Oh No I'm Really Hungry

[xoxococojay 842]

I called and was told I became dehydrated the first night after surgery. So they increased my IV fluids. I think the nurse got carried away. LOL. I came home 13 lbs heavier. Took ten days to get rid of the Fluid. It's been five weeks post surgery I've lost, not counting the 13 lbs of Fluid, 9 lbs. seems low to me.
I have appointment scheduled on Monday the 16th. I'm hoping for some help. I'm 64 years old and my BMI was 35, post surgery. I'm very disappointed at how slow I'm loosing. I'm taking in about 600 calories and getting in between 50 to 60 grams of Protein daily.
I do 64 oz of fluids daily too
Just so slow. My friend lost 20 lbs her first month. So my expectations were hoping for that too. Oh well.

I'm glad they figured out what was going on.

It's easy to be in support groups and compare your progress to other people's. Don't get caught up in that, and don't get discouraged. At least you are now losing weight and as long as you watch what you eat, you will reach your goal weight without question. It won't be easy but you can do it. Besides 9 pounds in a short time is still an accomplishment. And as you start to eat more, you will continue to lose more. Don't stress. Good luck to you!!

Don't know if this will help, but I started adding more fat to my diet and that has really helped with satiety. I am a year out, so that is a consideration also. I am reading about which fats I want to include as there is a lot of old and new information out there.

I'm 5 days Post Op. gained 13 lbs when I was released from hospital. Full of Fluid. I woke up this morning back to my pre surgery weight. Took five days to get rid of all the Fluid they pumped into me. On clear liquid diet and am so hungry. Is this normal? I'm getting worried. I'm not sure I can make another week feeling this hungry.

Girllllllll I am 6 days post op and I have been thinking about food non stop! I've been thinking and craving food so much it almost turned into a game with my fiancé where I just call out what I am craving that minute. Plus my girls gotta eat and I am strong enough to where I don't have to run and hide when some eats around me but damn. I just keep telling myself the horrendous consequences of even sneaking a bite a this stage and I remind myself how if I stay honest on this diet I will reap the rewards. 6 days out and down 20lbs so I don't want to be the reason why that goes back up. You will be ok! [emoji173]️
