I'm only two weeks out and disappointed in the scale. But trying on clothes in my closet...that is what made me say "wow"!

Just keep working the program. Good luck to both of us.

I feel the same... 8 wks only 16 lbs lost! 😣... I feel like I should have just stayed on the weight loss plan I was doing before surgery.. Better results.. No force feeding myself Water every 15 min! Ugh!... Well hope I feel different in a while 😋

From your mouth to my body! I hope it picks up!

I was supposed to have the RNY Bypass... But I'm thinking they played me and just stuck some holes in my abdomen! 😕

I feel the same way. If I didn't have the five scars I wouldn't think anything was done. I'm now 5 weeks out and at 21 pounds.

I lost quickly the first few weeks and now it's a pound or two a week. It differs for everyone and the less you have to lose, the slower your weight loss will be. Surgery for me was 1/17/17 and I've lost a total of 34 pounds...that is since the beginning of pre-op diet on 1/7/17.

You have to watch what you eat and drink nothing sugary or no carbs. No drinking thru a straw either. I had ryn bypass laproscopically on may 9th 2016 and I have lost 104 lbs already. It depends on u and your team

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
