You shouldn't even be weighing yourself this early out. Your body is recovering from the trauma of surgery and will do all sorts of crazy things. Seriously, it has no relation to the reality of how much you are or are not eating, so the scale cannot possibly give you meaningful information. Have someone hide it from you for a few weeks if you can't resist it.

Everytime I see a post like this, regarding very little weight loss in the beginning, it takes me back to my post op week 2. Once I got on here and started reading all the posts about people stalling, it really helped me through! Give yourself some time, it truly truly is worth it! Please don't get frustrated, just stick to it and you'll do a great job. This was definitely the best decision of my life, though I didn't feel that way the first month. I'm post-op 7 months and I've lost 110 pounds and have truly had a lot of my questions answered on these posts!!! If you have any other questions, remember to ask your doctor or nutritionist but sometimes getting on here and reading from people who went through it will really help! The stall is real, get rid of the scale and you'll be fine.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
