Nine Days after Lap Band... where's the weight loss??
I have never "eaten" so little for so long in my entire life!! I'm not even eating for crying out loud, I'm just sipping clear fluids! I have been stuck at 192 lbs. all friggin week!!! How can a human being consume so LITTLE and not lose weight??? I am annoyed and angry. I lost fifteen pounds pre-surgery and thought for SURE I would drop weight like crazy after surgery. NOT SO!!! The day of surgery I was 200 lbs. Five days later I was down to 191. Now I'm at 193, four days later. This stinks. What the heck am I doing wrong??? HELP!!
Nella,
congrats on your surgery! theres a couple things you should keep in mind being only 9 days out. IV fluid!! I went into the hospital at 250 and gained 15lbs, all IV fluid! It was over a week before I was back to my weight I went in at not even losing a pound! Second, you had lap band, I'm sure they explained to you that you wont lose "weight like crazy" like bypass patients will. Lap band patients lose slower, once you start going in for fills you'll be on the losing path in no time! just have patience and soon enough you'll be enjoying the ride!!
