. Be patient-it will happen. I promise you!
