I am three weeks post-op. I lost 18 my first week and ZERO in week 2 and 3. I'm so frustrated and trying to trust the body knows what it's doing. I track my food, water, etc. The only thing I haven't started yet is an exercise plan. I've decided to do weight checks on a monthly basis so I don't get disappointed if I don't lose one week.

@ Trista and Nikki I hear ya. Nikki your body is probably just freaking out because you did just lose 85% of your stomach ... and that’s a great idea about monthly checks I wish I could do that. I’m not doing it every day but the thought of not checking more than once in a month and then not really lose and then feel regret I didn’t know sooner so I could adjust my plan would drive me nuts. That said that scale can make or break my spirit

You are an inspiration, thanks for sharing your story. Congratulations, your hard work has paid off!!

Hi everyone!

I had my RXY on December 20, 2019. I am doing well 7 days post-op. Just wanted to check in on everyone else to see how you’re all doing??

I had my RNY on 12/12. I've been absolutely fine -- 100% -- since around the 25th. I'm down 17 lbs. in 21 days now.

I wish I could actually enjoy the protein shakes, they’re so sweet to me. I bought premier and then a six star protein powder. Think I’ll go ahead and buy some unflavored powder to add to foods.

I’ve been craving a salad too!! Can’t wait until I can have one. See I have 1 more week of full liquids before I start purées. It’s crazy how every dr has different plans to follow post op!

I got VSG on 12/17, so not two weeks just yet. I have had little to no problems. Sent home from the hospital a day early due to no need for pain meds and I was walking a ton. I did have two days at home where all I did was sleep on and off all day. By 12/23 I felt back to normal and was able to sleep and walk a few miles each day. I know I am lucky after reading through other's posts.
My concern is what to eat. My doctor's office told me anything soft enough to cut with the side of a fork. I am vegetarian so meat is out. I am craving salads but they said not until month 2 at the earliest. Currently I am getting about 500 cal per day due to the protein shakes. Only a few bites of homemade runny refried beans and ricotta bake.
Just cleaned out my closet for the second time. I lost 50 lbs prior to surgery and got rid of many clothes but more needed to go. I have also pulled out the sewing machine to help get a little life out of some of my shirts and skirts.
