MY surgery was jan 15 hw 267 sw 247 cw 250 :/ I'm trying to be patient but why isn't this working

That is only 5 days. You may still be carrying fluid and/or need to have a BM. Be patient.

I woke up in the recovery room asking, "Am I thin yet?" I don't think I started losing weight until the 2nd week post-op - and then only slowly. I still had lots of fluid in me from surgery. And I was very swollen. You will lose the weight, just hang in there and stick with your program.

well, you ARE losing weight, seems to be working to me....

there is no time limit, no expiration date, no race to finish...its getting healthy/well at YOUR pace

Hi DeAnna,

My surgery was Dec16th13.i had lost 15 lbs before surgery then i was 3weeks post op nd lost 18 lbs then the forth week past nd nothing ,i started getting fustrated myself .my Dr. kept saying my body is still healing nd its going to take time. yesterday i weighed myself same exact weight . i got down. then i weighed myself this morning nd i lost 3lbs from yesterday morning . so i was very happy. but this forum will tell us don't go by the weight go by our clothes nd our inches .

did u measure urself before surgery i did. nd I'm getting smaller....even if the scale kept reading different .

I'll say this.... this surgery is teaching patients !

congrats on ur surgery .

I love this quote. This is not a race--there is no finish line. This is a never-ending journey. We all move at our own pace, and if you stick with your program, you will lose!

Thanx for the responses I was over reacting the scale is moving down feeling great
