Didn't loose as much as I thought I would at this point .....

I know everyone is different. But I'm 2 weeks post op (VSG) and I've only lost 7 lbs since the surgery. I've lost a total of 17 lbs b/c of the pre op diet but I'm only 7 down in 2 weeks since surgery. First, I am grateful that I've lost any weight at all. And I realize it takes time and that I need to appreciate how far I've come and to be patient. But the main reason for my post is, I'd like to hear from others (early on at 2-3 weeks post op) on how much weight they've lost since surgery? Has anyone else only lost just a few pounds early on or did you loose a lot more in the beginning?

I'm two weeks post op and I feel the same way. I'm down about 8lbs since surgery, and I was getting really frustrated, but, I realized that my body is in starvation mode, and I need to step up my protein intake. My programs goal is 80-90grams of protein a day. So I have three small meals, and 3 protein shakes. I'm going back to work next week, so I hope that helps kickstart my workout. Also, if you feel down, measure the inches you've lost. My chest and hips are down about 4 inches each!! This alone made me super stoked.

Thank you so much it is nice to know I'm not alone ! It is frustrating keep in touch , I too have lost inches didn't measure before wish I had,

The Dr. Assures me if I keep on doing what I'm doing it will eventually come off I guess I should be happy I'm not gaining . Good luck to you too
