I am 11 days out of sleeve/hernia surgery. I never had any pain at all, and I even sleep on my stomach. I have no problem getting liquids down. My only concern is that in those eleven days of existing on liquids, I have not even lost one pound!

The thing to remember is that even though you aren't feeling any pain, your body still went through trauma, was cut open, stapled up, and swollen. It takes time for the swelling to go down. In the first 2-4 weeks some have even GAINED weight in Water weight, etc. Just keep following your instructions from your surgeon/NUT and have faith in the process.

Also, stress and anxiety over it can really impact it. My suggestion is to only weigh yourself once a week. Otherwise, don't step on it. You'll find that you'll feel better the less you're stepping on the scale.
