one week post op. lost only 4.6 lbs

How can it be. I went Monday for my one week post op visit to get my staples out. I only lost 4.6 lbs. from before surgery. Did this happen to anyone else? I promise I am doing everything I am told.

Hi Jacqui, Congrats on having your surgery. I went to look at my profile because I knew I didn't loose what you did...I only lost 3 lbs. the first week. Hang in there you will be very surprised how all those little losses add up.

Don't fret. Average weight loss is 2 lbs a week in the entire process. Remember, you are holding fluids from the surgery etc. Protein, water, walking. Stay away from carbs for 6 months etc. Just don't give up, and keep to the program. You will be victorious! my profile may have some helpful information for you in the process! Welcome to the losers bench! blessings, Tami

Don't worry. Having the surgery more than likely put weight on you. Don't forget they pump you full of fluids. You are doing fine. Red
