Only 4 pounds lost since surgery on 1/30

I'm feeling very devastated. I had surgery on 1/30/17 as of today i have only lost 4 pounds. I am eating 600-800 calories, getting 80 grams of Protein and eating less the 40 carbs per day. I drink 96oz of Water and i walk 2-3 miles per day. Can someone please give me advise or support? I never expected weight loss to be so slow.

      Don't forget to take measurements too! Sometimes th scale betrays what is happening in our bodies.

      You're too early out. Your body is still recovering. You will lose, and it will likely speed up a great deal. Weight loss in month 1 means nothing about the overall success of the surgery--it's an an

    I have lost 3 more pounds since i posted this, a total of 7. What did your doctor say?






    He believes I'm doing great. He just said, keep exercising and it will come off. Follow the plan and I'll see you in 3 months.

    Don't under estimate the weight of muscle gain. Muscle weighs more than fat, if you lost 10lbs of fat and 6 lbs of muscle are you still upset? The scale doesn't break down your body composition, but if you are sticking to the plan your body is changing. Your DR obviously knows this, thus shared no concern of you lack of short term loss. I am in a two week stall as well, so I know the underlying anxiety that builds evertime we step on the scale an don't see what we hope or expect. I do think you should hide the scale. I havent lost a pound in two weeks, but I lost an inch on my waste!
    Stay strong and stay on plan, and it all comes off in time. You are making wonderful life changes, the weight will come off. Thank you for sharing.
