27lbs including pre op or just after surgery? I think 27lbs is great! I'm only down 10 since surgery and I'm 4 weeks out. R

Don't stress I'm in the same boat so I can understand the worry. Surgery was 9/16 and I weighed 232 and today I weigh 225.4 . Lost 19lbs pre op and am so stressed and disappointed about this lack of weight loss. Tried asking surgeon at 1 week check up and he was unconcerned about it but I'm going crazy with worrying that I'm not doing enough. I hope the scale starts moving for us both!

I was sleeved 9/16. Really no pain, haven't taken pain meds since day I came home. But I have buyer's regret right now. And its stupid but I do. I know, I know, its been done lots of times, discussed in various threads, etc, etc. But....and I told myself I wouldn't do this and stress but.... I feel like I didn't lose very much weight this week HW was 251 Pre op diet I lost 19lbs so SW was 232 and when I came home I was239 (fluids) CW is 227.5 I read all these posts and everyone else is losing such fantastic amounts and I'm sitting here getting worked up, sad, and angry. I didn't expect to lose it all in a month but I did expect more especially since I all read is that your best loss is in the first 3 months. My fear is I will never make goal. I go tomorrow for the post op recheck and I'm embarrassed that I haven't done well. Surgeon said that if it poured it was mine and not to count calories just work on Water and Protein. I have been getting my 64oz water in every day except 1 and I have never had less than 40g of protein...most days its been 60. The first 2 days I was doing just Isopure so I only had about 160 cal for the day. I have not had one thing not allowed. I know I should be grateful that I'm recovering well and have absolutely no hunger but....I admit, the scale has lots of power over me. Sorry for the whiny rant. What a crappy first post but it is really hard right now and I'm doubting my decision to do this....not that I can undo it but I wish I felt better. I have failed so many times in the past that to fail at this initially is really hard. What am I doing wrong? Ronnie
