Hey there, I had my surgery on the 23rd of April ... At weigh in I lost 23lbs. Was released from hospital on the 24th. I got up and walked right away since I was terrified of getting blood clots in my legs.. Little to no gas in hospital but home I've been burping and passing gas a ton.. Still on liquid until the 30th and sugar free but I have a feeling that sugar free is really bothering my new stomach. Anyway I feel great ... My question is when did you all start to see weight loss did it take a few weeks? Or was it right away I've stepped on the scale a couple times since being home and no change.

I had my surgery April 14, and although when I went to my follow up I had lost 16 pounds and my friends and family said I look like I lost a lot of weight I still don't see it. In fact I feel like I gained weight even when I look at myself on the mirror I think I gained weight. My surgeon said that is because I'm losing weight faster than my mind can process it. I'm hoping somewhere down the line I start seeing the changes in my body.

I DID NOT LOOSE ANY WEIGHT THE FIRST 6 DAYS. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE YOU HAD SO MANY FLUIDS PUMPED IN YOU . YOU HAVE Water WEIGHT AND THE GAS.

Good Morning All/Colleenrenee

Congrats, we have our sleeve too! (My husband and me) on 23rd as well! Pretty painless for me, my husband had a lot of abdominal scarring.. So a bit more painful for him. We are both feeling great and are back to work today. I'm actually working in the office as I send this post. My husband is down 30lb since advised of Diabetes 2mths ago. Only 6 down since pre-op. Me down a total of 15.. since 2 weeks ago, and only one lb down pre-op weight. I'm aired up, plus I got my cycle the day after surgery, ugh, but feel blessed and wonderful. Yesterday me and my hubby walked 2.6 miles.
