Tomorrow marks 4 weeks and this week the scale hasn't moved. Only 18lbs down. Is this normal?

Day 6 of a 2 week clear liquid diet...this sucks so bad!!
I'm so frustrated and angry and FRUSTRATED!! I am so hungry and want to eat so bad! I can have sugar free jello, popsicles and Crystal Light but the artificial sweeteners are just so bad! I keep telling myself I'm almost half done but honestly it's not helping much. This better be freaking worth it...👿

Post op Day 20...
I haven't posted an update for a few days because I was feeling blue. Mostly TBH- having a pity party because the scale had not moved in a few days. I also was reading too many post on here and sometimes I would compare myself to others, or chastise myself for not counting the calories more. But honestly most of the food I I have been eating is at 1/2 a cup or less. I have found for me to get in my protein I am needing to continue to drink at least 1 Premier Protein drink a day. Sometimes I also add an isopure, because I am so scared of not meeting that goal. Plus I noticed some hair coming out in the shower...not much. But it has been soooo long since I lost hair (to be exact since 2010 when I had my son) My husband has been so helpful...and encouraging. Last night I made vegetarian chili with three different types of beans. It was much more satisfying then having a little bit of sweet potato (which I never liked until after surgery) I do not really care for my post op diet. It has me eating a lot of low fat cheese/ diary products and beans. I am not really a fan of diary to begin with. I am just getting tired of not having real protein I suppose. I am ready for some grilled chicken!! On a side note after I cooked dinner and read my son a book I got on the treadmill....I am noticing I cannot walk as long (my back starts killing me and my tummy hurts) but at least I walked. I know this isn't very motivational but I want to remember the highs and lows.

Today I was out and went to Boston market the onl u pureed they had was mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes which both I didn't want. I order the kid size turkey with gravy. I mashed it to pieces and chewed into I wanted to gag to ensure it was liquidfiedl. I got down a few bites without no problem.

I recently had the gastric sleeve surgery date was 07/13/2017. So far the experience has been a bit rough and I've even been through some regret. My gas pains were horrible and so far my energy level is nil. I walk around the house but do get tuckered out pretty quickly. Not really on the pain meds until bed time. Glad I joined there's lots of valuable info and now I don't feel alone in my journey
