That is only 5 days. You may still be carrying Fluid and/or need to have a BM. Be patient.

I woke up in the recovery room asking, "Am I thin yet?" :P I don't think I started losing weight until the 2nd week post-op - and then only slowly. I still had lots of Fluid in me from surgery. And I was very swollen. You will lose the weight, just hang in there and stick with your program.

Hi DeAnna,

My surgery was Dec16th13.i had lost 15 lbs before surgery then i was 3weeks post op nd lost 18 lbs then the forth week past nd nothing ,i started getting fustrated myself .my Dr. kept saying my body is still healing nd its going to take time. yesterday i weighed myself same exact weight . i got down. then i weighed myself this morning nd i lost 3lbs from yesterday morning . so i was very happy. but this forum will tell us don't go by the weight go by our clothes nd our inches .

did u measure urself before surgery i did. nd I'm getting smaller....even if the scale kept reading different .

I'll say this.... this surgery is teaching patients !

congrats on ur surgery .:)

I love this quote. This is not a race--there is no finish line. This is a never-ending journey. We all move at our own pace, and if you stick with your program, you will lose!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
