Was miserable. Didn’t drink enough water or protein shakes

Its been 3 weeks. 2 pounds. Dr. did thyroid test. Now sending me to endocrinologist. I’m embarrassed and depressed honestly. I’m very restrictive on what I eat. Not deviating at all from physician supplied diet. I got a new treadmill to see if increasing activity will help me.

I was eating solids in week3. I don’t throw up. Granted I only eat fish and broccoli and chicken. Too scared to try anything else.

Has Dr appt today. He is getting thyroid checked. I just hope you guys are right. Because going through all of this for little loss. Feels like my body tricked me.

@ Steve. I’m totally impressed by your story. Though it totally made me depressed for myself.

I feel like you just wrote my story. Dr is going to check my thyroid. I eat less than 400 cals and have not lost weight in 2 weeks. Never was a heavy eater. Now I’m eating nothing. Getting protein in becuase I refuse to do any other meat than tuna steaks so. I have no idea what to do next.

Anyone experienced this? I’m going in to my 4th week post op. 4 weeks Monday. I have not lost weight in 2 weeks. Getting really depressed. Dr. Will check for thyroid issues next. Anyone dealt with this?

Thanks everyone. I’m supposed to be on purées at this time but didn’t understand 3 weeks meant 3 weeks behind me not in my 3rd week. I began eating regular food. My dr. was appalled. But since I had not issues he told me to keep going slowly and mostly our bodies tell us when the time is right.

Congratulations!!! Wow!!!!

I am 14 days post op. I’m drinking a lot. Like 60oz.

Does anyone know if Walmart rotisserie chicken is harmful 3 weeks post op for VSG?

I'm on day 3 post-op. I have no idea how many calories I should be taking in via broth and liquids etc. Does anyone know what range that I should be in? Per myfitness pal.com It seems as if I've only had 216 calories over the 3 meals today. Is that normal?

OK so I guess my concerns are extremely over-rated. It's been 3 days and no weight loss. Guess I knew better, but deep down inside I was hoping to wake up from surgery just a little bit skinnier.
