First off, congratulations on the GREAT pre-op loss. Don't get too worried about the slow loss post op. It took me in excess of 2-1/2 weeks to lose the surgery weight. Work it and it'll take care of you. And remember, your team is there for you.

I went through the same thing .... lost about 45 pounds before surgery .. came out and had gained 20 .... so devastating .... by the end of my second week I was down three beyond surgery weight .... again .... devastated. One month anniversary yesterday ..... down about another 8 since then. I gotta say .... I'd expected the weight to drop off in pools as I walked down the hall. No such luck. But I am keeping my head up and in the best place .... focusing on Proteins and liquids .... calories about 500 average (not trying to count, but can't help but see with myfitnesspal.com) .... and believing. Just believing. But I hear ya.

Your body doesn't know the difference between pre surgery loss and post surgery loss. What it does know is that it weighs 55 lbs less, a knife cut out 80% of its stomach and then stapled it all together. This is a time for healing and letting your body adjust to so much change. If you keep following your plan, the weight will come off. This us why your doctor isn't concerned and you should not be either. This is a journey so it helps to find ways to enjoy it. I am almost 6 mths out and eat about 800-900 calories a day, but my focus is on Protein, liquids, feeling better, and shopping for smaller clothes in my closet!
