a lousy 4 and a half lbs

[skylily 7]

Hello, I am 12 days post-op (open surgery), and have only lost 2 kilos (4.4 lbs). My metabolism sucks.

Has anyone ever done worse than that?

You're normal. During your hospital stay they probably pumped you full of fluids and junk, I know I came home from the hospital nearly 20 lbs heaver than I left and it took a couple weeks for that to work out of my system.

You'll lose it, don't worry, give your body time to adjust.

I just came home from the hospital and had gained 21lbs in 2 days. I feel like a big juicy swollen grape lol. Just take care and keep on moving.

Thanks ElleG, it's just frustrating. The last couple of days, a little bit has crept back on.

Your still healing and bloated and gassy. Give it time stay off the scale for a few days. Work on sipping and walking the gas out. Trust it, u will loose. Seeing the changes my body is making amazes me. Ur gonna feel this way soon. I'm just 5 months post op.

The scale is a liar these first few weeks. Don't trust it or be discouraged by it. Work on your nutrition goals which are very important for healing.
