I am 13 days post op. When I came home, I had lost about 15 pounds. I lost nothing during pre-surgery liquid phase. I am now stuck at 13 pounds only. I have been this way the past 5 days. While I am not having to use my insulin now and I am happy about that, I am super disappointed that I am not losing this soon out. My clothes fit the same also. I'm feeling that I may have made a mistake. Any other stories or thoughts like this?

If you get your Water, virtually eliminate unnecessary carbs, eat lean Protein first and then a bit of veges/low sugar fruit, chew like crazy, you will lose. The plateaus are tough to get through, but already I am seeing lots of weight coming off.

13 days post-op! That is too soon to worry. Just stick with the program. Meet the Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements and watch the magic happen.

Your body has probably gone into survival mode try increasing calorie intake a bit if possible and try doing some exercise if your ready to do so.

Keep doing what you were told to do!! we all stall so if you keep up the good work it will pay off! Don't lose faith yet!

Keep the faith, your body is in protection mode. Do what you are supposed to and be patient. It will work

I know how you feel, I'm 16 days and have been having huge buyers remorse I miss food like mad, I'm not losing weight, actually I fluctuate like crazy, and it's doing my head in.

I have been sticking to the required meal plan, I think it may have put me into starvation mode, and on top of that I feel freezing cold all the time, where as before the surgery I always ran hot.

And also my boobs are tender very very tender and have been for the past two weeks.

I hate myself right now.

I freeze a lot too. For the first time tonight I got sick. Every time I eat I feel yuck. I can't determine if I am eating too much, eating too big of a bite, or eating something my body can't handle. Either way I am finding I don't like the way I feel. I can't fix what I am doing if I don't know what's wrong.

All I can say is that it gets better. I had revision surgery from lap-band to RNY on April 29th. First 3-4 weeks was not great at all. Everything I ate made me feel sick. But you can get thru it. I decided pre-surgery that I wouldn't weigh myself more than once a week. And I've pretty much stuck to that and it really helps because you are better able to see the results.
