Come on guys, I was doing way better than this BEFORE my surgery! And I only had IV fluids @80ml hour for 12 hours so I'm not in fluid overload. I'm only drinking clear liquids, my bowels are moving fine now, I'm off the pain meds except Tylenol. As an RN I can't think of a rational medical reason for this! I am walking, not sedentary I've given the starvation mode theory some thought but lost like a boss on the pre op liquids!

p.s. I has lost 2 more pounds briefly one morning but it was right back up the next!

Today is my 8 week mark and I am down 21 since surgery (42 total). I am a much slower looser than most on here. I was 222on the morning of surgery. I do not exercise every day and I know that is probably a big part of the issue along with often being shy of my protein goal. I am a work in progress. I am going to my first support group tonight and hope to learn something new. Good luck on your journey!
