Fist Time On The Scale Post-Op

Down 9 lbs. Wow - that's only from 4 days. I wonder how much the removed part of my stomach weighed.

      Congrats! The portion of stomach they removed doesn't weight to much. The 9 lbs u lost is mostly all the IV fluids they pumped you full of. Lol. Wish you the best. ! •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery

      The human stomach weighs around 2 pounds. They generally remove 85% of the stomach, right? That would mean they remove 1.7 pounds of stomach and it would now weigh .3 pounds (or 4.8 ounces).

    My surgeon said it's so little compared to how much we lose from doing the surgery. Best wishes and congrats!

    OK - I woke up this morning and was down another 3 lbs. This is feeling a bit like magic. I'm sure I'll hit a stall like everyone else.
