4th week post op have not lost weight sense week one.

I feel ya. I had the same experience. At my two week check up post op I talked to the surgeon and NUT about this. They both said not to worry. (yea.. right) they said they don't even count the first month for weight-loss and that is due to adjusting and the fact in the hospital most times they pump you with so much Fluid that you actually gain weight. They said think of how much each of those bags of fluid weigh. Plus your body may be in starvation mode. I think that happened to me. I am 6 wks post op and only lost 18 lbs. I follow the program and get my Water and Protein, I been more active, I dont eat more than 1/2 c, average 1/4 c I dont drink after meals. I been primarily eating chicken, fish, Greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, single servings cheese slices 0.5 oz each. some cooked veggies. 1-2 tbs with 2-4 oz meat is a typical meal.

They said I am doing everything right. I did how ever prior to surgery lost 65 lbs on my own. so my starting surgery weight was 218. Which they all say is not that big. Therefore will loose slower, I also was wondering if PCOS is an issue. I was taking metformin and was told to stop it before surgery. May be slowing things down.

Just think long term, over the next year you will loose weight pretty regularly. you may be on a stall, or hit a weight memory point where your body remember being that weight and wants to hold on to it. Or not eating enough, sounds crazy right? I am almost feeling like I failed @ 6wks, but have to remind my self to give my body time to adjust and try not to compare my loss with others. which is almost the hardest thing to do.
