I am had my surgery on 4/11, and just had my one week check up and I’m down only 6lbs. I’m feeling a bit disappointed, I was hoping for more. :-( Is this normal?

Yes, normal. That's almost a pound a day! When have you been able to lose 6 pounds in a week before? keep up the good work! And don't be discouraged.

Totally normal, especially when you consider that you were pumped full of fluids in hospital. Your body is in shock from the surgery. Be kind to yourself! Give your body time to heal.

Totally normal! I came home 12 lbs heavier and the scale barely budged the first two weeks. I freaked out !! But once the swelling went down and my body started to heal everything changed . It’s so hard NOT to fixate on the scale but in hindsight I wish I had just stayed off the dang thing. Good luck with your healing and journey ??

yes normal, you gained water weight at the hospital from the IVs. No worries, you'll be now losing weight. Don't get discouraged in 3 weeks, when you experience your first stall. It's totally normal as well. :-) Good Luck.

You are doing great! Everyone is different in this process. I lost 13 lbs in my first week but stalled the following weeks. I had to stop weighing myself and comparing myself to others progress. I was really getting discouraged. Then at my 8 week check up I found out I had lost 52 lbs since surgery. It blew my mind. Follow the process and you will see (YOUR) results. You are doing fantastic!!!!

I am one week out today. I’ve lost 5 pounds and 8.5 inches. Consider measuring yourself because scales are not the only indication of success. Find non-scale victories to help remind you that you are successful. Almost a pound a day is amazing. Think about your highest weight, pre-op diet weight, surgery day weight to now. Proud of you!
