I'm 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery (6/29), and lost 20 lbs during my 3-week liquid diet (my dr. 's requirement). I started eating approx 7-900 calories beginning on Sun, and I've gained 4.5 lbs!!!! I'm being very careful... but WOW!
I'm hoping some of it's initial water retention... I do have to work on getting up from 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. I'm struggling with the S-L-O-W eating but working on it.
Thanks for posting!

I walk 1 mile in the am and 2.5 in the pm with my two dogs. In the first 4 weeks I lost 23lbs and in the last week in a half I have been playing with the same two lbs...up and down, up and down...it has been driving me nuts...statistic wise I probably burn everything I eat, calorie wise...so...I can't even understand the slow weight loss...I am now talking myself to sleep in a hypnotic way..."it is ok to let go of the fat...it is ok to let go of the fat"....sounds silly....but I'm desperate here...
But it is very comforting to know that others are going through the same thing...thanks again for posting this up!!! Maybe we can do it again next month...or make a June group..lol...
I had my surgery on the 1st and those first 2 weeks were the pits...but I hardly remember them now. Also go to www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com for some recipes for your puree stage.
New Day-
thank you for understanding! Im gonna throw that scale through my window or better yet burn it.
I have had some random emotional outbursts- just one or two...but I always feel like a loon after:) Im gonna chalk it up to funky hormones or something. Plus who doesnt need a cry every now and then. I say let those tears flow.
Ha Ha Ha... I've been thinking the same thing - although I haven't had anywhere NEAR your success!
I imagine our bodies just need some time to rest. Today is the first time I feel STUFFED and I only had 2 oz of deli turkey.. wierd.
It's hard when the scale doesn't move - or worse - goes UP! That has happened a few times this past week.. I was up 3 one day and almost peed my panties.. WTF? @#$@#%
No way is it fat.. gotta be water because I'm only eating <600 cals a day. Still, psychologically it's hard to swallow..
There is comfort in knowing others that had surgery around the same time are experiencing the same issues.. MUST be normal ladies if we all have the same problem.
Anyone else feeling really emotional yet? I've had some unexpected tears lately!
Dr. Benn gave me an incredible tool.. and I intend to make the most out of it!!
