Not losing very fast
Hi Rya, I had my surgery the same date. I have lost only 38 lbs and the last 3 weeks I have lost nothing by looking at the scales. I am losing inches now I work out with weights also and muscle is heavier than fat. I started feeling the same way but my clothes show me different. Hang in there we are in this together.
Rya, I had open RNY on 12/9 and have lost about the same as you, and weighed 300 on the day of surgery. Sometimes I get upset too, when I see that some people have lost as much as we have in just 2 or 3 weeks. So, I understand how you feel. At the same time I am grateful that I have been able to eat most food I have tried. Some meats bother me but I have only once. A lot of people are still on liquids, soft or purees or just starting regular foods at this stage. I am basically recovering very well, feel good, and have more energy than I have had in years. Other than what we are interpreting as a slow loss how are you feeling? Are you eating? I would love to hear how it is going for you overall.
