rani7 reacted to 2bslimkim in 3rd week post op and only lost one lb...OK.... I just completed my 3rd week post op and I only lost one lb this week. What's up with this. I'm still on liquids and no more than 400-500 cals. at best each day. Tons of Water... way more than 60 oz per day and I do get my 60 grams of Protein via Protein drinks.
Here is my weight loss:
Pre-Op 7 lbs
Post Op Week 1, 6.5 lbs
Post Op Week 2, 3 lbs
Post Op Week 3, 1 lbs
Has any one else had low numbers like this.... I'm still glad I had the surgery but I've read of avg. weight loss for first month post op being in the 20's and i'm going to do good to make the teens. I concerned that my body is getting use to the low cal intake and is OK with it. I have a very low metabolic rate and hypothyroid. I mean can you imagine other than surgery week... (water & broth) i've only lost 4 lbs in two weeks on liquids. that just seems crazy to me.
Advise please....
