2 Weeks Post Op Weightloss



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Im 2 weeks post op. the first week I dropped 10 pounds. But I haven't lost a single pound since then! I know 10 is a lot for one week, but it's so frustrating to not be losing anymore at all!

Has anyone else gone through the same thing? I had the band with plication. And I know my doctor doesn't like to do fills very often when he does plication.

I'm just nervous that the band won't work for me!

Girl you are only two weeks out and you have lost 10 pounds. That is great! I think it is a little early to be freaking out it won't work for you. You still haven't gotten any fills. You have a while before you feel restriction and can work your band. Take it one day at a time. Focus on healing right now. Hang in there.

Congrats! I am 10 days post op and I know how you feel...But it will take time and stay on your plan and exercise... Remember the band is a tool not a cure. You will do great!

You are still early in the game.. PLEASE don't worry !!!

You are still in the healing stages.

Take it one day at a time.

Also a lot of people lose inches faster with the band than pounds.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

it will work for you... try not to stress... perhaps a lot of your weight loss initially was Fluid. that happens most times. i lost nearly 14 pounds Fluid the first week. Give you body time to heal and start to lose at a healthy rate. You dr does know whats best for you. the main thing is.... be positive about the outcomes.... good luck

You are still very early on in your journey.

Some people do no lose until their first fill. PLEASE do not worry !!!

Yes the band will work for you !!!

If you follow the guidelines given to you by you doctor... follow the menu plans, ask lots questions, keep a food journal and work with the band you will have success.

I think it's really important to get support from other bandsters.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or if you would like to chat on the phone.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement! I'm in a new city for an internship so I'm finally getting in the groove of a routine and I've joined a gym for the month in here. I'm excited to start working out again! Hopefully the weight will start to come off then!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
