I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo!

Congrats if u don't mind me asking what was you're weigh in in 3 days 17 pounds go u !! So happy for u I'm going in thurs my doc says do not go on the scale till I go see him in 2 weeks after surgery your body is do full of gas that I gain weigh under surgery .. So I suggest u hold out going on but do excited for u

Wow Burtie! That's craziness. I'm glad to see you're doing well

Well that weight loss includes preop diet. Again im at a different scale then I usually weigh at. I'm just glad to see it go down some. I'm curious what my first post op appt says. Either way the pain is worth it

The best part about the first two weeks is that the weight just melts off! It's enough to keep you going through the 3rd week stall.

Congrats!

I left the hospital 10 lbs heavier than I went in due to Fluid retention. My IV hand was so swollen it looked like a baseball mitt!

Because I am still carrying belly bloat I haven't weighed myself because I don't "feel" like I have lost anything. I am sure I have...how can you not when you don't eat any food...but I will wait till my appt on 4/15 to see.

Congrats to those that are losing! I hope to be a loser soon too! lol
