14 Days Post Op

[Torra135 4]

Hello All,

Well had my surgery July 30th and all is well so far, surgery weight was 231 and for 14 days im down 13lbs I can also see

my pants size is down a tad. I really was hoping for a little more but I guess I need to give it more time.

Anyone else looking at the same results or better ??

When does the weight relly start falling off.

This is so dependent on you, and your level of activity and commitment to the change. I have lost 25 lbs since the start of this process (starting the program) and lost almost 8 pounds right after the surgery (not eating and clears will do that to you) Men lose weight quicker then women so hang in there it will come off.

I guess Im a little excited to show off the new me.

Thanks

I actually gained weight after surgery! I was 244 the day I walked into outpatient...the next day I weighted myself that evening at home and I had gained 14 pounds!! They totally overdid it on the IV I think. I was also severely constipated. I am now on day 13 and lost that 14 pounds as well as an addition 6 so I am satisfied. I was hoping for more too but I know its still a long road to recovery...not just for weight lose but for making the big mental change...behavioral and mental. I have to learn to like myself again..its been so long that it seems like an impossibility but I refuse to give up on me. Don't stop believin...and yes, I am a Journey fan too!!

When talking to my 14yo about my upcoming surgery he said "so will you come home from the hospital skinny?" One could only hope hehe. At last we all must travel the road of less fat and more exercise to achieve our dreams. It's coming.... As quickly or slowly as our road travels.

I was sleeved on 8/5 and have since lost 24 lbs. (Including pre-op diet). My bp has decreased too and I feel better. I'm noticing it in my face and the way my clothes fit and my hubby says my butt looks better lol. I'm trying to walk everday for 20 minutes or at least 10. Good luck to everyone!

Hi everyone- It's a bit early, but I was Sleeved on 8/7, and I'm 16.6lbs weight lost since surgery. I'm pretty much pain free and I haven't taken pain meds since 3rd day post-op. Walking 40 min a day and steam room twice a day.

I was sleeved on July 19th and so far my scale can't decide whether I've lost 12 or 15 pounds. Keeps going back and forth. At first I was mad that I haven't had the crazy loss like some people. (30 pounds 2 weeks) but I've come to terms with it. It will start moving again once my body is ready. I eat my Protein and get almost the amount of Water I'm supposed to. I've just decided to not worry about what other people are losing and focus in me. My clothes and shoes are getting bigger so I KNOW I'm doing something right.

I got sleeved 7/31 and have lost 11 pounds so far, I can tell I lost inches and my face is starting to show, I don't like to compare my self to faster losers because the it makes u feel like your sleeve doesn't work and everyone's works differently. I also started at 204 so it's slower when you weight less
