When does progress start

You've also got lots of swelling right now. It will take several weeks to be totally gone. I went back to work 8 days post-op and my pants were tighter than the day of surgery! Very disappointing, but not unusual. Otherwise, I hope your recovery is going well! -

I was 11lbs heavier after surgery. It's all the fluids from the IV. Give your body time to heal. You're post op so progress starts now! Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app -

*All of the Above* Give yourself at least a month before swelling really goes down. But then, please understand that not everyone loses weight from the same places at the same rate. Typically arms and legs thin out first, the stomach is almost always the last to start to show reduction. Again, everyone is different. Just make sure you are doing everything you are supposed to be doing and you'll be just fine. -

My butt works great. I eat a lot of oatmeal and figs. Not sure that helps, but there's my two cents. LOL:) -

No energy!

Some people heal faster than others. Your body may still be in full-on healing mode and need the extra rest, especially since you don't have a sedentary job. Be kind to yourself and rest if you can. You just had major surgery and your body is having to adapt to not getting enough calories from your food and switching to fat-burning. -

I would talk to your psych doctor about the issue of your meds. (Are you planning to be on these meds long term, is there another med? Could this dose be less at some point down the road etc.) You could definitely lose 100 lbs. with either surgery. And I agree with the other poster about GERD. Many people are getting revisions due to GERD
