Is it possible to loose 20lbs in the first week?? I waa sleeved on 12/26. First wk was all liquids. I was 323 at my pre-op appt, 303 when I weighed at home yesterday. Im excited but confused as to this being possible.

Yes between the surgery and being on reduced or liquid diets pre-op it is entirely possible. At my 2 week f/u I was 26lb lighter than DOS.

You can drop an enormous amount of Water weight post-surgery. The hospital was pumping you full of liquids via IV plus (if I remember correctly) our bodies can retain alot of water due to surgery and then release it.

So, yes, it's very possible.

Congratulations on your successful surgery!

Hi! I just had my surgery on 12/19. At week one (1) I had lost between 13 and 15 lbs. I was a bit shocked. At week two (2) I have GAINED about 0 to 3 lbs! I am totally PO'd. I was 278 at surgery and today I weighed at 265. I think that the first week after the surgery can give you a dramatic loss, and then your body struggles to figure out what is going on and try to regulate your system.

I am at the beginning of week 3. I joined a gym yesterday and will be attending for the first time today after work. I am not eating pureed scrambled eggs and drinking Protein Water all day for the scale to go any direction but down. I am hoping that regular cardio will help this thing along a little better.
