Am I doing something wrong?

I am 2 weeks post op today and have only lost 11 lb.s.Ilost most of that the first week.I feel like I should have lost more. I am getting all my protien and fluid in. I lost 19.5 lb.s on the pre surgical diet.I know it's probably fine, but I keep thinking what if I am the one the surgery doesn't work for. Thanks for listening! Leeanne

Leeanne, I lost 28 lbs my first 10 days and since Monday, only 2. I think at this point our body is in shock. Just keep up with your exercise and protein (as required) and it will start moving in no time. We have each other to support through this plateau and we can do it! I know it is hard. Hugs, Beth M

You didn't say what your starting weight was and all. Look at it as a percentage. What percentage have you lost yet? If you have 100 pounds to loose, that is 10% so far, and you will loose less weight, but the % will be the same as those who loose 35 the first 2 weeks that have 350 to loose. Also, you look at month loss more than week loss. This works better anyway. If I look at my weight loss by the day, I wont see it, because I loose less than a pound. I average 4 pounds a week. I didn't see this till I was 5 weeks out and looked back at the book I was keeping.

Leanne, Just keep trying. Make sure you drink plenty of water.It already sounds like you are doing good by getting your protein. When I was only 1 week post op I only lost 11 pounds. I was disappointed at first. But I knew I was doing exactly what I was supposed to do according to the diet given to me by my Doc. I am now 3 weeks post-op I have lost 19 pounds so far. Pre-op diet I lost 30 pounds. I am now able to go to the gym and use the treadmill with little pain. Keep up the hard work.

I think you're fine - think about it...5.5 pounds a week??? When were we ever able to do that before? You're doing great - we're 2 days apart
