Frustrating! So I Be Worried?

[bee0927 12]

Its been 11 days since my surgery and the last few days I haven't lost any weight. With my pre-op diet and the weight lost after my diet I have lost a total of 23 lbs however - it has stopped and the last 3 days I haven't even lost a pound.

Should I been worried? I am eating all of my Protein and H2O drinks.

No don't worry. We all have a stall our bodies are balancing out a bit and we will start losing weight again. I'm 11 days out and have lost weight in 3 days either.

Get used to the stops and starts - they will continue. Most people advise that you only weigh yourself once a week. There's no way you will NOT lose weight, but plateaus are normal and you will have lots of them. Just be patient.

Also if any of us loose 15-20 lbs plus in a 30 day period that itself is amazing. Let's not worry ourselves about daily weight loss but look at the big picture once a month.

I know if I loose anymore this month it's a bonus. I lost 17 in June pre-op. I am already down 15 for July and the month just started. I am not weighing myself again until 7/28 one month post-op...the bigger/smaller picture lol

No, ou should not be worried...I didnt start losing weight until day 14....my first week post op I'd gained...I felt like the bottom dropped out of me I was so upset.....it took my aunt to "slap" some sense into me....and once I talked to her I was ok.....week 2 I stepped on the scale, I lost I think 10 pounds, then week 3 I'd dropping I think another 8.....so including my pre-op loss I'm at 39 pounds down....

I weigh in for week 4 monday.....

Dont start worrying about weight now....focus on healing....
