5 Days Post-Op, 1 Lb A Day?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Nov 26. I am only losing 1 lb a day. Is this normal? I keep reading other people are 10 days and 22 lbs down post op etc. Please help! Thanks!

Relax! 1lb a day!!! That's phenomenal! That's 7lbs in a week! You absolutely cannot compare yourself to others. We all lose at different rates depending on so many things. 1lb a day is great and you should be happy. However, don't freak out if it slows down in the next week or so. You will lose, some are just slower than others!

Easier said than done, but please try not to compare yourself to others. Are you sure the 22lbs does not include their pre-op loses? Have you read all the threads about people gaining weight or only losing a pound or two a week for the first few weeks after surgery? You are normal and so is your weight loss.

I had surgery Nov 28 and I had lost 15 lbs pre-op. Weighed myself today and I gained 5 lbs during the surgery. This is very depressing to me. My diabetes did not go away, gained back some of the pre-op weight. Please explain why this happened.

My suggestion is to not weigh yourself until you get to the 2 week mark. After surgery you have lots of gas and swelling, so there is really no way to know exactly where you until some of has had the opportunity to leave. It may take several weeks for your diabetes to even itself out, your just had your surgery I think the focus should be on healing and staying hydrated. Trust me the weight comes off, we all have our different rates of weight loss.

OAN: By the time you get to month 3, it seems that everyone has a significant loss! Something to look forward to. (Smile)

The surgery is not a magical, overnight, solution. It takes time!! My doctor always said to me, "you did not get your health issues, and your weight problem overnight. It took time. So it will take time to resolve itself. But, it will resolve itself. Just give it time."

In a couple of month, when you are down, 50lbs, then it will be magical. lol

I didn't lose any weight the first week, so I'd say you're doing pretty good!

      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.
