I am also 6 days out and have lost 8lbs since having surgery. Not that this is a bad thing. I just get discouraged seeing all of these high losses.

Please don't despair. Your weight loss is a journey. There will be success and failure and rebuilding.

The important thing is to exercise when you can, eat sensibly log your food and attend regular support group meetings and stay in touch with your healthcare provider and nutritionist. I won't tell you about my success it has been great but everyones is different. Don't think that because someone has lost two hundred pounds that an eighty pound loss isn't still a victory. You are both so early on in your journey. You have done the right thing you will not be sorry and your life will be better for it. We are all here to support you and always will. We all look forward to hearing aobut your success.

I lost 3 pounds in the first 17 days postop. Now I'm five pant sizes smaller and 2 pounds from my surgeons goal...do not despair and do not obsess over the numbers on the scale!
