Hi everyone, it's day5 for me of my VSG surgery. I wanted to get everyone's take on how much weight you all lost in the first week. My highest weight was 281lbs and my day of surgery weight was 260lbs. I've been sticking to my liquid diet and have reached my Protein and Water goals each day but this morning when I stepped on the scale I was 258lbs. I thought I would have lost more than that since I'm only eating 200-400 calories a day. What was all of your experiences with the first week of weight loss?

I had a non surgery complication while in the hospital. I was sick before i had the surgery and only took two days of antibiotics, unfortunately that ended in a C.diff infection. I ended up staying in the hospital for 9 days until i was cleared to go home. I lost about 11 pounds during that week.

I know and I get it, I just keep seeing all these women losing 10, 13, 14lbs the first week, I'm just curious about other people's experiences.

I love this quote comparison is a thief of joy. That's life in general. I will take this advice for myself...

I am 7 days post sleeve today and have promised myself I will only weigh myself once every 7 days. I don't want to obsess with daily weigh ins.

I was 265.3lb and am now 251.1lb. So 14 pounds down. Happy with that, but it's early days!

I was sleeved January 23rd of 2018. I lost 11.4lbs my first 7 days after surgery.
