Not Losing Weight After Surgery

[ruthygoicochea 4]

Hey everyone!! I had the surgery almost 3 weeks ago, and I have only lost 10 pounds. I can't hardly eat anything, I am drinking my Water, and I am also taking my Protein and my Vitamins. I also walk for 40 minutes EVERY day, but I still don't see results. Am I doing something wrong? Other than that I fell great, I have lots of energy and I can pretty much do any activity I want. However I am scared that I will not loose the weight. Is this common?

Man just the part abt feeling so good...lots of energy...can do anything....go with that as a success!! The weight...from what I hv read about.... Will come off! Goooood for you!!! You are an encouragement to me... And I am sure many others!! Sometimes I seem to just read the negatives...which we need to know abt too... But really nice to hear a great positive! Thanks!

I just had the surgery a couple of months ago and went through the same thing at about 3 weeks and I totally panicked. . I was told it is completely normal. And then one day my body decided to catch up. Currently down almost sixty lbs total. Hang tight- it gets better.

Don't worry it will come off just keep doing what your doing. I am not quite three weeks post and down six lbs. i have noticed that i am losing inches. I know its fustrating to see other folks that at this point have lost 20 to 25 lbs. just remember we are all different and each experience will be different. This is why i am not discourage. Much continued success to you!!

Thanks everyone for the support!! I really needed to read stuff like this. My sister had the surgery about six months ago, and she already lost about 80 pounds, so on top of everything I have all my family asking me why am I not loosing the same way she did? And really all I can say to them is that everybody is different! I only wish I knew the answer to that :-) but thanks to you guys I will stay positive and I will definitely keep you posted when those horrible pounds start to come off!!
