Hi, i fear I am going to be a slow loser. Here I am 11 days post op, and i've barely lost anything. its hard to watch all the posts of people saying, "oh hey, I lost 15 lbs at my 1 week post op appt." Not me -- 2 lbs. Sigh. I was wondering if you all had slow weight loss from the very beginning?

I guess your going to he our test subject John!!

I dunno, I don't think that I've hit 1100 yet. Have tried, but, truly I don't want to eat. I have to make myself do it and most of time I really do just forget to eat.

I'll confess, did eat a very small sliver of pizza last night, it was my daughters surprise bday party. But was right back in the gym this AM running it off.

Yeah I just finished dinner and I've had 576 calories today 9 carbs 70 protein

And I don't not want anything else tonight!!

(Unless it was a piece of cake of course)

I just looked at mfp. 743 cals, 18 carbs and 49 protein....not good. But tomorrow is my "weigh" day, so we shall see.

Dude you need to gnaw on a piece of meat and get that protein up

yeah..... I know..it usually isn't that bad, just wasn't feeling it today. Should have popped a Premier.

That was my breakfast ( every morning )

Mine too most days unless I forget....

I eat anywhere from 559 to 750 calories a day I don't know I just "feel" like it would be even worse for me if I ate more.. One day I hit 900 but that was because I ate a little cake.

Laura, I feel the same way. I just have a " feeling" that eating more just isn't the answer for me. And it's not just the dramatic Oh my God I'm afraid I might gain a pound..... it's more like intuition .... lol But trust me, I wish it WAS the answer! I mean, what could be better than having a doctor tell you that you need to eat more! A dream come true!

Hehehe.. Don't I know it! Especially if they said eat something fatty and yummy!

I could not stomach another protein product today...

My doctors order was to eat around 1000 a day

My name is Kristine and I am a slow loser

*hits head on keyboard in frustration*

Welcome Kristine,

Wish you weren't here... Hell I wish I wasn't here:p

I have not lost any thing after my first week

I had surgery 12/6 and haven't lost anything since the first week. I am down 10lbs only.

Hi Nan,

What is your daily menu like? Are you getting enough calories? Protein? Water? Have you spoken to your doc about it at one of your follow-up appointments?
