New here with some questions please... I'm really angry.

So I went back to work 3 days ago. Pretty tired by the end of my shifts but doable. It's taken some strategies to pack for dinner and shakes etc. I am officially 2 weeks post-op. Woke up this morning and I am UP! 2 pounds! Seriously WTF? I had RNY and I am 1 month out from starting the Optifast to 2 weeks post-op and I have only lost about 17 pounds! I don't feel constipated but the last BM was 5 days ago. What am I doing wrong? Am I being impatient? I see so many people saying the weight literally falls off of them but I am not seeing it. Is it possible that I have advanced my diet too quickly? I had a really bad time finding a Protein Powder that didn't make me feel sick. I am now using unflavoured in a combo of milk and yogurt. I am also eating canned tuna in Water about 1.5oz with 1/4 cup cottage cheese. I can also eat chicken (same amount as fish) I'm not struggling with hunger at all. Any suggestions? I'm so angry I could scream! Thanks Chris

I think it is an impatience issue. Yea the weight does fall off for periods but it stalls too. You also had a lower starting weight too so17 pounds in a month is darn good.

Put the scale away and focus on nutrition and moving. The weight will come off, I promise.

I'm about 6 1/2 weeks out and though I initially lost as I had expected, 30 pounds in 5 weeks. I have stalled for the last 1 1/2 - 2 weeks even though I am following the plan to the T. It's so frustrating, but eventually the weight will start moving again, it has to. I think the biggest struggle for me is to keep the faith and stick to the plan even though I am not seeing results as fast as I would like. I think you've been given some really great advice and it's helped me too. Just know you are not alone.

Stay focus on one day at a time, and ensuring your getting in your Protein Water and exercise don't be do hard on yourself your body has to adjust to the major surgury you just had .
