First weigh in 5 weeks post op!



Recommended Posts

So today its been abit more than 5 weeks since i got my sleeve. i did not take my weight before the surgery itself, but i did check it 2 weeks before. at that time i was 168 kg / 370 lbs.

the weight in my household has a max of 150kg / 330lbs. so whenever i used it in the last 2 years it just said "error" ( we used to laugh about that).

i tried to use it last week and still got the "error" but it was fine. i didnt expect to fly down in weight. today i had this feeling, and decided to try it. it said 148 kg / 326lbs. at first i tought it was a mistake. so i tried again. then i went to my workplace ( hospital) and used their vastly more advanced one. still said 148. talked to my doctor. i had done everything right.

so all in all great day. ive lost almost 20kg/44lbs in 6 weeks (counting from 2 weeks before surgery when i started 1k kcal a day). which is amazing!

My family wants to Celebrate so i think today, ill make my favorite purèe meal Tandoori chicken !

Great start! (And, by the way, thank you for putting your starting weight in your post lest some 250 pound person begin lamenting because they didn't lose 44 pounds in 6 weeks.)

Keep up the good work. I started about 30 pounds above you, and I weigh 173 now (at 6'0"). It is a long journey, but so worth it.

Best wishes!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
