You are correct! I’ve started moving on the scale again but not checking everyday (which is a bad habit)!

The same for me! I am nervous! I lost 8 pounds pre surgery and then 12 within the first week or so. I had my surgery Feb. 4th. I haven’t lost a pound since the first post week! ?

Thanks everyone for all the advice! Exactly 2 weeks post op and I feel 10x better than I did! I have moved from the gas to the limo in my throat feeling I keep reading about lol! No longer feeling weak so I’ll take the lump over that feeling any day! I can finally take a big sip of water lol and I’m down 24 lbs!!!

I totally understand. Yesterday was day 5 and I felt good. I woke up this morning feeling terrible. I am so weak today. I am honestly thinking about going to the doc. All I keep thinking is this too shall pass. ?

I had mine on Feb 4th! And like everyone said each experience is different! I came home the same day and only took pain meds for 1 day. (They always make me nauseous). I work from home so I was able to do so. My only issue is I don’t feel like I’m getting enough fluids ( just don’t want any) but I’m adjusting and doing better today! Anddddddd I’m down 18 pounds! You got this! ❤️

Yes! My daughter is a huge snacker (no weight issues) and I didn’t realize how much until me being restricted. I am a bored snacker and love bread sweets but jolly ranchers and almonds were my thing! I miss them so! I have noticed that my gas wasn’t too bad today but I feel weak. I know it’s because I’m not eating but I can’t bring myself to drink some of these shakes.

Yes, I did on February 4th! Best decision I made this far! Prayers for you and let us know how it goes!

I had my surgery on Feb. 4th. The doc did tell me of some gas discomfort but this is crazy! First 2 days I was vomiting (general anesthesia does that to me) but now it is constant gas pains. Does it get any better?!

So sorry to hear about your mother. You’ll be fine. I am 4 days post op and today was the first day I felt a little hungry. I’m not sure about the hair part (mine is already thin) but I’ll keep u posted.
