How much did you lose on post-op diets?

Just curious if anyone loses during this phase before switching to solids.

I lost 8 lbs in the 2 weeks post op during my liquid stage. Then it has slowed to another 2 lbs the next two weeks. I won't get my first full for two more weeks and I'm hungry!!

Oh I had also lost 6 lbs pre op. :)

Right after surgery I did gain 6 lbs back due to whatever they pumped me with. My 8 lbs noted above are from morning of surgery itself and not the gain immediately post surgery, if that makes sense.

I lost 7 pounds preop. Then I lost 10 pounds for a week and half post op. Then it really slowed down for a bit. I came to realize though, that I was building up toward my period. Once I had my period, I started losing again. I will say though, that I have really been watching what I eat and I started walking on the treadmill.

from surgery 284lbs to my first post op check up which was 2 weeks i lost 22 lbs. i know this because i keep a journal. i recommend a journel of some type. right now it really helps to keep track of my medical problems so i don't have to remember when i am talking to the doctor.

I lost 20 on the pre-op....

Post op I lost 8 the first two weeks and then 10 over the next month.

Everyones pre and post op are going to be different.....I had 2 week liquid pre-op then 2 week liquid post op then 2 weeks mushies and then onto solids...

Hoping you are not doing any comparing with all these #'s...everyone loses at different rates!

So far I am super excited about my losses...just taking it one day at a time! :)

I lost 8-10 lbs pre-op. I'm now one month and a week post surgery. I've lost a total of 30lbs from October 2013-now. I dropped weight fast from the day of surgery until about 3-4 weeks. Now that I'm eating more type of foods, I'm averaging 1-3 lbs a week or so.

Not comparing at all. Just curious

I lost 7 # pre-op on the 10 day liquid diet, then I lost another 15 # the next 2 -3 weeks post-op, then nothing since, it will be a month post op on Sunday the 19th, kinda getting discouraged but I have noticed that I have lost quite a few inches too! I also keep a journal of my weight and measurements ! I have to keep track of this oh so important journey that I am on!

I am one week and two days post op and as of this morning have lost 15.5 pounds post op. I'll take it. I have to do full liquids the rest of this week and then mushies for three more weeks before seeing my doc.

I lost 8 lbs in 3 1/2 weeks of my post op surgery.
