Get an abdominal band it helps keep everything firm and in place and helps with a lot of the pain

My weight before surgery was 343 and Tuesday I weighed at 314 so a total of 29lbs gone since Dec 16th.. I’m at a weight loss stall for about a week and half now but still staying focused on my goal.

My post op dr moved me to soft foods Jan 7th.. a week early because of my good progress.. so yesterday was my last day and I’m on regular diet now my issues are getting enough Protein in... Water was an issue but I switched to propel water and doing a lot better

Down 65 pounds at 12 weeks post op

It is perfectly normal to be feeling this way, it’s a lifestyle change not just surgery, but I guarantee you that you will feel soo much better once you are able to start going back to normal food in moderations. You have to remind yourself, you are in control of your body and what you put in it, yes it’s gonna be a struggle to get back to a new normal lifestyle for yourself but it’s going to be worth it to feel that much better about yourself, it’s a temporary sacrifice for a new wonderful life!

I had surgery Dec 18th at 10pm so basically on the 19th, I have struggled it hasn’t been a walk in the park but I was at 343 the day after surgery and now I’m at 325 in 9 days.. almost 20lbs. I had to have surgery due to my cancer, my oncologist won’t do my hysterectomy till I lose 80lbs but even through the hard time getting to my goal I have no regrets doing it, don’t think about the negative or scared of the what if’s, because the fact of the matter is there is more positives than negatives and there is more to be scared of not doing it and having other health issues because of the weight than to do it.. I’m here if you need to talk and good luck stay positive

I didn’t start this topic to cause drama or make anyone feel uncomfortable, I am a blunt honest person and as a 32yr old young adult I do have sexual needs as does my fiancé, this thread is to get serious answers from those who have came to this point.. thank you all for your answers and input

I just had my surgery yesterday dec 18th but late like 8pm I guess I get purées for Christmas too? 😌 idk much about it all but in response to your post I feel that all scales are different and show different weight, if you get a smart scale and just have it record your weight u will be able to see the weight loss and that is the main focus don’t be discouraged if your clothes are fitting lose and you are feeling better focus on that. Congrats and Happy Holidays!

I am hungry too I had surgery like 9pm dec 18th so close to you I’m not super hungry but I do get there, I had excruciating pain when I woke up and for the first 6hrs then it subsided little by little I got a abdominal band to help keep everything in place and it’s heaven sent as far as walking I did 2 laps then 4 laps then 6 laps, 6 was a bit much but I’m ambitious so I pushed after lap 5... I’m having pain so no more for today they said 3 laps a day is what u should do

Hello Everyone,
Had my post-op visit (first one) yesterday 9 days post-op. Surgery for RNY was December 10th. I was told I lost on my 14 day liver shrinking diet 10 lbs more pounds but my weight was at 254 today, I was so upset! That is like two pounds more than my last weigh in at the doctor's office! The doctor told me not to be alarmed that I was still swollen from the surgery and my legs were swollen as well and he was not concerned about it! It still bothered me, My scales showed a total of 248 but either way, I got home and programmed my scales to theirs and I have another follow-up appointment for January 8th. My rings are loose as well as my clothing feels looser so I truly believe I am and I say, I am on the losing side but got a bit discouraged when I am doing exactly what they have instructed on the full liquid diet! Merry Christmas to me because on Christmas day, I advance to the pureed stage of my diet! WoooooHoooo! Anyone else have this happen to them post-surgery and if so what was your response as well to the news?
