My first post op weigh in..



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on the 7/11 and was supposed to have my post op on 7/19 but didn't make it cuz I ended up back in hospital.. But long story short I had it today so a little over two weeks.. But I'm down 27lbs.. I notice it in my legs and arms and face but barely in my stomach area even tho I notice it in the way my clothes fit.. Regardless I'm so happy I made the right decision!! Thanks everyone on here for helping me with my journey along the way!!

5 days out and I haven't lost one single pound. I'm so discouraged. And yes I'm drinking my required Protein and Fluid intake.

Don't get discouraged. I did not start losing for a good 6 days. You are so bloated from surgery. I'm now 4 weeks out and have lost 16+ lbs. I was lower BMI so the loss is s bit slower. I also hit a 2-3 week stall. It's very real. This process is definitely not easy and your body has to heal first! You will do good. Just keep at it.

Seems unfair but totally normal! The weight will start to fall off very shortly. I too was discouraged the first couple weeks but I still ended up losing over 35lbs in the first month. Hang in there and relax. Follow your prescribed plan and it will pay off.

Don't give up. My body goes through these spells if staying still and even gaining a pound or too. Then after a week bam a big weight loss. Don't give up and never be afraid to ask questions. Best of luck.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
