It took me around 10 days until the scale started moving due to all of the fluids from the IV's. Hang in there!

I feel like I'm stalking you today! But i have to do something while everyone else is stuffing their faces :) when I got home from the hospital I was up! my stomach was huge! Give it time ! I was sleeved on 11-14 and am only 21 ponds down from then but oh well down is down some of us lose slow. I eat only what I should but its just the way my body works I guess. We just got back from three days at Disneyland and I ate nothing there!! But lost only a pound : / And walked for hours!! I have never seen that many people overweight and riding electric scooters! I know that I will not be one of those people because of this surgery even if it takes awhile

I have no doubt I will be one of those slow losers.... I know I just have to prepare myself for it so that I don't get too discouraged. And hey, 21 pounds is 21 POUNDS GONE. Congratulations!

We should start a VST Page for Slow Losers.... we could whine and moan and then move to encouragement!

I agree with everyone here. It takes some time to get that IV Fluid out of your system. I was up 20 lbs after 1 week in the hospital. I only know this because the discharge nurse weighed me on the way out. Decided not to weigh myself until week 3 and glad I did this because +20 is a bit depressing. Fast forward about 5 months and I am down 130 lb. As everyone says, do not weigh every day. You will be much more relaxed about the process if you hide the scale during the week. Breath, relax, breath, relax...

Lol!! My husband would love if I took my whining and moaning somewhere else!

Just wait until people see you a week or two later and look at you up and down like they were expecting a miracle !! Or the ones who asked every few days "how much have you lost now?"

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
