  1. Hey all. I'm 18 days post surgery and I'm wondering if my body is just deciding it wants to hold on to every pound and not let go.
     
    I lost 17 pounds pre-surgery and I have been fighting with the last 4, these last 17 days for a total of 21 lbs.
     
    I've done everything right. Only fluids until day 10, then purees and I still have barely had solids. I work out every day and limit my eating to 800 calories MAX.
     
    Is it just me? What am I doing wrong. I'm so frustrated. I know I'm not supposed to weigh myself every day, but I'm obsessed. Plus, I have not had a single feeling of tightness or vomiting. i feel like I have nothing on my stomach. Is it just too new? Have I just been overly cautious?? I dont know what to think.
     
    My first fill is June 14th and I just cant wait to talk to the doctor.. I feel like they took my money and just stabbed me a little. It's heart wrenching.
     
    My boyfriend and Mom keep telling me to be patient... when I least expect it, I'll be down lots and that my body is recouping from the surgery.
     
    What do ya'all think?
     
    Your opinions and answers are welcome.. I'm feeling pretty desperate. :rolleyes2:
