6 Weeks Post Surgery - Not losing weight

[rktaurus71 4]

I had my surgery on December 7th. I lost 20 lbs initially from the liquid dieting. Since then I have not been able to lose any. I'm staying at exactly the same weight (I went up 3 lbs over the holidays, then went right back down 3 lbs, but no more). I have had a few fills. My doctor said he really feels the next one (Monday) will be 'the one'. Right now, I have 6cc's in an 11cc band. I'm being very concious of what I'm eating and limiting carbs to just one cup of oatmeal a day (recommended by my nutritionist).

Is there hope? Is it too early to be worried? Would love to hear some positive stories and support. Thank you.

5 days a week exercise?

Getting Water and Protein in?

Eating only when you are hungry?

Hmm..

6 weeks post op is still pretty recent. Your body may still be adjusting to the surgery/band. Exercise is a large factor in losing weight. I had my surgery Oct 29 and am down 30 pounds since surgery, 40 altogether and I started exercising on a regular basis one week after surgery. Eat right, exercise and keep up the good work and the weight will start coming off. Good Luck!
