Thought my pouch wasn’t working Post-Op. Seriously thought of calling my surgeon, but alas the patience is paying off. My pouch does work. Here’s the breakdown week1-week 5 post op rny.

(242lbs highest wt. and surg day was 227lbs after liquid diet (started using NO SODIUM BROTHS & it flew off then)

Week 1-2 no hunger.

Week 3 felt hunger again but it was satisfied very easily with tiny portions of Puréeds(1/4 cup).

Week 4 had a little more hunger and needed more to satisfy at times 1/4-1/2 cup Puréeds.

On week 5 (mech soft diet starting now) & not hungry at all again. Forgotten to eat 3 times already, so this week is different. The weights FLYING off about a pound a day now. (Initially I lost 6 lbs the day I was discharged from hosp, but...

NOTHNG ELSE LOST week 1 or week 2

Week 3 lost 3 lbs.

Week 4 lost 4 lbs.

At my 1 month post op visit I’de lost 13 lbs post op, but lost 27lbs total with preop liquid diet included. (Ok ok ok so not bad afterall...)

Week 5 lost 6 lbs

I’m losing at about pound per day now. So my body is letting go of weight finally at a much faster pace. It’s crazy how it wouldn’t move AT ALL week 1-2!

Just starting week 6 at still about a pound per day loss still so far..

Total lost now: 33 lbs w/ Preop included.

Crazy how my body/ metabolism was so slow to engage in wt loss. Prob due to needing to see if I was starving or if I would still give my body protein & nourishment & when it saw I was eating foods again (albeit in much smaller portions) but it started letting go then.

Curious what others post op wk by wk breakdown looks like & if this is typical..?
