3 weeks post op and haven't lost any more weight.. :(



Recommended Posts

Thursday will be week 3 for me. At surgery I weighed in at 271... When I went in for my one week post op, I had dropped to 257... I just bought a scale and I am still at 257 lbs. ... This means I haven't lost or gained anything in 2 weeks... This was just a depressing moment :( sorry for the rant but I really needed to scream at this one...

My doctors scale is always different than mine. Don't be discouraged, go weigh in at the doctors office, or use yours as a starting point today and check again n a week :-). Good luck!

Like Sarah said all scales are different... On my scale im always 2 pounds lighter than on my mom's scale and teh doctor's scale always shows a 5 pound difference,

You may also be losing inches, are you measuring? Your body needs time to adjust to teh changes it going through.

My recommendation is wait another week if you still see no change go to your NUT and see if they can adjust your diet a little.

I keep stalling out whenever I don't eat enough.

I only lost 2 pounds from my week two check up until the day before my one month check up. I went 13 days going up and down over those two pounds while exercising and eating 200-300 calories a day.

The day after my appointment, I started losing again. Those 13 days sucked donkey arse, but the scale did start moving again, thankfully!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
