I had my one week post op appointment today and I am happy to announce I've lost 11 lbs since surgery. The scale in my doctors office tell you how much fat water and muscle you have lost or gained also. 4.5 lbs was fat loss 4.5lbs was water loss and 2 lbs was muscles loss. I'm so happy and proud of myself !

Did I work out the whole first week ? ... I'm one week post op and I haven't lost anything

Way to go my 1 week is today I'm down 11 too

I did alot of walking and I have a little one I chased around too. My doctor cleared me to go back to the gym so I'm excited about that. Don't get discouraged just keep trying. Have you exercised at all? even walking is good excersise it doesn't always have to be hardcore.

Awesome! Lets keep it up! 11 down 89 until my goal !

Congrats! I'm down 10 too. Just had my appr yesterday. 90 to go here too

You go girl !!

95 to go here, I too have walked everyday and have a 1 year old. But I will say I'm counting down till I can have some soft mush! My husband got me a pandora bracelet with my starter charm and then my 2nd one for 10lb weight loss!

that's awesome! and that's a really cute idea with the charm bracelet.

Cant wait to eat soft foods. Had sx on 9/10/12

I love this charm bracelet idea!! I think I'm going to tell my husband... I also had surgery on 9/10/12 and have my first Pre-op this coming Wednesday. I am counting the days until mushy food. I have a very strict post-op liquid diet from NYU so I'm dreaming of Farina right now.

Hi Nicki - I was banded the 13th - but was told by my doctor not to focus in on weightloss on the first week but to focus on healing only . As long as you stick to the diet sheet you should definitely be losing by the second week. I know it's hard when it seems that everyone else is losing .

I had this conversation with my doctor because I realised my post op diet was actually higher in calories than my pre op ! - but it's early days for me x

Don't worry, you are not alone! I lost 17 pre-op, and have not lost a pound post-op yet, and I am 10 days post op! Trying not to focus on weight, and instead to focus on healing, but I have to be honest, it's nice to know I'm not alone! Although I hope we both see some weight come off soon! It certainly is good motivation.
