Not losing weight

Hi! I'm new here! I had my surgery on 12/12/12. The first week I dropped 19 pounds...but for some reason I haven't lost anything since then. I'm getting worried!!

I would try to reduce your carbs also. I found that has helped me. I had my surgery a few days before you and lost 14 lbs the first week and then only 2-3 lbs a week until week 4 and now I am down 6 lbs. I have also started doing more that walking now. I am finding when I don't loose many lbs that I am losing inches. I also found lowering my carbs has helped me. Good luck!!

I lost 16 my first month' date=' and then about 10 every month after that until about 7 months out (check my signature - I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to tracking all the info, lol). You are doing absolutely FINE :) It *will* come off. It *has* too. :)[/quote']

Who was your surgeon if u don't mind me asking

Did "Aunt Flo" visit yet? I didn't start losing post op until after my period.

Two days after my surgery. I'm down 29 pounds but feel bloated because I'm about to start again. I think I might reach my 30 pound goal!!!! I stay around 500 calories per day and I'm about to start back to my gym. My kids keep me busy anyway lol. My BMI was 38ish before surgery

People, we should all know that up to 5 pounds can be due to fluid retention. Just stick with it and you could be losing inches.
