I am a week post-op and am losing weight very quickly. Anybody else? The morning of my surgery, I was 317. Four days later when I was discharged, I was 324... still shaking my head about that one. I am down to 305 now. (312 on Saturday, 308 on Sunday). Never thought I'd complain about losing weight. lol :)

Over time, things will even out. The long term weight loss usually looks like a set of stairs going down on a graph. Just enjoy it for now! It's exciting to see it going down so fast for the first 3 months. Then things begin to change.

Enjoy the ride!

Relax, Water weighs in at 8lbs a gallon and they shoved alot of fluids into you in those IV's. You're losing alot of that Fluid now. In fact, treasure the quick losses now, cause it will slow down very soon and you'll be longing for the several pounds a day losses.

Keep focused on the long haul and down the road. In the end it will all balance out and you will reach your goal. ;)

The first couple of weeks you lose weight fast, but as it has already been said, it slows down to a nice, steady rate.

      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!!

      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! 😞
