I weighed in at 285 before surgery. I am now 3 weeks post op and have lost only 20 pounds. Now I'm at a hault. Has anyone experienced this? Should I be worried?

I don't know if it's being on the liquid diet or what but I am always so hungry! Already lost 20 lbs though.

On December 31st at 10 am I underwent weight loss surgery. This is something that had been weighing on my mind for about 3 years and I finally took a leap of faith and jumped. My first day was very pain filled but luckily I had some great nurses. Day two was a little better and I walked at least every two hours so the soreness and gas pains really started easing up. That evening my doctor visited me and said he didn't see why I couldn't go home. It was so nice to be able to sleep in a bed that wasn't in a hospital. Day three my soreness was a lot better and now here we are on day 4. I actually have eased up on my pain meds and took a small walk outside down the sidewalk. The fresh air was amazing. I'm still stirring up gas when I drink but I'm hoping that will pass with time.. I also weighed my self on the scale and it said I've already lost 10 pounds!!

Thanks for the insight, jersey! I'm still sore and alerting is somewhat uncomfortable bc Im use to sleeping on my belly lol You should be very excited! It's a rough road at first but if gets easier as far as I can tell Anyone know how long it took their incisions to heal?

Hey all, I had my surgery on New Years eve. Today is my third day and I'm very sore but feel 100 times better. How long did it take for the soreness to go away?

I have my surgery here in Georgetown, Ky on the 31st. I was just wondering how pain is going to be and what are some ways others coped with their operation pain? Thanks, Kaysea A.

Thank you! I'm so ready for this!

Finally have my surgery date and I'm soon excited!!

Just curious as to how the sleeve has impacted your social and romantic lives? I'm having my surgery in a few weeks and just curious.
