Hey guys,

I am feeling a little better. I am 7 days Post-Op now.

I am losing 1 pound a day. It's been like this for 5 days now. Is this common?

To me it's kind of scary...I am so use to seeing the scales go up and up--never down and down---

Thanks,

Pam

That early out, it's very common... enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause unfortunately it doesn't!

ok Stacy

Thank you so much---

Pam

I am 20 days out and I have been lossing a pound a day also so I think it seems normal GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

hey pam, i got sleeved the same day as you, and i am down 8 lbs, so it must be pretty much the norm. how are u doing otherwise, do u have a drain, follow up with the doc yet, what are you eating if anything LOL, i see the doc on wed and will have the drain removed then.... thanks vicki

Hi Vicki,

I never had a drain put in. I am still eating stage 2 foods...Solid liquids still...

I am up to 150 cals a day and 18 oz of Water.

I went in at 214 lbs and I am now 202. That is 12 pounds in 7 days that I lost.

I will see my surgeon on Dec 9th. Maybe because I don't have the drain is why the appointment is so far away.

Also Vicki, I had a hernia to boot. I am so lucky...So maybe thats another reason why I'm still not eating or drinking much. 2 surgeries for my dollar...

And how are you doing?

please let me know...

Thanks,

pam

I had my surgery done on November 1st and as of today am down 15 pounds....It is a little scary but I do believe normal

I couldn't believe how I dropped 15 lbs in the first week or so. It has slowed down a bit, but at 7 weeks out today, I am down 33 lbs.

It's not scary its exciting! I lost 53 lbs in 7 weeks when i first had my surgery. . now in 10 1/2 months i've lost 140 lbs! not too shabby! good luck

AMEN TO THAT!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I was sleeved on Nov 3rd and have lost almost 23 pounds in a week!!!! Im like FLABBERGASTED about that! I dont think thats normal! Even though I did have to go back in the hopsital for 2 extra days because of puking and pain. 23 pounds!!!! WHAT THA??? I see my Dr on the 15th and Im going to double check on his scales. Even though I weighed everyone in my family on mine to make sure they were right. and they seem to be. I too am wondering what the norm is........

It'll settle down, maybe even stall... but don't worry - I also found it strange to see the scales going down... still do in fact! My weight loss has now evened out and I'm shifting about 1lb a week.... which as I'm only 18lbs off my surgeons target of 147lbs I'm quite happy with.

The target I chose for myself is 140lbs..... so we'll see what happens with that one.
