23 days post-op.

Feeling ok physically, but full of fear and anxiety and have no idea what's going well or not. I'm weighing myself weekly and last week I only lost 1 lb. WTF?! Considering that I'm starving (finally this week I have pureed food) and only "eating" liquids. I'm taking in my 64 oz fluids and reach my protein requirement almost every day. But I'm taking in very few calories --rarely more than 500. I expected significantly more weight loss that one f@#$ing pound. Am I crazy?

Expect 2-4lbs per week in the beginning. That's average. Quit watching My 600lb Life. LOL. Also there is a well-known 3 week stall that happens. You're right on time. Relax. Breathe. Work your program.

Congrats!

Sounds like the dreaded three week stall!! Happened to me and many people I've read had the same experience. Google it, there is tons of info! My third week was actually a GAIN [emoji30]. Then lost nothing the next week, and finally picked back up again. Your body is just adjusting. Follow the plan for food/protein and portion sizes. It helped me to watch YouTube videos of people who had their stalls and then look at their most current videos. They were all still successful. Was nice to see and made me feel better! Hang in there. I'm a slow loser and totally impatient.

I am about 17 days out and I only lost 1lb last week. I feel your frustration. I am barely eating anything I feel like it should be melting off! Lol.
I did start doing some cardio at the end of last week so maybe I see more this week.
Good Luck!!

I dropped 37 pounds in my first month, then proceeded to lose not one single pound for nearly two weeks!! It's normal, so don't lose faith!!

Yes that dreaded three week stall.

WE all lose at our own rates. Try not to compare yourself to others. Mine was so slow in the beginning. I was doing everything right and I didn't think it was working. Just keep at it. It does work and you will lose weight. Our bodies need to adjust to our new attitudes and habits.

The old saying here quoted from JUNGLE BOOK "TRUST IN ME"!! CHANGE it around AND REPEAT, REPEAT, AND REPEAT AGAIN!! TRUST YOUR PLAN!! It works
