15 days post op and still no weight lost. I go to the gym and work out everyday and I follow the menu plan as best as I can. Should I be concern because I'm feeling like a failure already :(

Don't even worry!!! You are swollen and stitched and all that. My weight loss didn't pick up until I started solids about 4 weeks post op. You are doing just fine...take it easy, continue to follow your doctors rules and the weight loss will come in time. You need to heal.

The first 4-6 weeks post surgery are for healing, not losing. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

If you really want to lose even during the healing phase, start counting calories and keeping your food to a cup or less per meal.

Best wishes.

You are working out already? Wow...good for you... My dr wouldn't let me do exercise for a month.

That said... Are you on solid foods yet? If so are you tracking your calories? Even tho this is a time for healing we still need to be aware of what we eat and drink.

Have you gained anything?

I was on liquid foods from the 8-16th. After that i was put on soft foods but what's the difference between soft and regular diets lol? The sample menus I was given pretty much are the same in my opinion. As far as my exercises im just walking for now... they want me to do 30 minutes but I go for a hour. I feel good and people tell me Im losing but the scale say something totally different

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
