I started noticing some physical changes right away. Since I only weighed at my doctor's appointments, the first time I weighed post-op was one week out. I showed a good loss on the scale then and at my one-month follow-up.

I was almost a week out, before I lost my first pound. I had gained from all the IV fluids.

I have noticed weight loss in my face and neck area and as weird as this sounds, in my hips ????. I am 3 weeks post-op today.

My scale moved right away, but I didn't feel or notice a physical difference until now. I think some of it depends on how you carry your weight. I'm a classic apple body type, so I lost weight in my neck, shoulders, and back, but little to nothing from my waist/hips.

I don't think I noticed anything for the first few weeks.

I noticed about 3 days post-op that my feet were super skinny! I know its strange but I was absolutely elated. Some of my flip flops come right off now when I'm walking in them. I wanted a skinnier waist , but if I have to start with my feet, that's fine too! ????

my advice is not to look at the scale until 2 weeks post op. you are full of fluids and swelling the first week.

i am now 2 weeks post op and down 23 lbs.

Hips and thighs no real big change. Face neck chest back and tummy has had all of the loss so far.
