7 weeks out

Jan 17, 2011

Wow these past 7 weeks have went by quick.  Yesterday started regular foods, which is ironic because yesterday I couldn't keep anything down.  Liquids didn't even want to stay down, I don't know if I was drinking too fast or what.  I tried a tortilla pizza, I tried talipia which I had eaten before, nothing worked.  The juice I had been drinking the day before wouldn't even stay down.  I finally just laid down to take a nap and when I work up I was able to eat some soup and water stayed down fine.  So I am not sure what was going on.  This morning I had some hummus and cracker thins, they stayed down fine as well.  
As of today I have lost  46 pounds....which I am SO not happy about .  I have read the stories and people at 7 weeks out have typically lost more than 46 pounds.  So what is going on with me?  It is frustrating to be nibbling on food like it is nothing and to not lose the weight.  I have heard that our body is in starvation mode, ok so why am I not losing weight?  I do understand that I cannot drink the protein shakes, but I am getting it in by the foods that I eat.  So why is the scale not moving faster?  I am not complaining of course, because I have never lost 46 pounds in 7 weeks but still.  It seems to be dropping off rather slowly.
I also wonder if stress can be a factor in weight loss?  For the past 2 weeks I have been extremely stressed out.  I do find that blogging does help relieve some of the tension....so I pour it out here.  Some things are not WLS related though.  But at least I get it off my chest and am able to move on with the rest of my day.
