Please any advice would be great

Hi all, I had my surgery almost a month ago I lost 4 kilos in the first week, since I haven't lost a single kilo, what's going on, I feel like I've made the wrong decision

everything you are going through is something we all have gone through, just look in some of the older posts here and you will find a wealth of information. Regret and stalls all come with the territory so to speak.

Ok thank you, I'm just so confused as to how you can hardly be eating a thing and not losing any weight, most people say they lost the most in the first month

It's helpful to look at what happened before surgery to give an idea of what you can expect afterwards.

Before I dig into that, how are you doing meeting your Fluid and Protein goals?

So, about how calories were you eating before starting any of your preop diets? What kind of preop diet(s) did you do and how much did you lose?

I'm doing everything as the surgeon and dietician reccomends, I'm not getting as much Water as I should, sometimes eating less calories than I should per day, I lost 5.5 kilos on my 10 days pre diet

Ok, so I converted kilos to pounds for us in the States. You lost 21lbs in the 17 days between the preop diet and the first week postop. That is definitely significant! I find when people drop so much, so quickly, they usually get a nice long stall on the back end of it while their bodies catch up. 3 weeks sounds about right, so as soon as you can increase your Water you should start seeing that scale move again.

Don't fret, you're doing great!!

Today I got on scales and have lost 1/2 kilo, I had just had 600 mls of Water and haven't been to toilet in a couple of days so fingers crossed the weightloss is starting again 🤞🏼

Rach, just stay on the plan from your surgeon. I am experiencing a stall as well 7 weeks post op. I have read from posts here and I hear it is normal after such a huge initial weight loss like berry said. I have lost a total of 30pounds between pre op and now. I keep reassuring myself that I would not have lost that much weight without the surgery. I am also hoping that the scales start moving for me too.
