I feel like i'm not losing any weight I think i'm down 8 lbs total from surgery i'm following all the rules and not cheating and i'm in the gym for an hour every day...is this normal I expected to be lighter by now.

Your body is still swollen and holding on to whatever it can. You probably are still retaining water as well. Drink your water, eat your protein and relax. Think of it this way. Have you ever lost 8 lbs in 13 days before? It will come off. It's hard to be patient. Thus my name, slowtogo...lol!!!

Hang in there... you are only 13 days out. The weight is not all going to come off in a week. Its going to take months of hard work, eating right and following doctor's orders. You have to work with the surgery. You body is still adjusting to the surgery, believe me the pounds will come off, some people lose quicker than others.

I was thinking the same thing I had surgery 10/3 lost only 11 pounds but I have found it hard to get the Protein in, so my goal today is to get it in no matter what. I feel really good.

I've been stuck on the same weight for two weeks. I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. Week one I lost 12 lbs, but nothing since then. I am walking and watching what I eat, drink only water. Idk... I have a check up tomorrow. Hopefully they will shed some light on this.

Are you getting enough calories in if not your body is in starvation mode so your body will hold onto what ever you take in and slows you metabolism down.and not break down fat.

Just Becuse you don't see the weight change on the scale your body is changing you just don't see it yet Becuse you stair at it every day looking for change.

You will see the change when you go close shopping.

Hang it there it will come off
