When does the weight loss start?

Just wondering if anyone knows when to expect to see some weight loss post sleeve surgery? I know that sounds like a silly question considering we can barely eat anything at all, but I am almost 2 weeks post op and am only down 2 lbs. Is that normal? Has anyone else experienced this? Most posts I have seen are showing people lost between 20-30 lbs in their first month.

I experienced that very thing . . . fluids from surgery, I would imagine. Plus, it took my body a while to get used to the "shock" of surgery and drastically reduced calories. Even now, 2 months out, my weight loss is slow and steady . . . and that is just fine by me (I was sleeved on 8/13 and have lost 51 lbs. total). Everyone is different! Hang in there, it will happen.

I'm 12 days post op. Lost 8 lbs the first few days after surgery and then nothing since. Then yesterday I actually gained 2 lbs. I don't understand! I think my body is in shock. I decided to stop weighing myself. I'm on only liquids. My clothes are loose as I lost 18 lbs the two weeks pre op. I go to the dr on Tuesday so I guess I will see then but I am very frustrated right now.

@@AlanaRN, I hear you on the frustration. I only weighed the one time and was pretty bummed to only see the 2 lb loss so I threw the scale aside and said screw that thing! lol I am going to try and only weigh once a week or every 2 weeks maybe.

im 6 days post op and waiting until my dr apt next Thursday to weigh myself.i do try on several sets of pants a day tho!!!lol!!im not able to button anything because im still so swollen from the gases.i had my gall bladder remove also so maybe I got more gas then usual!!but legs and butt area feel a little looser!hoping mynext week I can button something up!
