When Will I Start Losing?

If I was sleeved on Monday, when can I expect to see the scales to go down...it just now went to my pre surgery weight. IV's liquids put on 9 lbs !

You have probably already started to lose weight! The 9lbs is from water retention and your stomach is really swollen. Take it one day at a time and try to weight yourself 1 timer per week. The scale will drive you crazy. ;)

I agree with Debbie about only getting on the scale once per week. But I know I couldn't stay away from the temptation and still to this day get on (almost) every day. :blink:

It is different for everyone, but I think it took me about 4-6 days to lose the 8lbs of IV Fluid weight. I really started to notice .5-1lb drops daily around day 10. Have faith, it will happen for you!!

I asked this same question last week. Everyone was very helpful and it really just takes time for your body to heal. I think its from all the pain and stress from the surgery that I wanted some results right away. I also worried that I was doing something wrong. Don't worry at it :)
