I’m 3 weeks and 1 day out and i have lost 21 pounds since surgery day

I just had my 3 month appt. My start weight was 203 my surgery 7-8-19 was 193 I am currently 169. I was concerned I didn’t lose enough but he said I am right on track and it has a lot of factors. The start amount has a lot to do with how quickly the weight comes off. My surgeon asked me if I would have done this again.., absolutely! I finally feel normal and not hungry all the time. I have more energy, sleep less and went down sizes. Such a big difference. Can’t wait till more comes off!

I hope so

I felt the same way at first. It got so bad that I would leave my house and get myself stuck in traffic so that I wouldn't be able to eat😄 It'll end don't worry 😄

Your definitely not alone. Im 2 weeks post op and Im starving! I started myself on soft foods! It helped only a little. I have horrible cravings ALL the time! I do hope it get better!

I had my surgery on October 2nd and as of today I'm down 19lbs.... I'm having a lot of trouble getting in protien and anything flavored. All that I have been able to handle for the past 3 days has been Water.< br>

I’m just like you. I’m 3 weeks out and hungry all the time. I feel like I need real food, not Soups and purées. Yet anything I eat, I can only get a few bites down before I’m full then I’m hungry again an hour later. And I’m craving things too. I thought I wouldn’t have to battle these daemons after the surgery, yet I still want to eat. Good thing I can’t.
I’ve kind of moved passed the puréed foods an on to soft foods because I feel like I need solids. I’m a bit lost as to what to eat. I’m having things like soft scrambled eggs and cottage cheese. And lots of soups.
Im only down 10 lbs since my surgery so that has me a little concerned too. However I’m averaging 600 calories a day. Doc says that’s about right for this time after surgery.
Anyway, you’re not alone I too expected to have no appetite at this time, and more weight loss too.

It’s normal. It gets better as your diet progresses out to real food. Hang in there.

Today I have my GI xray and my lab work including stool test for h pylori. I've already had initial with surgeon and my nutritionist visits are all set up. I'm pretty excited. Over the next 4 months I have appts lined up. I will keep you guys posted
