Day 7; no weight loss yet - when did you start losing?

I know the stomach swelling can last for a few weeks, but I was hoping to see some movement on the scale by now. :/. I've been getting in 100g protein, 64oz water and 2 miles walking each day, and my calories are between 400-800. I dropped a pound around day 4 but regained it. Could drinking salty broth have kept me retaining water, so weight loss doesn't show? My clothes fit the same (because if that probably-swollen stomach). When did you start losing weight after surgery?

I am 5 weeks out and haven't lost anything in 2 weeks. So scared I am somehow getting too many calories. Plus I am still hungry. I am freaking out.

I've read of others who hit a stall at 3 weeks. I don't think it's uncommon to hit stalls as your body readjusts to its new size.

Yes stalls are very normal but you should also be tracking your food so you know how many calories, carbs, and Protein you're getting......Just stick to your plan and the weight will come off.

Also they pump you full of liquid at the hospital it can take a week or two for it to flush out. Ironically the more liquid you drink the faster it flushes and you start losing.
