slowtogo 301 Posted October 15, 2012 Your body is still swollen and holding on to whatever it can. You probably are still retaining Water as well. Drink your water, eat your Protein and relax. Think of it this way. Have you ever lost 8 lbs in 13 days before? It will come off. It's hard to be patient. Thus my name, slowtogo...lol!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted October 15, 2012 Hang in there... you are only 13 days out. The weight is not all going to come off in a week. Its going to take months of hard work, eating right and following doctor's orders. You have to work with the surgery. You body is still adjusting to the surgery, believe me the pounds will come off, some people lose quicker than others. 1 kristy3k reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking the same thing I had surgery 10/3 lost only 11 pounds but I have found it hard to get the Protein in, so my goal today is to get it in no matter what. I feel really good.

Just Becuse you don't see the weight change on the scale your body is changing you just don't see it yet Becuse you stair at it every day looking for change. You will see the change when you go close shopping. Hang it there it will come off Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
