Wondering WHY I did it!

Hello all:

I underwent gastric sleeve surgery on February 26, 2020 so I'm just about 4.5 weeks out. I'm following diet rules to the letter and ingesting at least 60 ounces of Fluid daily. I have lost 13 pounds in the 4.5 weeks. I read about others who have lost 24 or so in the same time period. I don't know what earthly good going through holy hell with the surgery did. I asked my surgeon if she was successful in removing most of my stomach and she said she was certain that she did. I average about 600 - 700 calories daily. The only positive thing I can think of about the surgery is that I cannot eat TOO much. I did that once and I suffered. Still wondering why. It was terribly painful, and I had a lot of nausea. Don't know if it was worth it.

Stick with the plan, it will definitely be worth it! I was thinking the same this week and I'm 4wks out of MGB today.

I had a stall this week and gained 1lb but woke up this morning to a 1.5lb loss.

I'm definitely not drinking enough Water, I just can't fit it in!

I found this video which helped me realise I'm not doing anything wrong and it's perfectly normal to stall or lose slowly, especially if you lost a lot before surgery (i lost 100lbs prior to my MGB)

I have wanted to eat everything in sight, mainly out of boredom being in lockdown for 12wks! Maybe it's worth speaking to a therapist? The mind plays a huge part in satiety. You might be dealing with head hunger? I'm speaking to a therapist 21st April

I did therapy for food addiction last year and it absolutely changed my life ❤️
