how long has it taken you guys to loose weight?

I'm out 3.5 weeks and im down about 20 lbs but thats only about 12 lbs after surgery...

I was loosing so much on the liquid diet and it slowed so much once I moved to mushies...9lbs on liquid and only 3 on mushies so far

did anyone else have that problem?

There is a reason for this. When you first had surgery and were burning fat there is a step that happens before you burn fat. The first thing to go is the glycogen in your muscle. For each gram of glycogen that you burn you lose 4 grams of Water. Most of the weight loss immediately after surgery is Water, 80% as a matter of fact. After you deplete your glycogen stores you start burning actual fat and no water so the scale starts to slow down.

It's all normal and it is working just as it is supposed to. Consider any weight loss between surgery and your restriction a bonus since that time frame isn't designed for weight loss but healing instead.
