10 day post-op: how much have you lost?

[TvlGrl712 113]

Including my 1 week pre-op liquid diet, I've only lost 13 lbs. I just thought it would be more. I know Im not getting in enough liquids, but that seems to be getting easier every day. Just wondering what others are seeing who have sleeved around the same time (8/13)?

13 pounds. That's amazing. Fluids are strange because we are so used to drinking as much as we want. Now sipping. Just keep it up.

I would suggest not comparing yourself to others on this front. 13 lbs is 13 lbs so congratulations!

13 pounds is good, that's 1.3 pounds a day!!! I'm 16 days out and have only lost 7!!! However, I've lost inches and my clothes are too big now, and my stomach is much smaller than two weeks ago! Everyone is different and your body is still recouping. You're on the right track!

I had surgery on 8/14, I was 302 day of surgery. At my 1 wk follow up on 8/22, I was 288. I lost 14pounds in a week. That's pretty darn awesome in my book. Have you lost 13 pounds in 10 days before?

pre op I lost 32 lbs on my own and I have lost abound 20 lbs with my sleeve in about 3 weeks exactly from my surgery date.

I was sleeved 8/14, and I lost 14 during my pre-op and I've lost 17 since surgery.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I know everyone is different, I just expected more I guess, but it seems Im pretty much in line with what others are seeing. Good luck to us all!!
