5 days pre-op weight loss

[ddsweighin228 28]

So I got on the scale this morning , I started my pre-op diet on Monday and have only lost 6lbs,felt bad cause I thought for sure it would be more, but then I remembered I fell off the wagon on Tuesday so I guess it is not too bad...

I think 6 pounds is pretty good! I just started today and am currently drinking my first Protein Drink. Optifast is the only thing my doc allows...and this stuff is NASTY!

you should know and will learn, and please understand a loss (any) no matter how small or big.....counts

please give yourself a break and not go into this with expectations you feel are needed as if you dont meet those, you may hinder your excellent progress...judge your true/accurate loss by clothes getting smaller, better fitness as inches lost means you are losing weight...

hang in there

sounds to me as if you are doing just fine

ps get rid of the only lost this bs.....you need to talk nicer to YOU

I agree. If you already feel disappointed you will be more so after surgery because you can not bank on steady weight loss every single month. It doesn't happen for most people. A loss is a loss no matter how you lose it. Get positive there will be many moments of disappointment with weight loss surgery. You have to learn to deal with it.
