Very frustrated!

Hi everyone. I am 3 weeks post op, and I am only down 18 pounds. 15 were from the 1st week! I go back to the doctor in 1 week, and he was expecting me to be down 30 pounds by then...its just not going to happen. I need to know I'm not the only one who's not dropping like I thought I would!

Augh! Me too! Down 18 lbs in the first week, now the scale bounces from 279 to 276 for a week and a half? I'm goin' nuts here too!

Well glad to see that I am not the only one...I am only down 14 pounds! I feel like screaming! You are sooo not the only one...I was just posting about the same thing on the Ontario messageboard. I feel so alone in this....and I don't understand why people who have had surgery a week after me are down like 25 pounds in two weeks. Sigh nobody said it would be easy Sidney

Terri don't be discouraged you are still healing, put less focus on the scale and make sure you are getting in all the protein you need. Without the protein you will not lose weight as quickly. Take your mind off the scale you are going to lose lots of weight they all do and I bet you are no exception. Best of Luck bill p
