2 weeks out..not a pound lost!?

[amandaaok 10]

Ok, I'm beginning to think I'm the only person who will not lose weight from this!Officially been 2 weeks since my surgery, I weighed today and am the same as right before I had surgery! what is going on here? I keep seeing other people post about all the weight they were dropping....and I haven't lost a pound.

No complications, been walking every day, taking meds and food are within my allowed range...what gives?! Has anyone else not seen a drastic drop right away or is it just me?! :/

Completely normal. They pump you full of IV fluids at the hospital, your body is healing from surgery, it is all normal. Some people don't see a loss until maybe 4 weeks out. It will happen!

I'm 2 weeks out today. I lost the IV Fluid weight in week one but for the last 10 days I've remained the same weight as I was preop. Spoke to the nutritionist and surgeon and they both said not to worry. But I have the same feelings as you...

It depends on what you are eating your not supposed to eat anything mostly drinking your food like yogurt eggs, protein

Well, I think mine was a combo of the fluids + pms/period. Of course that started about 10 days after surgery, period ended yesterday and I weighed this morning and was already down 1lb, so hopefully now that's all out of the way I will see more progress

I am two week out tomorrow and I have not lost any since I have been home from the hospital. The day I went in to the hospital I had already lost 5 pounds from the pre-liquid diet. Then in the hospital I was down 5 more pounds. So now for the last 10 - NO LOSS. I am glad I am not the only one.

What have you been eating? or drinking, should I say?

What is your daily routine in terms of eating? Are you still doing your liquid phase?

God no not still on liquids only...who does liquids only for 17 days after!? Lol

I have a Premier Protein drink, Soup, pureed Beans, smashed avocado yogurt etc...all things that are allowed at this point. Like I said I think mine was a combination of all the fluids - I was hella swollen from hospital - and my time of the month following surgery by BARELY more than a week. I refuse to weigh daily - I would get obsessed and then depressed if it wasn't as fast as other people - but I will weigh weekly and keep track of it, so next week is next weigh in

I had two weeks of rapid weight loss and then a week and a half of nothing. I was concerned, but my surgeon also said not to worry about it; that hormones and Water intake make a huge difference and that day-to-day fluctuation can be more severe than we anticipate. Glad to see your numbers are starting to move! And I was on Clear Liquids for 16 days after surgery, lol.
