How Much Did U Lose First Week?



Recommended Posts

Am I the only person that is stepping on the scale every day since surgery? I know each scale is different. Week before surgery I weighed in at 323 at the surgeons office stepped on today I'm at 305.

I'm sure many do weigh themselves regularly right after surgery, however considering you just had surgery 7 days ago I'd advise against it.

The first 4-6 weeks after surgery are for healing, not losing. Many don't lose at all during this time, some even gain a little. If I were you, I'd put the scale away for at least the next month and focus on healing.

I'm not "trying to lose" just sipping. the liquid diet is obviously what is doing it. im losing 2-3 pounds a day. Isnt that too much?

I think 30lbs is insanely awesome. U have to remember your body is in panic mode to hold on to anything.. Breathe because this diet will work for u the way its supposed to

Congrats on your lost. Have u had a fill yet?

Until I have first fill and on full diet thats when I will feel like I'm losing weight. That I'm in control of it. Like now me losing weight is because I'm taking in few cals because of being on liquid diet.< /p>

Dr. Almanza said some people never need a fill. I was hoping I might be one.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
