I'm so confused! Don't laugh but I honestly think the doc may have removed some other part of my body. I started feeling back to normal the day after getting home from the hospital And had no problems drinking. I have even felt hungry and wanted food. I saw my doc 7 days post and he said the stitches were healing fine and 2 weeks post op I could start on mashed potatoes etc...

Now the problem is that I have only lost 10lbs since pre op diet which I started 6 days prior.

Is that too little?

I feel considering I'm barely eating anything, I should be losing more.

Plus all the weighing scales are giving me different numbers.

Are you drinking your water? Water helps. You should be getting your protein first. Good luck to you!

I am 5 dayspost op. Lost 5 lbs. hungry? Yes. Eating nothing.I lose very slow

Do you have a low BMI

Yes my BmI was low. I need to lose 70 lbs. Lots of health issues and lots of meds. Still on Diabetes meds but less. Insulin at night only which is an improvment

I,m 10 days post-op and have lost 11 lbs. thats 1 pound a day I could deal with that.I cant explain like I have seen but heres my way lol our bodies have been to hell and back on the way back trying to do all this it needs energy the body is in starvation mode without enough food so it takes fat uses alot of water so it has to store this water till it gets enough to turn the fat into energy now ready to burn fat as energy ,dose not need extra water to make energy right now so it dumps extra water out of us,and we lose weight due to these things, the scale goes down,now body has use up the energy it made the body gathers water again to turn fat into energy weight up cuz saving up water to makefat into energy hard to think and type on pain pills, but thats why our weight gose up then down lol I thinkI got lost some where,Debi

I have been having liquids. Juices, soups, water & protein shake. I don't get why the weight isn't going down. When does the weight starting going down after surgery?
