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 :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
