I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow.

I have found that I lost more weight during my 2 week Pre-Op Diet, than I have in the 4 weeks since my Surgery.

2 weeks Pre Op = 20 lbs

4 weeks Post Op = 10 lbs ( and fluctuating up and down a lb )

I'm doing everything right -getting tons of Protein (70-100 per day ) in the form of canned pureed chicken/tuna and Protein shakes, my calories rarely go over 800...Limiting carbs ( the only carbs I get are from Fat Free Milk and some in my Fat Free pudding ) Not eating fruit yet , haven't started eating salads and veggies again yet... Just not losing weight the way I expected to. I feel hungry all the time, even though I get enough protein. I keep reading about how people can only eat 2 TBSP of a food and they are stuffed. Is anyone else experiencing this also at 4 weeks out ?

@@Watch.Me.Lose.It I think the thing that took me a while to get my head around is that WLS isn't like losing weight in the past. It is not a "diet". You will never be "done" with it. Your sleeve is forever. So how long it takes you to lose the weight is completely meaningless in the long term. Once you are at goal and maintaining with the help of your sleeve, you aren't going to be looking back and thinking "if only I'd reached goal one month faster!" As long as you get there eventually, how long it took you will be so unimportant once you are there.

As long as you aren't giving into those cravings with foods you shouldn't be eating yet. You've got to do what you've got to do to deal with them for now. The cravings should subside sooner or later as you adapt to your new reality.
