Don't be so sensitive. He married you before the surgery. To much real drama happening in the world to internalize such a comment from hubby. Live and let live. Don't look for a fight over nothing. Unless your ready to kick him out.

Any March Surgeries?

I am having the same difficulty. I am 12 days post op and only 6 pounds down. It's so depressing, it's making me question my choice. Before surgery this kind of diet I would lose a ton of weight and now after weight loss surgery nothing. Everyone keeps saying gas and water retention, because they can't really explain why. I take blood pressure meds, which include a water pill, so I am not retaining. I never even new this could be a possibility, please let me know when things change. -
12 days post op, only six pounds down. Trying so hard to keep depression away. I would have lost a lot more weight pre surgery on the same diet. Why is this happening to me?

Take a breath and try to reframe your perspective. Your surgery experience is not going to be the same as what other folks have gone through, so the only benchmarks that you have to work from are your own past weight loss experiences. Six pounds in less than two weeks is a decent amount of weight lost in a short period of time, surgery or not. It's likely that things will pick up over time, especially as you get moving and adapt back into a routine diet.
Don't lose heart. You've got this! -

I gained about 10 lbs of water weight from the iv fluids and it took a week or two to shake it off. Your body just had a HUGE trauma to it and there's a lot of internal swelling. Plus, your body is in shock and it can take a little while for it to get with the program. FYI most have a stall around the 3 week mark- it's totally normal. And 6lbs in 12 days is a lot! Esp considering the above. It's not a race, it's a journey.

Thanks need the encouragement, because I literally woke my husband up crying my eyes out. He actually threatened to call my mom. -

Six days post op and only lost 1 pound. What the hell? All this suffering for what. I feel like I am in the twilight zone.
