My surgery was July 14 and I've lost 15lbs post op and 10 pounds pre op...so 25 all together yet I still can't wear my clothes that button and zip... I'm stuck wearing yoga pants and jammie pants. How long until I can wear real clothes?! Lol

I retained 25 pounds post op. From 198 to 223. It took a week after beinf discharged from the hospital for that to come off. I had one day I dpent in the bathroom peeing. I was in the hospital for 5 days due to complications. Went back in after 13 days again for complications and only retained 5 pounds of Water.

Hang in there and be near a bathroom soon.

Losing 15lbs since July 14 is amazing! Good job! But we have to be patient - depending on your shape (I'm an "apple"), we lose pounds and inches in different ways. I'm still wearing women's sizes although I've lost over 70 lbs - other people my weight are wearing size 12 already - we all vary a lot. You're doing great - and whether it's bloating or your new shape coming to be, just keep on trucking' Good luck!

I certainly came home with more weight than I brought with me to the hospital. To the tune of ten pounds. I lost the weight in three days or so and now I have lost 19 pounds since coming home a week ago.

Now the gas from the surgery is what was really bad. I STILL have some of that! Not as much as I did, but I still do.

You have already done a great job losing 25 lbs and I am sure with time you will do better and better.You will have to be a little more patient regarding getting into your favorite clothes but very soon you will be able to do that too.So Good luck and take care and soon you will be in great shape.
