Hi I am 5 weeks post op today July/26/2016..My weight was 370 when I started. My surgery was June 21st. I went for my 2 week post op on July 5th. I had lost 20lbs then. Now I am down to 335. SO I lost about 35lbs so far. I guess it just depends on the person and what your eating. I can now eat about 1 cup and a half of food. My stomach is still not use to certain foods and it will let me know by me throwing up alot. So I just tend to stick with foods that my stomach actually likes. So far no problems. There are good days and some bad, but like the doctors say your stomach is like a babies new tummy, it will take time and losing weight will take time as well. BUt you will eventually lose the weight fast.

Actually it's not...I eat this amount spread out for the entire day. I know I only eat a half cup. If I don't I throw up..my doctor already knows this. I'm actually doing really well.

You've said that you throw up? How often? I'm in my 5th post-op week and I've never thrown up, even on full food. Well, there was one incident where I chugged a glass of Water without thinking, but.... ;-)

I only throw up if my stomach can't handle certain foods..it's not all the time..it's because of the acid I guess in foods. My doctor just says take your prilosec and stick to foods that are neutral nothing to acidity.

Omg I've just posted the same thing. I too have noticed that I'm losing more inches then pounds. I think it's because I haven't hit the gym yet. I'm going t inquire with my surgeon and see if this is normal as well. Let me know if you get an answer.

      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!!
