3 weeks post op and nothing...
Here is the deal...
I had my surgery 3 week ago, and in the first 1 week I lost 17 pounds.
Its been two more weeks and I havent lost pound, and almost feel as if I am gaining weight.
I dont know what else to do, im exercising everyday and eating between 500- 800 calories a day, and no carbs or sugar.
I still have a week til I get my first fill, but im getting really frustrated....
Does anyone have any advice???

There's not much logic to the weight loss that happens after surgery. The most likely reason is that you didn't actually lose 17 lbs of *fat* the first week - you probably lost 10 lbs of fat and 7 or so lbs of water. Since you're getting in your fluids now, you've probably put back that 7 lbs of water and have actually lost more fat in the past two weeks.
You're doing great - how long would have it taken you to lose that weight before surgery? Be patient :)

You might feel like you're gaining weight because you're still bloated and swollen from surgery. It took me about a month to not feel like a marshmellow. I was very swollen and my belly was the worst part.
Be patient, it sounds like you're making the right decisions and they should pay off in good time.
