How long after VSG before the scale moved?

[Disabledaccount 154]

Guess I was one of those folks that thought the pounds would just fall off but it has been almost 2 weeks and haven't seen much of a difference on the scales. I gained 8 pounds after surgery obviously from the IV and it took a week before I returned to my presurgery weight, it's almost 2 weeks now so wondering when I'll start shedding the weight. Particularly starting at such a high weight, I thought I'd be a couple of pounds down by now. How long before your weight started coming off?

It's funny if this was me dieting pre-VSG, this would be the point were I'd go eff it and go get some pizza. Thankfully can't do that anymore so just gonna keep keepin' on.

I had weight come off at 10 days post op, then stalled a week and a 1/2 later. That lasted a good 2 weeks (maybe lost 1lb.) Im now 7 weeks out and lost 2 lbs. since yesterday. This weight loss happens like a staircase. You will drop, then flatten out, then drop, then flatten out. Be patient, stick to your surgeon/nut advice and walk walk walk.

Hope this helps

How that's very sporadic. How much have you lost so far if you don't mind me asking.

I've lost 34lbs. in 7 weeks and 12lbs. Pre surgery. I wish it was a little faster, but I had some issues with getting Protein and fluids in..That will also hamper weight loss.

Sounds just like me...totally flat lined on the scale. Then at about a week I had about three mornings of loss equalling about 7 lbs. Now.. nothing! I hope I lose a few more before I go back to work on Tuesday. I just started with purees yesterday and an getting even less calories than before! I figure its bound to happen sometime

I am almost 5 weeks out. I lost 26 lbs post op and 16 lbs pre op on the liquid diet. Started 250. I am having a lot of issues with my Water and Protein still due to health issues post op. Hoping everything relaxes some and I start losing more. I am losing like 1-2 lbs every few days the last week or so.

I lost 13 lbs in the first two weeks, then pretty much nothing the next two weeks. Started at 242.9 morning of surgery then stopped at 230-230.8. This morning I finally dropped to 229.8. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday because it's just frustrating. I am ok with being a slow loser but it's hard to lose 13 pounds in two weeks and then nothing in the next two.
