Good morning all. This time last Wednesday I was being prep for sur g ery. So many things were going thru my mind. But thank God I'm here at home 30 lbs lighter(including the 10 day liver reduction diet) and recovering well. Left side still a little uncomfortable but I'm progressing very well. So far I feel like this is the best life changing decision I've made. Congrats to all who decided to join the losers bench.

It will be one week for me tomorrow. I feel like I am healing well. Getting my protein shakes down, still struggling to make 64oz of fluid a day though. I've only lost 2 lbs this week which isn't anywhere near what I thought I would lose the first week. It's disappointing.

I weighed more post op then I did preop and wasn't to my preop weight for about 5 days. That bummed me but I read that it is the air and fluids from surgery.

I lost 2.5# first week when I went to post op. Dr says actually lost about 18# cuz of iv fluids. I am now 2.5 weeks post op and am down about 18#. It will all fall off. Be patient.

jujube and janinemm,

Thanks for the replys! I thought I was going a little crazy here, not seeing the scale budge. Glad to know that I am not the only one this happened too. I guess I just have to be a little more patient.
