yes my daughter is 4 weeks post op and shes discouraged as to her weight loss

I'm 5 weeks out. I've been stalled for 2 weeks, which I know from reading on here is very typical, but it's still incredibly frustrating and a real head game.

I'm 6.5 weeks post Op. Down 35 lbs and so many inches that I'm thrilled. I am swimming laps and jogging for an hour a day. Loving exercise because I'm amazed and thrilled at how much my body can do now!! Breakfast every day is a protein shake. Without that, I don't get enough protein into my day.

I still struggle to get all my water in but I'm working on it.

I am almost 8 weeks post op. I have lost about 40lbs without exercise (I start Water aerobics tomorrow). At my 6 week check up two weeks ago I was scolded because I don't eat enough and I have lost too much weight. In fact, I have lost another 10lbs since I last saw the doctor; she isn't going to be happy with me.

It takes me about a hour to drink a Protein shake and the only one I can tolerate right has 14g of protein (in comparison to premier which has 30g). I eat so little that I try to make it count so I will eat meat/eggs and try to snack on nuts and cheese. Then fruits and vegetables. Let's take today for example: I tried to make myself a Protein Drink but my kid drank it all so I had some water. For lunch I had a small apple, again shared with my kid. About 3 hours later I started on my protein drink and finished it. A couple of hours later I had an egg and about 6 grapes. When I got home from work I had 4 slices of sausage (size of a quarter) and 6 penne Pasta. I say all of that to say: I am a work in progress.

Tell your daughter to think positive we all will go through it . Just keep active and eat healthy and not to forget to drink water ????
