Veterans When Did You First Notice Weight Loss Or A Change On Scale



Recommended Posts

Surgery date was 2/29. Today aside from a little cold I'm actually feeling a little better. Not myself still a little sore but I am holding down liquids and warm broth has become my best friend. I can't seem to get enough of it.

My body is enjoying the rest. I can't remember the last time I've been forced to be still and not take care of everyone else. I made the mistake of getting on the scale yesterday and yikes I gained 10 pounds. I know so much of it is Water weight especially since it TOM.

With my time off I've been loving this site. It's helped me so much prior to surgery and honestly I feel so prepared for what's next. Not to mention the before and after pictures. So my question is when did you notice the scale moving?

welcome to the loser's side. i had my sleeve in august 2011 and was sore under my right ribs for about four or five weeks... i could stand OK, could lay down but it hurt to sit or bend over and tie my shoes. it will get better.

i was a slow loser right from the start... until i started exercising and i didn't start that every day with commitment until december. now i am down 62 pounds at six months plus one week.

I came out of the surgery 10 pounds up. I started losing shortly after that. Drinking lots of Water helped to get things going.

After being hospitalized and on iv for 3 days, I weighed myself for the first time 1 week after surgery, was down a pound or two. Weighed the next day and was down 6 extra pounds of iv weight.

The scale moved quickly wit a 12 lb drop then nothing for three weeks. Afterwards it declined at a steady clip. As far in the mirror, I didn't really notice the weightloss though until about three months out.

I didn't weigh myself until 10 days after surgery because I knew I was full of IV fluids. 10 days post-op I was down 5 lbs and by the end of the first month I was down 17. Be patient!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
