I was 274 going into surgery on 7/29 and now I am 7 days post op and weigh in at 258. Is this the normal rate? Still not getting my full Protein in but I do have an appetite. I am on full liquids/stage 1 baby foods. Anyone else experience a loss like that or is it because it is the first week?

I lost 14 pounds week 1. It slowed by half the following week, and continued to slow thereafter. It is normal due to the loss of body Fluid and possible dehydration. Your body will adjust soon. Congrats and good luck!

Thanks! I hope I am getting in enough liquids. I don't feel dehydrated.

32 oz minimum to avoid dehydration, 64 oz is optimal...

I'm sure you are doing fine!

I had my surgery on 7/10/2013 and lost about 27 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks!!!! I was really scared as well but it was Water weight. Once i started eating more and taking my Vitamins I gained some back and my Dr said it was totally normal!! Total I've lost 20lbs in a little over 3 weeks!! I'll take that any day of the week!

Hi there, losing the weight sure is great, kinda nervous as well but staying positive and trying to eat enough Protein to maintain the weightloss, look for protein to weight calculator. I've lost over 70 lbs since April 15th, I'm at my goal weight. Good luck

I came home 20lbs lighter.

I got to my goal of 110lbs lost I'm about 6 months. Take advantage of those golden and precious losing months!!! Before your metabolism catches onto your lower intake. You will struggle to lose every pound after that. Be happy for the loss!!! <3

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
