I am 9days post-op when will I start losing weight? As a matter of fact seems like the scale has gone up I

Am starting to get discouraged. Help any comments.

You are still bloated from IVs and anethesia and your stomach is still very swollen. Be patient - it will happen!

I was 228 day of surgery and this morning I was 221. But it has gone up to 223 this afternoon.

I know you are going to hate to read this, but you just have be to be patient. The weight WILL come off! Your body just has to adjust to the surgery. You are 9 days out, there are many, many days ahead of you!!

DO NOT WEIGH YOURSELF NOW! ok. Whew.

Everyone does this. They freak out after they weigh themselves a week out. You are swollen, you have had fluids being pumped into you for days. You probably haven't had a bowel movement and feel like crap (some do). Relax.

I didn't weigh until a few weeks out maybe and I only weigh once a week now. It will happen, be patient.

Thanks for the comments,they are really helpful. I will

Work on my patients. And you are right I have not had a bowel

Movement yet.

Yes, patience can help you. Focus on healing, walking, sipping, and getting in some protein. you will get better and the weight is going to just fall right off! No need to obsess on the scale, it won't change anything. So sit back and enjoy the roller coaster ride! You deserve it.

I was 299 when I started the pre-approval 6 months diet. I weighed 229 the day of surgery on June 4th. On June 9th I weighed 235.

It comes off. There's IV fluid weight, there is gas, bloating, and a whole lot of other things going on and a whole lot of swelling. I'm still swollen in my belly and on Monday it will be 4 weeks out.

Give it time, it will come off.
