Not losing

[ange1381 2]

I'm feeling really frustrated and down. I had surgery 9/29 was 251. So 11 days ago. I am only down to 242. And no movement on the scale in the last 4 days. I don't get it. I'm getting in all my Protein and fluids. I drink 2 Protein shakes, half a yogurt, and a cup of broth a day. I'm up and moving around. How am I not losing? I am a slow loser when dieting and I'm scared it's going to be the same with the sleeve.

You've lost 9 pounds in 11 days! You are still healing and getting rid of fluids from the surgery. Take a deep breath, keep following your surgeon's guidlines and time frame between the different food phases. It comes off, I promise, some slower than others depending on the amount you have to loose. The best advice I received during the post op healing was to ignore what others have lost and put the scale away for one week. You are doing great, keep up the good work!

Please reassess your expectations. 9 pounds in 11 days is incredible. I lost nothing in the first two weeks - literally nothing, not even a tenth of a pound. Now I'm not quite 4 months out and 63lbs down. Chances are you weighed more coming out of the hospital than when you went in because of all the fluids they pump in your iv. Plus your body is desperately trying to heal from major surgery right now - Let.It.Heal! The weight loss will come. Also, no one loses at a linear rate - you will have stalls and even some days where you gain a pound before another chunk of weight comes off. Trust in the process and follow your plan.

9 pounds in 11 days is wonderful! You still have swelling in your tummy and are still healing. Give it time and you'll feel great.

@@ange1381 Did you read the responses you received? This is NORMAL. Your body takes time to adjust. You're losing at a good rate - stay off the scale and follow the plan.

If you dont stop obsessing for every pound now, you are going to be sorely upset when you go a few weeks and lose nothing. Peaks and valleys for weightloss, never a constant loss.
