What have I done to myself?

I am so incredibly disappointed. I have not lost a single pound in 3 weeks. I get all my Protein and fluids in. And I just say NO to carbohydrates. BUT STILL NOTHING. I realize my BMI was lower than others so I am not expecting big numbers every week. But I eat so much better than before surgery, I should have some results!

And a new side effect appeared this week, dizziness. I am dizzy all the time. I don't even think it's safe to drive anymore. What have I done to myself?

Why are you staying away from carbs? Just curious... My doc says I need them.

I stay away from carbs because it's the diet that my physician put me on.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I have my 6 week follow-up on Friday so I can bring up all my concerns. I still have only lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks. I could have done that without surgery. I can't wait to have my doctor weigh in.

@VSGAnn, Maybe I needed to hear your thoughts, sometimes I just want the weight to fall off, and I have myself thinking if I dont eat and drink it will come off faster, very wrong

Oh BTW my surgery was 10/29/15 - weight 245lbs today I weighed 219, yes I should be Thankful

Sometimes it just helps to vent and hear others thoughts

You have lost a lot of weight in just 4 weeks!! It does take some time. Just keep doing what your doing because it is happening!! 2 pounds a week is a realistic goal.

You don't get bonus points for not eating. As a matter of fact, getting enough nutrition is critical for healing and weight loss. Not eating, restricting, and other disordered eating habits are counterproductive and dangerous.

I agree. It's not a road you want to go down.
