      8:20pm? And you've only consumes 200 calories? Be careful, you could be sending your body into starvation mode. Your body will also start taking away from your muscle. Your organs, esp your heart, is

      It's just a stall. I had mine after 7 days and it lasted 10 days. Measure yourself - you will still be losing inches your body's just catching up now!! 30-40lbs in the first month is quite unrealistic

      You could be experiencing your "post surgery stall". Most of us did (the 2nd or 3rd week out from surgery). It's definitely NOT uncommon. Don't stress, because it didn't take 3 weeks to put it on, it

    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']

    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.
