I have my surgery December 26th, 2018 the day after Christmas and I have been following my pre-op diet and was wondering how much weight is one expected to loose? I am day 11 and my weight loss has seemed to stall. I am only 10 lbs down from beginning weight of pre-op diet and have seemed to stall there? Is this normal?

Also, normally I do not have menstrual cycles but started my period 3 days ago. When I tried Keto in the past, I also bled the whole month I was on it until I raised my carbs? Seem that I bleed every time I lower my carbs and it's just miserable. Has anyone else had issues like this?

I lost 15 pounds on my liver shrink and at 73(same day as your surgery) I have the natural metabolism of a seasick sea slug, so 10 should be in the okay range, many things may be the same, but we are all individuals, that's what makes life varied and interesting.

It all depends on your weight. I happen to lose 20 but i started higher so i had more to lose.. Well 19.5 to be precise. The scale at home and the scale at the hospital were different by half pound.. Today i am down a total of almost 45 including the preop. I am good with this..My cycle showed up the night before surgery. Then again on the 17th of this month. I can say from all the stories i read about cycles changing.. I was lucky! Mine was normal, just 10 days late LOL.. Gone in time for Christmas!!! YAY!

Anyways everybody is different so do not compare yourself to others, it will only frustrate you. This is your journey and you will be different than everybody else.

Good Luck on your Journey!
