poor post-op weight loss

After losing 20 lbs pre-op and 20 more from 4/17/07 date of sx.-gastric bypass, to 5/2 /07 I have only lost 4 lbs since then. thats 27 days!  i am so discouraged that even though i am following all the rules to the letter i am losing so badly. any advice or suggestions as to why this is happening? i did speak to the nutritionist and she said to keep at it another week. help!

 You are doing good...Don't forget that everyone is different and everyone has different weight loss so keep-up what you are doing ..you will see progress good luck-moji

My surgeon said if that were to happen, such slow weight loss (especially so soon after surgery) we should give him a call. The problem could be something surgical. I would call your surgeon, at least that way they can check things out for you and then possibly rule that out as a possibility.

Eat! make sure you are eating, I notice I lose more weight a week when I get in atleast 675 calories per day ..i know it can be difficult to get in all those calories (well for me it is) but try your best and give it time

I am having the same issue :(  I had surgery on 4/24...I have lost 30lbs total and no scale movement in 2 weeks!  I am trying to not weigh except once a week but I am getting frustrated.  Part of me is afraid this is not going to work for me...I guess I am just used to failing at weight loss.  I know it probably will pass and I keep focusing on getting my protein in each day (heard not getting it can slow progress).  I also am having a hard time exercising...I feel really weak still but try to get my walk in each day.  I just hope the scale moves next week...I feel like I am back at good old WW begging for a half pound loss!! I had Julie Kim too....do you have Gloria as your Nut?  Are you going to any of the support groups?  I haven't been yet but thought maybe I should to keep myself mentally in the game. Hang in there!!! Jane

janemarie, dont worry.  after 3 weeks of no wt. loss i have lost 10 lbs. in 8 days.  i have accepted that im not an everyday loser and i just concentrate on getting my protein and water in and i try not to weigh too often.  kerry is my nut. and i start my post op group 6/5 at 11 am.  i hope you see some progress soon and meanwhile isnt it just great to not be hungry or crave food         we are in this for the long haul so think positive.
