Not losing weight

[NadiaB.]

So I'm 11 days post op, the first week I dropped 17 lbs, however the last three days my weight has stayed the same..I'm so confused because I'm hardly eating.. I barely have an appetite.. and I'm moving. Shouldn't the calorie defecit alone cause major weight loss.?? Does anyone have any thoughts?

Great advice......i would also recommend not weighing yourself too much.........it's not just about the number on the scale!!

17 lbs in 11 days is HUGE. Don't expect it to go down everyday. Your body has to adjust to the changes. I'm 61 and with dieting so much (until my RNY last September) I don't flinch at an unmoving scale. If you're doing what you're supposed to do, it will surprise you in a day or two with a lower number.

So I've adjusted my eating, I am eating scrambled eggs in the morning, protein for lunch and dinner, lots of water And I went up a pound today...doesn't make any sense....I'm super disappointed...like, why did I even do this...

Ignore the scale! How are your clothes fitting? How is your energy level during the day? These are the non-scale victories that are so much more important than the scale. The weight will fall off if you give it time and stick to the plan.

Nadia, try to step back and look at the big picture. Your first week loss was huge. Your body will follow along as long as you follow your team's directions for you. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. Don't try to cut down on eating what you should. Best wishes.
