One week post op and not so sure

[sdarst52 3]

I am 4 weeks post surgery and feel exactly as you all do. I have been jumping on the scale daily and very frustrated at the number. I am on soft foods now and do experience the hunger you all speak of. I was naïve post surgery in that I thought a week later, I would be back to myself. The poster who reminds us that this was MAJOR surgery is right on. We wouldn't expect to feel normal after a C-section or appendectomy. The body needs time to heal. My biggest fear is what if this doesn't work either! Going through this process and then finding out I can never weigh less than I do now is a irrational fear, but one that I do have! Open to comments!

And thanks to all of you for your wisdom and insight. It is appreciated.
