I'm only 3 weeks post op and for the last 3 days I haven't lost anything. I'm so frustrated.

I identify with you 100%! I was DEVASTATED when I gained weight at my 1-week follow-up appointment; I was crying! I go in tomorrow for my 1-mo follow-up and hope I at least lost "something". I too thought everyone lost the most weight in the first 2 months . . . if that is the case, I'm in big trouble. But everyone assures me it will happen.

I did stop weighing myself everyday and am just trying to check the scale once a week. I also have been told once you are able to exercise it will improve.

Just know you aren't alone. For the past 2 weeks all I can do is ask myself why I did this!! But my sister did it last spring and it took her about 2 months to really notice a significant loss; everyone's body is different.

Hang in there - you are not alone!
