16 Days post op

Hello
New here, has anyone not lost weight from the Roux-en-y. (16 days out).I feel like a failure. I am on the puree stage following the doctors suggestions I am getting my protein in, 32oz of water, I am working on 62oz. my carb is under 22, and exercising every day. what is wrong with me.
I know stalls are normal but right after surgery.
 
Hello Dianeseattle, I lost 30 before surgery, I am measuring/weighing everything following my doctor and nutritionist diet for surgery. I called my nutritionist when I was 12 days out and he said I am probably losing inch not weight, yes my clothes are a little looser but not alot. I am having BMs every day and feel good but tired.And yes I write everything down and my nutritionist saw it and said I am on track try and drink more water.
 
Well, I can't offer medical advice but since you lost so much weight before surgery, perhaps you ARE on a plateau. I'd see how I felt in a few days and if I came to the conclusion something was wrong, I'd schedule a visit with my surgeon &/or dietician and I would definitely drink twice that much water. You're doing everything else right. Possibly other people here will weigh in who've had similar experiences. Sorry I couldn't help.
Thank you so much
