5 weeks post op and feeling down

[MissB21]

Today is my 5 week post op mark, i weigh in each wednesday. I'm becomming obsessed with the scales at the moment as i really dont feel like im losing much. My first week i lost 7 pounds but since then i have only really lost around 3 pound a week. Including my milk diet (16pound) I have lost 34 pound. I keep seeing others losing loads more and I am left feeling slightly disheartened.
I struggle to drink enough and food choices lately have been hard as i am on the go for work and stuff so i cant plan meals or prepare much as im not home.
I dont know what things to drink now as i have never been a hot drink person, i used to live on diet coke and squash. Since the op my taste has changed slightly and i cant stomach many flavour squashes so i need to find new things to drink....
Can anyone help with suggestions or has anyone felt like its not working properly???:cry::sigh:

Hi MIssB21, your weight loss is just about identical to mine. There are quite a few of us who are loosing at the same rate, or even stalling ..... and all is perfectly normal !!! We just have to stick with it. The benefits of a slower weight loss may result in less loose skin if we are lucky, but not a guarantee. Well done on your loss to date tho, your doing really well.

As for the hot drinks, do you like hot choc? If so Options may be good. milky coffee ?

I hope you perk up soon!

Your weight loss is fine hun, dont worry, and good as if u loose to drastic it will have implications on your skin, try not to worry. I been drinking elderflower cordial, nice and refreshing, watered down orange and apple juice to is nice x
