Went in today for a followup, I'm two weeks post op today, I lost 2 1/2 pounds. I lost 15 my first week. I was hoping is lost more. I mean, I'm glad I went down but its not what I expected.

Your body has to adjust to the weight loss. You are going to have some weeks or even a few weeks in a row where you won't lose anything. Like fr me this month I lost 1lb but lost a pants size and shirt size.

Your body has to adjust and relearn what you are doing.

I'm starting week 4 today. The same thing happened to me except I gained weight in week two. 9 lbs! After losing 17 the first week. Don't worry. The scale will move again. Stalls are normal. And the dreaded 3 week stall is famous around here....look it up. I had the same fears and it all came off and I'm still going down. Just follow your plan and you'll be fine!

This is totally normal at this point. The weight will come off. Your job is to eat proteins and get all your fluids in. Make sure your hydrated because dehydration really sucks..... Sit back and watch the weight come off now. Work on new eating habits and exercise. This is such an awesome ride....

I know how you feel.....there are a lot of people typing and thinking what you posted. I had surgery on 9-10, and I haven't lost anything in a week. I think this surgery makes you crazy and obsessive about what your body is doing, and what you are doing to your body. I am hoping it gets better, from what I have read on here it will.

Well, I ended up being a little dehydrated too. I had to get 2 liters of fluid today as well. Of course, they couldn't stick me so I got stuck 5 times before they finally got an I.V. in. It's been a long day.

Ugh, getting fluids at the hospital is never fun, but ain't it amazing how much better you feel?

And 17 lbs. in two weeks? I'd kill for that! Or lop off part of my thigh, anyway. You go girl!
