I don’t think am losing



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on 04/09/19. Before the surgery I was 265 at my 1 week post op I was 243 but two weeks after when I weighed myself it’s say 250 am not sure what exactly is going on, like am really losing my mind . I had to stop taking my Vitamins because they wouldn’t stay down so my doctor asked me to stop taking them until am ready I to take the in 4 weeks. Did anyone going through this.

This might be to simple, but you are weighing yourself at the same time of day, wearing the same/similar clothes? Water weight can be significant, and you might haven been a bit dehydrated when you weighed 243. I would suggest to only weigh yourself once a week. I am 14 months out and I used an app that graphed my weight loss. Sometimes I plateaued, and then I would lose 5 points in a week. Nevertheless, so far I have lost 80 pounds. Don't worry, it will happen for you!

From week 4 to week 8 I lost zero. I gained 3 pounds. I've now lost 5 pounds the last 2 weeks.

You are very early on and it looks like you lost a lot if weight pre-op, as I did. I think your body is taking a break. You will start losing again.

Best wishes!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
