I've heard its completely normal but I can't help for feeling down. I'm a week and 4 days post op been doing everything the same as the first week and I've actually gained 3 pounds when my first week I lost 20. Can't help but think I'm gonna fail or the surgery isn't gonna work for me . I know its probably to early to get upset but I can't help it. :( just wanted to vent thanks!

Your body is still adjusting and trying to shed all the IV Fluid they pumped into you. No worries, stick to the plan and it will happen...

I am going through the same thing. I am 12 days out. I know I have to be losing weight because i'm not eating that much, but the scales are hanging on to that weight. i know I am holding Fluid. I have faith it will start happening soon. Just wanted to encourage you because I have had all the same thoughts you've had. Good Luck!

I'm glad to read this. Hopefully I'll stay focused when it happens to me. My surgery isn't until next month.

I got over my funk lol this surgery is def a " life" changing journey in soooo many ways! I can't lie or sugar coat anything there has been several times I thought I screwed up my life by having this surgery but I just stayed positive and the goods def out weigh the bads. I'm still battling getting all my liquids in and Protein and I'm 17 days out I think lol but everyday gets a little better. :)

I just had surgery March 25. I hurt badly and haven't really lost weight yet. Right now I'm just concentrating on healing from this major surgery, and getting my fluids and Protein. I'm on vacation ;-)

That's what you should do concentrate on getting better :) the surgery will handle the weight loss! I will say the Fluid intake gets so much better I'm 19 days out now and I still have bad days but I'm able to get a lot more Water down. I'm down 27 lbs :)

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

      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! 😞
