So Disappointed,post Op 1 Week Appt

[Misstxdiva 73]

Only lost 10lbs between last tuesday and now. So sad, thought I'd lose more since I was a lot heavier at 384 Pre op. Literally writing this while waiting for the doc, trying not to cry. I already don't feel good and this just ruined my day

I read that the first week is usually hard because the IV pushes so many fluids in you and you have more Water retention after the first week and there is extra bloating due to the gas in the tummy. Lack of food also can have lack of bm's. I hope your doctor explains this to you and you are proud of your 10 pounds.

Ten pounds in one week? Congratulations!!!!! At lot of people don't lose at all due to the aforementioned fluids, etc. Don't worry. The weight is going to continue to come off. Stalls will happen. many get them after week 3. Keep trucking on and get in your fluids and Protein.< /p>

Sweetie dont feel bad. I went to my appointment today and gained 5 pounds according to the scale. At least you are losing and NOT gaining. I will be glad when I can start losing. You try to stay encouraged, and you put a smile on your face, and dont allow the devil to win! Keep work YOU ARE LOSING AND NOT GAINING!

Lean on the knowledge this forum has to offer. Stalling and gaining seem to go with journey. Hang in there!!

10 pounds in one week is HUGE that's a pound a day! Don't be sad, be PROUD!

Thank you everyone. My doc said don't worry about it, he said I lost 10 pounds in a week, when's the last time that happened?!? It seems I'm losing inches more than pounds, he was pleased with my progress he noticed I looked smaller. He said he'd rather have me weigh like 290 looking frame wise like I'm 180 rather than weighing 180 but built like I'm 290 (he used that as an example). So I'm just gonna focus on inches rather than pounds and limit my weigh ins to just appointments only or once a month. That way I won't obsess!
