I'm 2 weeks out . Lost 28 lb that's in 3 week , including pre op diet. Have not lost anything in my 2nd week which is freaking me out!

It's very common. 28lbs is slot of weight to lose - your body is adjusting. Just stick with the plan. Stay off the scale!

No, I haven't had any tests at all post-op. I have to say though, that I think it may have been my hemorrhoids bleeding, they do that quite often. If I had a leak I would be extremely unwell, tachycardia, tachypnea (high heart rate and respiratory rate), hypertensive initially - as a nurse I know I feel too well to have a major leak at this point, but that's not to say it couldn't happen in the future! I will ask my dr about some evaluation though - I didn't have a swallow study either!

How do I give a thumbs up or add a new post on here? I want to give you all a "thumbs up" simply for taking the bull by the horns and making your future healthy self a reality! I'm an RN, 9 days out VSG, nothing but problems - I spent an extra 4 days in hospital due to nausea/pain spasms, came home for 3 days, back in the ER yesterday having IV fluids, spent last night having major diarrhea with my first bowel movement in 10 days (curse you, Milk of Magnesia!) and lost around a liter of RED Fluid, now it's morning and I'm feeling a lot better. Yes I know I lost blood from somewhere and I should have gone back to the ER but at 4am I just couldn't do it - I'd had enough of hospitals. More diarrhea just now is a normal color. Anyone else on here having bowel trouble?

Hey y'all,I had my sleeve the 25th and had gained because of IV too but dwn by 13 today so lost the 6 I had gained plus 7 more still on Clear Liquids. I am amazed at how little pain and discomfort I have had as well as thankful.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
