Please tell me this happened to someone else. :-s
Ok im four weeks post op today. In the first two weeks i lost 35 lbs. Wonderful i know heres the problem. Once i started eating i havent lost a thing in fact im two lbs heavier. Im thinking maybe muscle building back up because of all the walking. Ive also had bathroom issues but all is better there now. I do measure once a week and continue to lose inches. Im watching and measuring what i eat so i dont think thats it. Just wondered if anyone else hit a plateau this early on?
And yes i do get in all my water!

Yes this is so normal. My doctor told me it can happen with every 10-20 pounds you lose. Your body is still losing... I put the old scales up. That is not what counts. What counts is those inches...... I have lost 5 inches off my waste. I see a curve in there. Havent seen one of those in awhile. I do the measuring tape more than the scale. Your doing great. Some people are way behind us on weight. I am 3 weeks I have lost 28. Some people only lose that in 2 months. So we are doing great. Keep walking. I am up to 1-1/2 miles. Boy it is hard. But I force myself. I know this is going to make my heart strong. My family says they dont hear me snore in the mornings, So I think My sleep apnea may be going away. God I hope so. Do you ever go to your surgery date board. You can compare your weight loss with others. You will find you are doing great.

Thanks everyone. I saw my doc this am he said i was doing super. I did get yelled at for weighing too much lol not like i thought but because he wanted me to get rid of scales. He said dont be surprised if you stay at the same weight for a couple of more weeks then boom 20 lbs will drop. He said all the exercise and all i was doing was building muscle. My labs were all very good so im eating right and he said my food diary looked good. So Yahoo!!!
