Am I understanding right that you gain weight right after surgery?

You gain Fluid weight from all the IV fluids...will scare the hell out of you on a scale but resolves over 5-7 days....it is not true body fat.....doctors really shoulders us of that!!!! (And maybe poo if you get backed up!!!)

HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 226.6

Hi are you ok. We're you nervous about the surgery to cancel it. Im sorry that happened.

Thanks for asking. I did get scared but I didn't cancel. Doc wants me to come on in two weeks and talk to him about my hernia repair while he's in there.

Really don't think it's fair that I have to go tomorrow to DMV to replace my license because it expires the day of surgery. Why couldn't it expire next year after the weight loss. Can't have that picture hanging around for the next 10 years. May have to loose my license next year:)

I was just wondering on average how long it took everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

3 days

Sorry I didn't check in with everyone yesterday. I had a rough day. I am feeling so much better tonight and I am so proud to be on the losers bench. Swallow test was good and hopefully I will be heading home tomorrow. I pray that all of you are recovering nicely.

Wow!!.. Awesome.. I keep thinking I'm going through this and I'll be the one person who doesn't lose weight.

Aww don't say that! If you follow the diet of not eating there is no way you can't lose weight!! Sending you positive thoughts!

When was your surgery

*Surgery Scheduled 3/21/13*

It was Tuesday the 19th. I was so uncomfortable and couldn't keep my eyes open. Today I am so much better.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
