No weightloss yet

OK so I had surgery Thursday February 13 and I haven't lost any weight yet. I've actually gained 2lbs. Since surgery day. Is this normal?

Swelling and edema and fluids from operation. You probably won't see scale move for at least a week... I didn't. I was sleeved Feb 4 and so was another girl I knew. Neither one of us lost weight first week and a half. It will come off don't you worry. How are you tolerating your diet? You on full liquids now?

I had mine on the 12th. I am refusing to weigh myself until my 2week post op. My hands are so swollen I don't think weighing myself would do me any good. Just keep your chin up so to speak . From everything I've been reading what we are going through is perfectly normal at this point.

Ok I thought I was doing something wrong. Yes I'm on clear liquids and have been tolerating them just fine thank goodness. I haven't had an issue keeping my liquids or vitamins down. I'm going to stop weighing myself because I'm getting obsessive.

im 9 months out and only loss 68 pounds im very discouraged

68 pounds is awesome! That's a great accomplishment you should be proud of yourself!

I had my gastric sleeve on Feb 3.... They took my band out the same time.I have only lost 10 pounds and that was the first week.I have no problems getting all my liquids in or vitamins.I here so many people say 2 tsp of yogart and they are full.

I was sleeved last Wed-the 12th. I am down 15 since then. Are you taking walks at all? That's what I've been doing to get things moving.

Wow! Yea I've been walking and sticking to my full liquids. I def feel swollen still and TMI constipated. I was discharged Saturday morning and immediately weighed myself and was up 2 lbs from thurs. Today it weighed myself and was down the 2 lbs hopefully it continues to go down. The only good thing is that my blood sugar has been going down.

How long of walks? Outside?around the house?

I've had to do it all inside since we've had over 2 ft of snow since I was sleeved. I've been walking around the house-stairs around the living areas. Yesterday was the first day driving. I was walking around the whole time at my daughters soccer tournament. Little steps add up. I've got a phone app that will automatically track how much I walk as long as it's in my pocket too.
