Venting!!!!Again

I'm 24 days post op sleeve.I read the VSG board everyday .I vented about this a couple weeks ago.Im trying to be patient,but, I'm still at only 2 pounds lost since day of surgery. I'm following my plan and having no problems getting food/liquids in.I read posts everyday from people sleeved about the same time and saying they've lost  15-20 pounds. I know everyone loses at a different rate ,but, 2 pounds ??? I'm getting very discouraged. Happy Thanksgiving to all !

How many calories are you eating, ounces are you drinking and when was the last time you went to the bathroom? Start there :)

What was your surgery weight?

I'm almost a month out, came home at the same weight I was the day of surgery. From about day three at home for about 10 days I lost 12 pounds. since then I've been going up and down the same two pounds over and over. I'm not worried about it, I'm only eating 600-800 calories a day and figure that eventually my body will recover and get in gear. I understand you though, sometimes I ask my partner (who is two weeks post-op RNY) "will I lose more weight or is this it?" I think we just have to trust the process and focus on our new habits and lives. Hang in there.

Allison, I lost 55 pounds pre-op.High weight 280, day of surgery weight 225, current weight 223.Getting in 500-600 calories, 6-8 cups  water per day (Not including ounces from protein shakes) and going to bathroom ok. Any suggestions appreciated/

Just keep up what you are doing and dont get discouraged. Easier said then done, I know. If you are keeping your carbs lower and getting a min of 60 protein you will lose weight. Your calories are good, imo. When you see others drop weight it is because they are probally heavier then you are. It took me months to just get to your starting weight! I have lost oodles of weight because I started at over 300. When I got to your starting weight ...I felt pretty good about how I looked. =) Are you logging your food? I am a mfp addict. I check it more often than facebook now! Add me if you want. Hollirrose.

This is a long shot, but if you have a digital scale, change the batteries.
My old scale kept telling me I was not losing weight, but when I put fresh batteries in it I dropped 10 lbs.

I understand the scale frustration, hide it!  Start taking your measurements every couple of weeks and you will see something.  I measure every other Monday morning and the weeks I see no weight loss I see inches (usually 4-7) lost.  You are still early out of surgery so keep up your fluids, protein and walking or other exercise and it will happen.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
