Had my surgery21 days ago and have only lost 8 pounds WHY? On the 2 week liquid before surgery I lost 17 pounds . But shouldn't I have lost more?

Everyone is different, your body is still adjusting.. stick with your eating plan that your surgeon provided, exercise and portion control. If you do all there the wight will come off - some of us are slower than other including me !!! I'm a major slow loser.

It's so discouraging ! I even went back to work this week and still nothing ! And I am following my plan all the way.

Its probably because you lost 17 lbs right before surgery and then another 8, your body is just in shock to the loss...I am 31/2 wks out and ive only lost 15 lbs with a 10 day stall in the middle, so i am super slow too....dont worry, your prob at a stall and then it will start coming off again....

I'm in the same boat. Lost 10 lbs the first week, then nothing till 2 days ago. I'm one month out today. I was told to not worry our bodies are in what the heck did you do to me point. It hard not to be disappointed, but my family tell me to remember to give the body time to adjust. Chin up.

Im almost 4 weeks PO and gained 2 1/2 lbs, and only lost 16, now only 13...!!!! ugh

Who ever said : This was the easy way to loose weight never had RNY !! Hanging in there!

Try thinking of it this way - there is absolutely no doubt that as long as you follow the protocol as closely to the letter as you possibly can and stay active, you will lose weight. The laws of science and the universe cannot be denied. Sometimes you'll lose slowly. Sometimes you'll lose quickly. Sometimes you won't lose at all. But your plan of action is the same in all three cases. Follow the protocol and stay active. And of course I personally would add maintain a food log!

Your goal is physical change but your challenge is mental discipline. You cannot directly control the path your weight loss will take. You can control your thoughts. Stay positive, stay patient, stay focused - persistence, along with absolute belief, can never be defeated.

You're gonna love the new you!!

I'm almost 11 months out and was very slow for the first month or two. I had a huge drop of weight over a two week span around 9 months. Everyone is different. Just stick to it and I KNOW it is soooo hard, but stay patient. Love yourself and don't allow yourself to get discouraged. This is kinda cheesy and I've never told anyone this until now, but the song "I won't give up" by Jason mraz- I used to sing it to myself, sometimes looking in the mirror. Read the words and think about it ????
