I completely understand, my surgery was March 5-just 10 days ago and I have lost 12 pounds. I am very happy about that number. What is freaking me out is that I lost all of it in the first 5 days- the scale hasn't moved in 5 days. I am getting all my fluid, protein, walking in and am eating less than 600 calories every day. How can the scale NOT move? I am scared that the sleeve is not going to work for me. I am afraid I went through all of this and I am still going to be fat
