I am 1 week post op. Had surgery last wednesday.

Starting weight when i started process for surgery was 340.

Right before i had to do preop liquid diet I was 334. In those 2 days I lost 10 lbs (324lbs) Water weight of course.

I gained some back after surgery from swelling and the gas.

Before I left the hospital they weighed me in at 328 that was Saturday.

So in the last 4 days Ive lost 16lbs. Im happy but is this normal or wayyy too much?? I have my appointment with surgeon tomorrow but I just wanted some opinions.

Hw:360

Sw:340

Cw:312 (havnt been this low 300s in over 2 years!)

It's normal right after surgery because the first month you will lose the most. When I went for my two weeks ck up I had lose twelve. The dr said most lost twenty in the first month. Enjoy, because there will be stalls! Congrats! On joining the losers bench!

I agree with slimagain. I know of people losing 40 in the first month and your story is not uncommon. Just keep following your physician's instructions and reporting back to him/her about your progress.

Best of luck with your sleeve.

Agree with normal but know that the loss may slow down or plateau periodically during your journey which can be fruststrating for many.

Just stick with your program during those times and you will see the scale move again :)

      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!
