Too early to start worrying! I do sympathize - I felt the same - lost almost not weight on the pre-surgery fasting - was discouraged arriving there and talking to other patients scheduled for surgery same day that they literally lost 3 times what I had even BEFOREHAND. After it took me close to a month, then I started losing steadily. To date, still around 45 lbs from goal but down 97 - had my surgery June/2019. Feel like a new woman! Energy levels are up, WAY WAY more active, and feel SO much better. Hang in and give yourself time!

I am only 4 days post op but I have only lost one pound. I haven't ate anything off of my program. Just wondering if this is going to work for me?

Totally normal after any surgery. Your body has been under assault and it is freaking out. That, plus IV fluids and everything else. Relax and drink as much as you can and get your protein fluids in to help with healing. It took me about two weeks to start losing weight. It will happen.
