      That's 24 days....and I dare say not so normal. have you seen your bariatric team for follow-up? Eating too many carbs in your soft phase may slow you down (bananas, pudding, noodle, mashed potatoes, etc). You definitely need to reach out to your professional team. If the family is sabotaging you, tell the to Knock it off.

      I agree with Miss Mac. Everyone is different but I was at a BMI of 40 when I had rny and lost 20 lbs the first month. If you can, I recommend getting a scale that measures body fat not just weight and BMI. This way you will know when you truly lose fat or if you're up a few pounds you will know if it is just water weight. It is possible you are retaining water if you're a little dehydrated but please call your team.

      Well I have lost a total of 21 since the post op diet....so I guess I lost 5 lol but I am not eating carbs....drinking milk and yogurt for snack....I do notice a difference in my clothes....but 5 lbs in 2 weeks seems wrong to what I am eating....I only go back in June for my check up.
