surgery jan 28

[kamsmom13 30]

I had surgery jan 28 and in one week lost 22lbs last few days have not lost anything. I feel like I can get more down than normal now. Is this normal with only being 10 days out. I need help I can't get all Protein in either.

^{That is an amazing loss for the first 10 days! Some people actually gain weight after surgery (water gain, swelling, etc.) so consider yourself one of the few lucky ones to have such excellent results so far. I am almost 4 months (Feb. 11th) and can say when I think I've lost a lot (say 2 lbs. in a week) - I don't and when I don't think I've lost much - the scale says I have! It's a trip! Don't get hung up on the numbers. I only weigh myself on Friday mornings (the day I came home from surgery was a Friday so I use that day's weight as my "since surgery" weight when calculating my loss). My weight loss is pretty steady at an average of 12 pounds per month since October but I try not to obsess over this or any other number. It's how I feel, my clothes getting bigger every day and the energy to do what I couldn't do before surgery -- too tired (and or busy eating, planning to eat, thinking about what I just ate or watching cooking shows to dream about what I will eat one day..... LOL}

Yes as previous person noted that is good. I had surgery January 28 and I only lost 12 pounds. But im happy I don't want my weight coming off to fast I want steady loss to avoid sagging skin syndrome but I am walking and will do lots of toning exercises. Good luck

Congratulations, I was sleeved on the 28 as well, but I don't go in for my first checkup till tomorrow. I am looking forward to seeing if I did. I know most people don't but I really do feel like I did, and all of my pants have gotten very lose on me since then. Well I hope I am like you, I will definitely be checking in tomorrow after I leave my doctors appointment to let everyone know!

How r you doing getting your Protein in. Im having hard time dont like taste. When did your doc tell you could start soft foods?? Sorry for all the questions. I just went in to my primary care physician yesterday.

I was also sleeved on the 28th. I am down 15 lbs. I had absolutely no appetite at all. I t was really hard getting in the Protein. I barely did. I have just been sipping Water and crushed ice, Jello and a couple little tiny cups of the protein drink...BLAH! But we have to do it. I just went to my 1 week appt with my suregeon ( Dr. Zane) he is awesome! He now changed my menu a bit to mushy foods like mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat, you know baby food consistency. Thank goodness. You will be surprised the amount that you can tolerate. Not much at all. But that's ok. Just tasting something different was fabulous! Keep it up everything you are experiencing is normal. Starting my walking on the treadmill this weekend. Been walking only about 15 mins a day. I need more. Well good luck to all of us!

Thanks for the encouragement. I walked 22 mins today. We have all made the best decision. Prayers for everybody.

Holly5.3 You are too funny!!! Your food comment sounded like the story of my life!!

Hi family!! I was also sleeved on the 28th and to date I'm down 30 pounds from 1/22 to today! I weigh myself every morning and its crazy because I'm between 366 and 369 and I don't know why those same 3 pounds keep coming and going. I'm starting to think that I've lost all I'm ping to lose and that upsets me but I know that can't be possible so I try to let it go. I'm truly thankful for this site and all the words of encouragement. Good luck to each of you!!
