Hi,

I hope you are all happy and well <3

Im 3 weeks post op tomorrow still on puree'd food only and prot shakes. Incisions all but healed with a tiny pinching burning feeling next to my lowest incision when i bend down only and its not too bad so i think just healing.

Ive dropped 7kilos (16lbs) in the first 2 weeks but nothing in the 3rd week am i expecting too much? maybe. Anyone else like to share their numbers as i feel like need to know if others are similar.

Also i slept ALOT over the last 3 weeks, my body seemed to want 8-10hours of sleep per day but i have managed to fit walking in also, now back at work so illl be moving more.

Thank you all so much for your honesty and willingness to reply. Im worried that it is not happening as fast as i thought or that its not working for me. I am sticking to the plan and trying to be positive.

Has anyone else noticed that they are a bit emotional after surgery, i definitely have and seem to be tearing up at the smallest of things. I did read that it can be a anesthetic side effect.

Trying to be patient.

It's important not to compare weight loss. There are far too many variables. Our journeys are our own! Stay with the plan. As you are burning fat - your body is releasing stored hormones - making you emotional, depressed, etc. It's very common. Stay strong!

Yes I was more emotional the first few weeks after surgery. I'm 5 weeks out now and that has leveled off now.

Wow that's great!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about pauses and even small gains in weight. We all fluctuate with our cycles and the moon ... and whatever evil being is currently focusing on us

Seriously though my own weight loss journey has been very up and down (literally). I seem to get stuck on a regular basis and then seemingly overnight I will shift as much as 2 kg and am then left wondering where did it go in 12 hours?

I had a friend who encouraged me to stop weighing myself so often and that worked. I cut down from daily (sometimes even 2 or 3 times a day) to once a fortnight. Now I am much more focused on living than on weight loss ... and I can see that over time the weight has off. It just doesn't happen in a straight line.

It isn't easy ... i was like you at first .. terrified that I would be the one who didn't succeed. It is so hard to let go of that fear and learn to just live again. But please give it a try. It really will make a huge difference to the way you feel. Just trust in the process. It is proven to work so let go of the need to control it and start enjoying your new life.

Tomorrow is my two weeks post op and I'm down 18lbs so far

I have lost 25 pounds in 3 weeks. I am having so many issues with food. I hate the taste of every thing. Then when I drink the shakes or soup I vomit them up. I will say that I do have regular bm, I am no longer on blood pressure or diabete meds, and I no longer need my sleep apnea machine. Today I have actually started to add fitness to the mix.

My start weight was 274, Surgery weight 250, and I weight 225 this past Thursday.
