That's an amazing visible change in such a short timeframe! I'm so happy for your success!

i can't get over how much several of you have lost so soon after surgery. Was there a particular day where you suddenly started seeing the change? I'm on day 5 and still have a little gain from the surgery Fluid (started 10 up and lost most of it but I'm still above my starting weight.) When did you see the scale shift and these huge losses show up? 20 -- 23 lbs down in 9 days is mind boggling!

Would be a lot of fun to wake up 4 days from now and discover that I lost another size :D

I'm with healthyjudy, would you all mind telling us how much you weighed the day of surgery? I ask that because I would like to know if anyone started where I am at 235-ish.. 5 ft 6". I don't want to be super disappointed if my results aren't like this in 9 days. I get we all lose at different rates, but I would like to have something to compare to.

I haven't noticed the physical changes that he has...wish I did. However, I have a very accurate scale. Day of surgery, I weighed 288,(5'7) yesterday I was 268. I never gained Water weight. I typically lost a pound to 2/day. I am now up to 2 Protein Shakes a day(60g protein) 4 oz at a time...and flavored water, lemonade, diet juice or broth. Can't stomach straight water yet, but I wish I could...tired of sweet flavors.

I know what you mean, I've lost 25 in the 3 weeks since, and more than the visual even, I'm just excited about the way my body moves so much easier! Although I will admit, being able to put on jeans for the first time in years was super cool! (lol)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
