It took me a long time to lose the Fluid and gas weight from being in the hospital. Never fear... the weight will come off with the calories you are eating! I am 2 1/2 weeks out and have not lost anything for 5 days. I think I am going to quit weighing myself so often so when I do step on the scale it is significant!! I was thinking once a week. I hope I can stick to that! :)

Please don't get discouraged...the weight will drop off. I have been a slow loser, but seriously still faster than anything else I've tried! Stay encouraged!

I lost around 14 pounds at the 1 week mark and hasn't lost since (it will be 2 weeks we'd). I'm not worried about it. Just think of what we did to our bodies. There is no way you won't lose. Just enjoy the experience and know the goal at the end of the day is restriction. Durin that process our bodies need to learn to adjust :)

This has happened to me too. It will be two week stall for me on Thursday. I wil be 3 weeks out. Now I did lose 23 Pds the first week so I was happy about that. But going 14 days with little food and no weight loss feels like before surgery. I pray this will change.

Me too. 3 weeks out yesterday and scale hasn't moved in a week. Kinda sucks but it will move we just have to wait it out. It's impossible NOT to lose when we're eating 700-800 calories!

That is a fear that I have. I am only 1 week post op and have lost 13lbs but I think a lot of that is just no food but hey I'm not complaining. I am just hoping that I continue to lose weight even if its only a couple pounds a week.

Thanks to all....I'm at day 8 with 9 lost by day 6 now nothing for last 2 days. Seems silly to even be concerned after 2 days. It's just the extreme urge to weigh myself like every hour. I agree that has to stop!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
