Have you started losing any weight or am I just overly anxious, surgery... 12/26. I am now at "DOS - day of surgery" weight, as it took a while for the fluids to get out...

I weighed myself for the first time yesterday and I was 1lb over day of surgery weight... I think I have gotten out most of the gas so hopefully the scale should start heading south.

Thanks for the info - glad to know that I am not alone...

Today I plan on weighing myself when I go to the gym. I won't buy a home scale because I don't want to be a slave to it. I need to take my measurements to see if anything has changed since my DOS

Bought a homes ale and will weigh in when I wake up!

I'm in the hospital for dehydration and blood clots. Please pray for me.

Sleeved 12/28 - BMI 30 .... I am doing everything as instructed. I feel great, nothing makes me queasy ... But my weight has basically stayed the same since I got home a week+ ago. I am ingesting 60 grams of protein/ 650-700 calories / walked 3 miles yesterday. But no change on scale.

I am starting to panic that this is not going to work for me for. It has to work.... right?

ugh

I feel the same way!!!!!!!!!!! surg 12/26 , BMI was 33... I've lost 3 lbs!!!!!!!!!! WTH, my recommended intake from the RD at my surgeon (US surgeon) was 90g Protein, under 450 calories... and I have followed that to a T, and walking 2.4 miles daily... call in with the RD today to go into soft food phase... will see what she says, and report back... I have that same feeling, am I the one person this won't work for, really? Also let me say my ticker is wrong... I have not lost 12 lbs... 3 to be exact, starrted at 178, went up 10 post op due to fluids, got back to 178 about a week ago, since then 3 lbs lost... 174.6 on the scale today...

Girl take care of yourself. There should be no gym only a week out of surgery. This is crazy to do to yourself. U just had major surgery!!
