Only 2 lbs in a week?

My food intake has gone up to 2-3 T per meal but now it seems my weight lose has decreased. I had been losing 1 lb per day, this week I only lost 2 lbs for the whole week. How depressing.

Your initial losses are fluids: water, fluid in your tissues, IV fluids from the hospital, etc. Initial losses are always fast and peter off quickly. Typically, people who did not lose a lot before surgery lose a ton in the first two week**** a plateau as their bodies adjust in week 3-5, and then begin losing again at a slightly lower rate. Don't panic, it'll happen!

Thanks for the reality check Shari... We get so use to dropping pounds quickly in the beginning that we get all excited when the loss isn't there like it was before. Atleast is wasn't a gain!
