Good morning....Okay is it just me or am I doing something wrong here....Here it is, I am 4 weeks post op and so far I have only lost 25lbs since my surgery...I know that if you don't get in your Proteins and all it can slow down your weight lost (understand that). I have been able to up my Protein intake now that I am on soft foods and all and now I can get protein in by other ways besides my Protein drinks and shakes....I am doing my exercise and all...so what gives...I am lost, seems like nothing that I am doing is working to jump start my weight lost again...If any one have any input...please help!!!

Next week I will be 2mons postop, I've lost 15lbs since surgery, I lost 30, just before surgery. I would love to have lost 25lbs in my 1st month. Now that I am in the gym hopefully the fat weight will come off faster. Overall I cant complain, I feel better than I have in years. I enjoy going to the gym it's loads of fun. And I look forward to skinnier clothes in my future.

@@cmblackmon35, I think you are doing a fantastic job!! One thing I decided before I left the hospital was that I would only weigh myself on Mondays. That has been one of the smartest things I did. I don't worry then every day when my weight might fluctuate. One week I was down 2#, the next 1/2# and the next week 3! I try very hard not to worry too much and to concentrate on eating well and excercising. I have lost 30# in eight weeks and I am thrilled!!!!! Slow and steady means less sagging I hope. lol Keep up the good work.

Good morning everyone....I planned on posted this on Wednesday but I was dealing with death in my family. Okay, here is an update...After dealing with the stall that I was having, I took a lot of the advise that was giving by increasing my calories, looking at my exercise workout and everything in between. So I decided to weigh myself on Wednesday and I was down another 4.5lbs. It may not seem like a lot...but it is to me....Thanks for all of the support that you all have not only given to me but to others who are dealing with the same thing...

I did the same thing. I weighed myself day 3 post op and was up 13 pounds from day of surgery weight! I was totally shocked. I am still very bloated and have some minor swelling in my feet so I know there is still a ton of Fluid in there from the surgery. I see the doc for my visit on Monday.

Congrats everyone everything you are talking about is normal gaining. Weight after surgury is from all of the gas and liquids they put in you for surgury loosing 25 pounds is a lot in one month stay focus listen to your doctors get in your protein and walk the warfighter will come off you will have stalls but stay focus and good luck .

everyone is different. ultimately you will lose if you follow the rules. i lost 30 the first month, 80 the second, im 5.5 months post op and lost 115 now. I had complications early on that made me lose way faster. my mom had it done and she lost 120 in total and it wasnt as fast as me but it happened.

Where did u get that body weight ticker pic. I like that? Keep with the program. I'm 3 weeks today and lost 25lbs. Keep with the protein. I start gym today kinda pumped and scared.

I found that when I wasn't losing the weight I was losing the inches! 25 lbs in 4 weeks is awesome!
