Normal??

So I am 3 weeks out.. Had complications the first week, but everything is back on track.. Lost 30 pounds the first week due to the complications, but gained back 4 pounds when I could finally keep fluids down.. I finally lost those 4 pounds when I was weighed at the Doctor's today.. So 30 pounds lost in 3 weeks since the surgery.. 

I feel as though loosing 4 pounds in a week being just out of surgery in less then a month is way to slow and not enough.. I feel so out of sorts.. I am so tired of pureed foods.. Hell I am tired of food in general.. I feel depressed.. Has anyone been through this, and is being depressed so soon, normal?

Depression is not uncommon after WLS.  Are you seeing a therapist?

30 lbs lost in just three weeks is exceptionally rapid weight loss, faster than average, I think.

I was.. Probably should go back.. *Sighs*

I think thirty pounds in three weeks is great. I have lost 33 in 5 weeks. 

That is awesome! Thank you for the kind words of encouragement!

Ok my walking buddy... In the 3 weeks since surgery, I am down 17 pounds.  Does that help for frame of reference?

Thank you Sweetie for putting that into perspective! :) I guess I might have some unrealistic goals and am being to hard on myself.. LOL I question myself all the time..

Awesome Job as Well!

I didnt envy your complications when we connected last week, but i was jealous of your weight loss.  First week was practically break even - I list the fluid i gained in the hospital. Last two weeks have def picked up!  Are you able to get much walking in these days (are you feeling well enough)?

Oh please don't be jealous.. The Doctors were not pleased I lost that amount in such a short time.. They said it was not healthy what-so-ever.. Even though I had no control over it, it did make me feel guilty.. And I guess I got into the mindset that maybe not 30 pounds, but over 10 might have been normal in a week (don't know why I thought that  ) I have been increasing my walking. It is not up to what I would like, but it is better then what it was when I was in the Hospital the second time.. They actually did not even make me get up and walk the second time.. I think it was because I was so weak.. But hopefully by the end of this month I will be on more of a schedule and have a set distance to walk everyday.. How about you?
