Not losing?

I am completely confused. I had surgery last Monday and I feel pretty good. My recovery has been great. I weighed myself last Wednesday and I was down 7lbs since Sunday! I jumped on the scale today and it's the exact same! I haven't lost anything  

Is this normal? I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

you don't need to step on the scale until at least 2 ish weeks after....

what are you eating, how many calories and are you weighing your food?

Ya you're right. I should stay away from the scale. It's so tempting at times lol. 

I am eating pretty close to the recommended amount by my clinic. I cannot get it all in yet but making progress.

If you are concerned with weight loss this early on, The scale will drive you crazy, since it is not true measure of all the changes you are going thru..

I suggest you do not weigh more than one a week or less, as long as you are following the Dr. plan.

Yep that's exactly what I did. Weighed once a week.

what is on your meal plan? If it has oatmeal or cream of wheat, they  could stop you from losing.

Yes Oatmeal. That's all I can really eat right now. That and yogurt, cottage cheese and broth. I'm on the full fluids diet right now.  I can also have strained cream soups but I haven't had very much of those.

Full fluids usually means broth, protein shakes, water, etc, but not oatmeal, cottage cheese, and yogurt.  Are you sure you should be eating that stuff now?

Many peoples plans say oatmeal, cream of wheat, mashed potatoes, but honestly anyone post-op really shouldn't be eating those types of foods.  They are high in carbs and they do slow some peoples weight loss.

Yes I am sure. I have been really reading my list over and over lol.

Just to be specific, what types of yogurt, oatmeal are you having. I would stay away from all oatmeal until you are at goal. 90% of the yogurts on the market are chock full of sugar. Try for an oikos triple zero or a light and fit and keep those sugars super low. or get a plain greek and add some mio or other flavor to it.
