Question:
I am three weeks post op and I have only lost 13 pounds!

I was 276 at my first consult and got down to 255 before lap RNY after 2 weeks I lost 13 pounds but have lost nothing since. I am getting so frustrated. Could I already be at a plateau? I eat three very small meals of protien and I am getting enough water. What is the problem with me? I'm afraid this insn't working.    — kelly M. (posted on October 27, 2002)

Take a deep breath Kelly, this will work for you, it is much easier to be successful with this surgery , than fail. Your body is just doing a little adjusting, you will see the pounds coming off again soon. I do not think there has been one person that has had the surgery that has not thought they would be the only one that it would not work for. I promise it will start coming off again, stick with your program and you will be fine. Congratulations on the 13 pounds that are gone

Don't be so down on yourself, that's what I lost the first 2.5 weeks after surgery and now I am 8 months post-op at goal and wearing size 3/4s I started at 270 pounds right about where you started and I am now 126 pounds,that's -144 pounds and 95 inches, keep your chin up, it will start melting off and you'll wonder where it went so quick!!!
