SoccerMomma73 1,867 Posted September 11, 2013 Okay so step back and look at what you wrote....your surgery was less than a month ago and you've lost 14 pounds. You're losing 1/2 a pound a day. That's 1750 calories worth of fat that you are burning off your body daily. You are doing fabulously! Try to stop fretting about the number on the scale, do what your doctor says, and enjoy the ride! You'll get there! 4 kloveburd, blueeyezz85, kparadisek and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gives my body some time to adjust and hopefully not end up like a flung squirrel. I want to lose the weight but I'm enjoying every pound gone. I've only went down 26 pounds but I'm thankful for that and every other pound that takes a hike! I'd rather be a slow loser and not be able to jump out of a plane and not need a parachute lol 1 jennifer b reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IrishSparkle14 4 Posted September 11, 2013 I start my weight loss count from the day I started the liquid diet, not surgery day (August 6th) - Down 52lbs. total. Crazy part is I keep looking at the scale (mine & the doctors) & then looking at my body & the numbers don't seem to make sense. I can tell in my face & in my pants, but otherwise I don't feel like I've lost over 50 lbs. already. Going by the measurements instead.... I think I'm just loosing it all over, maybe that's why it doesn't show a huge loss in my stomache! Anyone else feeling like that? 2 kloveburd and cynthia f reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloreorbust 286 Posted September 11, 2013 I'm down 17lbs since the day of surgery 8/26, but I also gained 21lbs in the hospital. Down almost 50lbs since I started this journey and I am just starting to see the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TX Patty 12 Posted September 11, 2013 Surgery was on 8/14, 4 weeks today and down 36lbs. But it has to be because I can't seem to transition to solids yet. I'm drinking my Protein and finding many ways of getting in my fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
