ALL scales are different. Plus you have to account for your clothing. My doctors scales are set 2lbs heavier then the average 3lbs for clothing. So that in it's self it 5lbs!! I weigh myself at home once a week "usually in the nude" That's the weight I go by.. Don't beat yourself up over something that could be out of your control. Weight will come off and when it starts you will forget all about the 2lbs the first week..

hi everyone! just wanted to share what happend to me today.

i had an appt monday to get my stitches out but over the last 2 days i developed a SEVERE itchy rash all over my stomach. i couldnt handle it one more second, so i called to see if i could get in today. i was in luck and got in. i had my stitches removed and all the old glue from the tape removed from my skin. the doctor also told me to use hydrocortizone. i am finally getting some relief from the intense itching and the best part is when the nurse weighed me today i was down 5 pounds since tuesday! thats 5 pounds in 3 days!!! the scale finally moved :)

WOO HOO!!!!!!

I lost 10 lbs preop with a 7 day liquid diet. I weighed 212 when I went into the hospital. When I cam I weighed 224. I was only in the hospital ONE day. This was all from the IV fluids. It will come off. I lost a lot the first 2 months but now I have really slowed down and it is 1 to maybe 2 pounds per week. I was hoping for more weekly but I will be patient. Hang in there.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
