Hi I had my sleeve done on the same day and I feel the same way! I refuse to look at the scale because I'm scared that I haven't lost anything. You aren't alone

I am just finishing week three but the first week and half after my surgery I felt super bloated and heavy. I did weigh and I was losing but I think it was still some gases and swollen from the surgery. One day I woke up and felt a bit slimmer.

Hope this helps.

I think the problem might be your expectations.

You had surgery 11 days ago. It's not liposuction, your body must actually metabolise body fats, and this takes time.

People lose weight at different rates and in different ways. We don't all have the same history with obesity.

You started at under 200lbs, so your losses will not look like someone who started at 300lbs or 400lbs. You are female, and depending on your menses, there will be a week each month where you retain Water, are bloated and your cortisol is soaring from the stress of menstruating.

Cortisol is a stress hormone. You will struggle to lose weight when your cortisol is high. Stressing over not having lost XX lbs after only 11 days will only make it harder to lose weight.

Its not like your going to have this surgery and be thin the next day. The first thing to watch for is about 5 days out from surgery, your going to have a nice, big bowel movement. Not being gross but it has to flow through for you to lose.

My suggestion is to throw away the scale. Be patient. Also, are you eating the same amount of food you were eating prior to your surgery? I think your answer to this is going to be no. So its just a matter of time. Your body has to burn off the fat which is used as fuel to give your energy and it has to discard the fat some how, so down the toilet it goes, sweat etc.

You will see major change in 3 months and within a year you will see even more. Remember you still have to do your part and the sleeve is only a tool.

I had my surgery on the 8th and I am the same. I have stopped looking at the scale because I know it's only a matter of time. I figure my body is adjusting right now. Just give it a little more time and I am sure your scale will start moving!
