Scared to go to surgeon follow up appt Friday....
I am going to be 7 weeks out and have lost 25 pounds since surgery. And only 5 pounds since 3 weeks out. What is going on? What am I doing wrong? Why me? I lost the majority of the weight shown on my tracker preop. I feel like going into crash diet mode until Friday but prayed this would take me out of that cycle. Today my meal plan is as such.
B: protein shake missed with coffee and half & half
MS: 1 egg, a sprinkle of cheese
L: 4 oz cod pan fried
D: 4 oz chicken backed
S: sugar free popsicle ** this is typical day for me may add a string cheese in if hungry
Also working out for about 2 hours - 45 min treadmill & 60 min aqua aerobics

Are you working out 2 hours a day? If so, you are eating way too little (IMO, of course). I definitely wouldn't go into crash diet mode. You need to tell the surgeon and dietician what you're doing so they can help you figure out why you haven't lost more in the last four weeks.
I can tell you're frustrated, and I know it feels embarrassing to go to a follow-up not having lost the weight you (and your doctor) want, but if you know you have been following the surgeon's plan, you have nothing to be embarrassed about.
Good luck. I hope you get some answers at your appointment.
