I gained 8 lbs of water weight in the hospital. They have pumped you full of fluids in case you could not drink much after surgery. Dont worry it wil come off quickly in the next week or so.

What to expect??

The gas pain is the worst of it. You wont want to, but get up and walk as soon as you can. Its the only thing that really helps. You will be surprised how quickly you recover. -
What is your rate of weight loss???
NewLife125 replied to mav2126's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've slowed down to a pound or two every week. -
We are in the same boat. My surgery was june 13th and i am down 38 lbs. It started off fast but now is slow going. I had a 2week stall so i really know what you mean about it being a head game. Try to stay positive, we will both make it in the long run. We got past the hard part, now we just need to stick with the program. You can do it! ☺

Hi everyone, I am 3 weeks post ds surgery. I am doing good but I cant stand any more protein shakes. I can get all my protein in through food but I am wondering if I am getting too many calories. Is 800 too many calories for one day? I am exercising every day. Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app

Wondering about calories
NewLife125 replied to NewLife125's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks BajanSleeve! I did get lots of information from the nutritionist, but no mention of calories. Everything was on what you can and cant eat, protein and water goals. Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app -
I was wondering if anyone actually gained weight after sugery. I went into surgery at 252 lbs and when i got home i was at 261 lbs. 6 days out im at 254. Also i am having trouble getting 64 oz fluids and 80 grams protein. Best i have done with protein is 30. Which is more important for the first few weeks?

Congrats! I am 6 days out myself. I struggle with the premier, I am having better luck with the syntax nectar. Not as much protein (23) but easier for me to get down. You are a champ getting such a good start with the protein! Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app -
6 days post op ds surgery
NewLife125 replied to NewLife125's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks for the support! I guess I am over worrying. Its all so scary, so much to try to schedule and goals to meet. Guess i am still a little emotional with being just out of the hospital. [emoji5] Sent from my SM-T550 using BariatricPal mobile app -
