In my experience, it took a good three weeks before I started seeing any meaningful changes. I was so swollen from IV fluids post-surgery that it took a while to shed all of that excess water weight. Give yourself a bit of healing time, and in the meantime, try to drink as much as you can to help the water shedding process along. I promise, you'll see results.

Yeah, at first it felt like I was able to have more liquid than I expected. I guess because it goes down/through easier. The first 3 weeks were weird, no appetite/interest in food, no real energy. Expect to stall a little bit, too. It happens as your body plays catch-up. It does get better, but do not rush it. I had the RNY, due to pre-surgery reflux issues.

Like Rob said trust the process, it's there and when it makes itself knows you will be like oh hey there you are now go back into hiding! LOL! And remember we are all unique individuals - try not to compare, as hard as it is And being down 13.5 is awesome in two weeks - that's my average weight loss per month! (says the girl who tells you not to compare - ha ha ha!)

Lornajune - I hear ya, when I experienced my first stall I was so frustrated! But then I realized after the third one this is the way it was going to be - my cycle is real, I loose for five to eight days and then nothing for anywhere from two to four weeks. I am not telling you this to say you are going to be the same or to discourage you - I just want to give you a real life example. We are all different, my weight comes off in steps like a stair case - my fiance' loses everyday for the most part - but at the end of the month we both have lost we both feel great we both have awesome NSV's to report and share we are here for you, getting used to the new you and the new body things is tough at first - I'm still getting used to it all four months out but it's an awesome journey
