Nine days post-op

Things are going well, but I am EXTREMELY tired. I started getting a headache two days out, even with the good pain meds. I figured it was dehydration but getting all of my liquids in didn't help. Then I decided it was not enough protein, so I made sure I got all my protein. I finally figured out that it started up when I was tired, so I started taking more naps. What finally worked was getting in a small amount of caffeine (from chocolate pudding). My only frustration now is that I weigh one pound more than I did pre-surgery. How can that be ?!! I know, my body is just holding onto everything for dear life. It is frustrating, but I know that if I keep doing the right things, the weight loss will follow.

Yeah.... I'm feeling frustrated too, because my weight loss stopped too..... This is day 17 and I've only lost 12 pds������

I have been the same for 4 days & am NOT HAPPY about it!! It seems like most have lost 15-20 or more & I'm stuck at 12!! Grrrrrrrr.......

Don't know how to get unstuck, because I ABHOR these Protein shakes & can eat sooooooo little in terms of protein, so I am barely getting 60 g in....������

Don't be too hard on yourself. Getting 60 g of protein in already is awesome. Our bodies have to pause and say .. What the hell is going on???!!! .... then when it loses the fight the weight falls back off.
