Does this sound normal?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery last Tuesday (July 27th) and am on a liquid diet for two weeks and then I can start mushy foods next Tuesday. I dropped 10lbs during my pre-op diet (it was a 2 week Optifast diet) and this week I have dropped 4lbs. I have about 70lbs to lose. Does this sound like enough weight to drop on your first week post-op? Total down so far is 14lbs. I am not very hungry at all and have been feeling great. I am still very sore on my left side where my port is but am hoping that will go away within the next week.

I had my surgery last Thursday, 2 days after you. I was also on 2 weeks of the Optifast diet. I lost 13 pounds pre-op, and since the op have lost another 4 pounds (same as you). This might sound weird, but the day after surgery I weighed 2 kgs (4 pounds) more than I had the day before.. maybe because of the liquids etc. So I'm not actually sure how acurate my weight loss measuring is! I think what it's important is that the trend is going down. As long as it's coming off, that's what matters :thumbup:

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
