Three weeks out, gained two pounds. What's up with that??

Mar 03, 2010

I only log weights at the Drs' office or nut's office. Maybe scales are screwy, but I'm three weeks post-RNY and I have lost a grand total of 10 pounds. I am eating and drinking by the book. Serious wackiness here. When does the 10 lbs/week weight loss begin? Feeling a little discouraged today.

I'm quite sure I'm eating well under 1,000 calories per day. I lost 15 pounds on the two week pre-op liquids-and-veggies diet.

I be perplexed, I tells ya. Maybe I'm just an impatient patient, ha.

On the happy front, I've had zero complications, haven't vomited once, have good energy and I've been able to get all my protein and fluids in, no problem.  I've been to the gym twice since my surgeon cleared that for me. Need to get up to five times per week according to my NUT. Change in work schedule will take some getting used to... perhaps I can get my butt to the gym tomorrow morning BEFORE work, now that work doesn't start 'til 11:15am. (Quite a change from 5:30am! I'm not saying I miss that, really I'm not!)
