Hey guys I'll be a month post op on the 7 of February! However I'm a bit down ???? prior to surgery I was on optifast shakes for two weeks I lost 17 pounds the week post op I lost 13 pounds I'm about to make a month and that's so far all I have lost! My appetite is at an all time high now I'm eating soups still and some solids mostly veggies but I don't understand why weight isn't shedding. Any suggestions? Weight day of surgery 227 current weight 216

I had my surgery the same day and I started at 254. Surgery weight was 230 and now I'm only 217 .. But my clothes are fitting better and getting to big so I am judging by that! Good luck

From what I understand, your body goes into starvation mode and holds onto weight for a little bit. This should pass. I had a 3 day period where I was the same weight each day but then started losing again. This is why it's important to exercise and get your protein. This tells your body that you need your muscles and that it needs to burn fat. It also tells your body that food is still coming. I read that your body has to switch to fat burning and not muscle-burning or starvation mode. Your body is just adjusting right now.
