    No your not doing anything wrong except weighing each day lol. Do not weigh yourself but once a week. Keep taking liquids at least 64 ounces, 70 to 90 grams of Protein and stay calm. You may not lose

You may not lose each week according to the scale but you will lose inches also. Stay under 600 calories if you can and keep drinking fluids. You will have stalls the most famous one seems to be at 3 weeks so do not panic you will lose weight. I have done so much research and this happens to everyone. You cannot weigh everyday or you will go insane lol..

RELAX....

I stalled on the scale right after surgery for over 3 weeks. It was frustrating but also I noticed my clothes fitting loser even with scale not moving. You may want to talk to your surgeon about increasing your calories. Such a low amount may cause your body to not burn as much. I moved up to 800 to 1000 and started losing again.

Ahhh! What a sigh of relief!! :) I told myself before surgery that I was NOT gonna weigh everyday. What do ya know?!?! Ian doing exactly what I said I wasn't gonna do! Lol! I'm having a hard time getting in all of my Water & protein. I have only been able to get in 40 oz of water & about 49 grams of protein. That is something I'm still working on. Hopefully I will get there. Thank you so much for your input! :)

Okay.. I will definitely talk to him! I actually go for my first post op visit on Monday. Thank you :)

I am stalled too, right after surgery. I lost in the first week, gained in the second week, and nothing after. I was told that my calories were too low at 700... so I'm pushing for 900 now but it's hard. I'm finally onto normal foods so that might help...

Gah!! I don't know how I would ever get 900 in! I get to start on soft & puréed foods next week :)

It's really frustratibng hearing about people who have lot 3-4 times what I have in the same amount of time. I'm just sitting here, losing nothing, not losing inches, just staying the same. The only difference is that I'm eating about 1/8 what I used to and I occasionally get sick. So far, not a happy camper. :( It's comforting to hear that others are slow too, but at the same time, I wish none of us were dealing with it, because it is so hard to stay positive with no results.
