I got my surgery on Wednesday March 6, i know from being in the hospital and being pumped up with fluids you leave the hospital 10 lbs heavier. But my question is? When do you start losing weight?

So far I have not gone below my preop weight and I have also not had a bm yet. I hope these two have something in common. Glad there are others with the same surgery date. The left side of my bellybutton seems tight like its my stomach and it always feels full. I am getting concerned. Took miralax and stool softener this morning and nothing so far. Don't think it's a blockage because I have occasional gas.

Have you tried watered down juice? I know I went 4-5 days, but it happened. I felt much better! Good luck and hopefully it happens for you soon.

Did they say why it hasn't seemed to work for u before now/.......bcause that's very interesting

I was thinking the same thing

Good news, last night everything happened for me! I was feeling. discouraged. Took a nice warm shower, and had action after the shower. Hope everyone remembers to share this tip...can't go? Take a warm shower and try to relax

I purposely did not weigh myself until my first check-up as my nutritionist said it would fluctuate in the first two weeks and she did not want me to be discouraged. I did this and lost 23 pounds by two weeks out (9 lbs before surgery)

I lost 15 lbs by my first post op appointment, but I only gained 3-4 lbs from the liquids. It depends how much you gain from that because you'll lose the liquids first before any actual weight.
