When did you guys start to see the number on the scale go down? During the liquid diet (post), After starting puréed, or after you were back to eating normal foods, just less????

@@Seagull - Yes. Lost a bunch pre-op (you quit drinking alcohol and work to shrink your liver, good things will happen). I actually gained 10 at the hospital thanks to all the IV Fluid they pumped in me. But after 10 days of healing, everything started "moving" inside again, the weight really came off fast.

I weighed the same on day 11 as surgery day. Didn't weigh again until 6 weeks out, just starting soft foods and I was down 17 pounds. Your journey will be a lot less stressful if you don't worry about the scale for the first couple months.

I lost about 15 preop diet (and I cheated 3x cause I have no self control) and then between 10 and 14 since this last Monday. I'm now 6 days out, starving, I think and all I have is this incision pain right now. Hopefully all the walking I'm doing get things movin soon!

I lost 14lbs on the 2 week pre-op.

That's when my losing really started. I only lost 5 lbs in the 6 months prior.

Then in the almost 6 months since I've lost at a steady pace with some stalls.

I lost about 7 pounds preop and had the surgery this past Tuesday. I am trying not to get on the scale because it changes a lot throughout the day. I haven't had too many calories so I know the pounds will drop eventually.

I lost 16 lbs. In the preop diet. Came home and weighed on day 3 and was up .8 lbs. Day 4 was down 2.2 lbs. from surgery day. Buuuuuut, I have had liquid bowel movements (I know, gross) since day 2, several times a day, as I did through the preop diet. So the Fluid from surgery is moving out quickly, so I'm lucky???

I'm not saying I'm trying to rush anything, i was curious if the body switches to fat burning mode at a specific point, that's all

We're all impatient. We've had to jump through all sorts of hoops to get this done. But it only cost me co-pays and my time, but in the end it will all be worth it.

Today, 8 days after, I am starting to want some real food, but I got 3 weeks to go :(

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
