It's been 3 weeks and I have only lost 20 pounds and that came off in the first week and half. I'm getting super discouraged! I don't eat that much and getting Protein Shakes down. I keep telling myself that my body will catch up. Everybody says they can tell I have lost weight maybe I'm losing inches. And also I go through a food sadness cause I wanna eat, but I know I can't !

Don't feel discouraged! Although I'm only 1 week post op tomorrow I too have only lost a few lbs. your body will catch up. Trust my I wanted to cry when I see my family eating food. Yesterday was probably the first hardest day. Everyone usually goes to my mother in laws house on Saturdays and she cooks. I told my husband before we left I hope she doesn't make her enchiladas because I've been craving them like crazy. What did she have ready for us to eat when we got there? Enchiladas... That was the first breaking point and I know it's only going to get harder but we've gone as far by getting surgery we have to stick to it! It's for our own good. We will be able to eat like normal again just with time and patience. We are going to be hot mamas soon! Lol keep up the good work and congrats on the weight loss.

I'm 3 weeks out an down 15 pound since surgery. It may not sound like a lot but when have I ever lost that much in three weeks before? Never! :-) I measured before surgery and I wish everyone would have, it's great to know how many inches you're losing when the scale doesn't seem to move quick enough. Last time I measured I'd already lost 5.5 inches from my waist. I'm betting the inches have poured off you too!

Feeling a little light headed, but drinking my fluids and staying hydrated.
