After surgery? Are you still hungry?
Also, I weighed on my scale and at most, I have lost 2 lbs! HUH? How is that possible? I will be weighted officially at the doctor tomorrow, but I am prepared to be very disappointed.
Advice?
I had my surgery the same day as you, and I actually have the opposite problem. I have to remind myself to eat or I wont....thats not good! I was on clear liquid for a week, now I just got to start full liquids.
What full liquids are you eating? I started with sf pudding, applesauce....thats about it right now, I am trying to take new things slow.
Dont worry about the weight, everyone loses at different speeds, just because some people lose 15lbs and others lose 2, doesnt mean you are not doing something right, maybe they had more to lose than you or....it was water weight....whatever. Just dont worry about all that stuff, make sure your following your drs orders, getting as close to 64 ozs of fluids a day and enough protein at this point.
Good Luck and God Bless!
I get that hungry feeling on occassion then I get myself a pudding or yogurt and I notice I can only eat half of it.I felt my sugeon didn't fix me there for a moment cause I was craving all this food.I haven't gone off my liquid diet and I have another two weeks to go. Don't get discouraged when you go in tomorrow let your doctor know this and maybe you can get onto pureed foods etc sometimes individuals advance faster than others.Smile and keep your chin up.Just so you know thats a lot of water weight IV fluids etc your losing weight dont allow a scale to sadden you or even make you feel like your not doing what your suppose to be doing.
Hopefully we'll have some more concrete feelings of fullness and hunger in a week or two when we are all healed.

Start weight: 335 Current weight: 185 Goal weight: Whatever the hell I can maintain without driving myself insane!
Also, I did lose, but just 4.5 lbs. Better than ZERO that my scale showed. I guess, as always, my weight loss will be slow-slow-slow.
Thanks everyone for your encouragement.
I will add you to my prayers for an easy surgery and quick recovery!
