female only Fear that i wont lose weight?

[rmoisson 4]

This may sound strange, but I had my rny less than 2 weeks ago, March 13. I lost about 15 pounds from the day before surgery until the end of the week on full liquids. I'm on puréed food now and haven't lost anymore weight. I still feel hungry and offer. And not like head hunger- my stomach actually growls! I have no nausea with anything and I rarely feel full. I'm worried my pouch is too big and I'm never going to lose weight. Am I alone, because I see so much success and so many people saying they are never hungry for months. Ahhhh! I'm hungry! I am following my diet perfectly as well, though it's tempting at times to eat more. I get plenty of Protein. What's wrong with me!?!?

Nothing is wrong with you at all! I felt exactly the same way! My scale froze for three weeks! I had lost 10 lbs my first week but NOTHING week 2, 3 and 4! I even gained two pounds. I was eating soft foods, and Protein as prescribed and about 500 calories a day. You need to trust the process and trust your doctor. The scale is just feedback.

I know I've always lost weight slowly and that is one reason I always gave up on diets before. I would sacrifice and have 1 or 2 pounds to show for it. I'm at week 7 post-op and the scale still moves very, very slowly, but it is moving down! That is what is most important and incredible. Keep the faith! This does work!

Thank you for your kind words, Carol. I will hang in there, it's so easy to feel alone sometimes and that this won't work for me. Thanks so much.

Hey remoisson, don't stress you are only a few weeks out you might still be swollen and your body might just be adjusting to this new thing your doing to it!! Everyone loses differently, how often are you eating? What are you puréeing? It wouldn't hurt to add in a shake in replace of a meal? I know you've just spent so much time on the shakes but I will drink them forever if I could??? Lol also remember don't stress it, stress just make you gain weight??? I am in my mind it will happen as long as I follow the steps!!! You can do this, just have faith in yourself and talk to your doc ask him/her what they think is going on why your so hungry?? Also don't forget your never alone here on this site you always have someone that is willing to give you some kind of advice!!! Good luck!!!

Thanks so much everyone. Sometimes just hearing (or reading) these things from others relaxes you. You have made my day and I appreciate that. Looking on the bright side today.
