I had surgery on 8/21 and I really haven't lost any weight. Others that had surgery the same day have already lost 10-15 lbs by now. I don't understand. I'm really not eating a lot and I am trying to get all my liquids and protein in. It would be just my luck to fail at this...

You are 9 days out from surgery..right??? You are just beginning. None of us drop weight at the same speed. You are going to make yourself crazy comparing weight loss with other people. Follow your surgeons instructions. Soon you will see the scale move.

I was frustrated that my loss was not as quick as I expected...I laugh about it now. Looking back a year has passed so quickly and the weight loss still amazes me.

Keep going make each day better that the day before.

Thanks Jenn. I needed to hear that.

I'm going to start walking too and maybe I will start seeing results.

Thanks for your encouragement rKing.

Maybe it's just the swelling/body in shock? I'm sure you will start losing soon.

Best of luck!

That makes sense.Thanks MarclikeAnAnt.

Patience is the key that first month. I also lost almost no weight the first two weeks after surgery. I think my body was just in shock and holding on to every ounce of water/fluid I put into it. If you are anything like me, your can start to wonder did this fail for me already? Don't worry, it will start to come off. You will start to see something soon I am sure.

The weight has started falling off finally! I guess I just panicked. Everyone reacts differently to this surgery and I have to keep that in mind. I will stop comparing my journey to others and start focusing on me!

I hear you! I have not lost weight since last week (third week stall) and I weighed in again this morning I am the same weight, trying to focus but its so hard when you are hungry, but can't eat anything and not losing weight, I lost 20 pounds first two weeks now nothing, I am trying to keep up on my water so hopefully I lose this week at some point ????

⬆️Drink some G2. It is known for breaking stalls. That is what I started drinking and the weight started falling off!

Yeah I'm there.. Had surgery on 8-12 lost about 15 pounds first 2 weeks then stalled for what will be the 3 weeks on Wednesday.. Just keeping my head up and plowing forward but a 3 week stall sux lol

It has been 90 degrees plus most days since I had surgery. At first it seemed like I wasn't losing at all, and I was discouraged. Then 10bs just came off, and it comes off in chunks randomly.

Your Water varies a lot and if you are struggling with constipation, until I got the constipation worked out, I wasn't losing.

All your bodies energy is going to repairing itself, let it work, and you will get there.

Drink all the water you can.

Thanks for the advice OutsideMatchinside. I am really struggling with plain water but I make myself drink as much as I can.

Smills the weight will start coming off again. Just be patient. I think my weight will start coming off quicker when I start going to the gym in about 3 more weeks.
