Hi everyone,  It has been two weeks since my surgery and I have only lost ten pounds.  Is this average?  I am disappointed I really thought the weight would just be falling off the first three weeks after surgery.  Anyone else have a slow weight loss after surgery?

thanks guys!!!

10lbs is nothing to sneeze at. You can also probably expect a small stall 2-3 wks after surgery (at least it seems fvery common among many). Even early out 5lbs a week is a very good pace. No worries! Your body is dealing with a lot and has to adapt.
