I was sleeved 9/16. Really no pain, haven't taken pain meds since day I came home. But I have buyer's regret right now. And its stupid but I do.

I know, I know, its been done lots of times, discussed in various threads, etc, etc. But....and I told myself I wouldn't do this and stress but....

I feel like I didn't lose very much weight this week

HW was 251

Pre op diet I lost 19lbs so

SW was 232 and when I came home I was239 (fluids)

CW is 227.5

I read all these posts and everyone else is losing such fantastic amounts and I'm sitting here getting worked up, sad, and angry. I didn't expect to lose it all in a month but I did expect more especially since I all read is that your best loss is in the first 3 months. My fear is I will never make goal.

I go tomorrow for the post op recheck and I'm embarrassed that I haven't done well. Surgeon said that if it poured it was mine and not to count calories just work on Water and Protein. I have been getting my 64oz water in every day except 1 and I have never had less than 40g of protein...most days its been 60. The first 2 days I was doing just Isopure so I only had about 160 cal for the day. I have not had one thing not allowed. I know I should be grateful that I'm recovering well and have absolutely no hunger but....I admit, the scale has lots of power over me.

Sorry for the whiny rant. What a crappy first post but it is really hard right now and I'm doubting my decision to do this....not that I can undo it but I wish I felt better. I have failed so many times in the past that to fail at this initially is really hard.

What am I doing wrong?

If you find out what your doing wrong please tell me. Weight pre op diet 387 weight after surgery 367 CW (14 days after last weigh in ) is 350 sounds great put I haven't lost anything in 6 days!!!. I meet water and protein goals ever day calories are less than800 so what's the deal? I'm frustrated too

Both of you guys numbers sound great, 5lb In 7 days!! We are just getting started.
