I'm three days post-op, just for home from the hospital and I'm down 11 pounds? How can this be? I just made it to "Onederland"! I feel like my eyes are deceiving me. Maybe the part of stomach they took out weighed 11 pounds? Lol! I won't be getting on the scale for two weeks just in case it's a fluke...

Starting Weight: 219

Surgery Weight: 208 (April 15, 2014)

Current Weight: 197

I lost 15 pounds after surgery. Not a fluke. Keep in mind you had 2 days where you didn't eat or drink anything and weeks ahead of time where you were on a liquid diet. Plus, your body takes a couple of days to show the pounds lost. So, part of that 11 may have truly been lost before your surgery but didn't show up on the scale until after it. There are a bunch of enviornmental factors too that may be playing a part. Your scale also might not be callibrated like the hospital's scale. Either way, WELCOME TO ONEDERLAND!!! Regardless of what happens, you'll never be 219 pounds again. Keep focused on that.

i lost 15 as well, then 5 the week after and now it's 2-3 / week.

Keep smiling

I lost 17 my first week. I'm guessing it's true.
