How Much Did U Lose First Week?

[rebirth91712 34]

Am I the only person that is stepping on the scale every day since surgery? I know each scale is different. Week before surgery I weighed in at 323 at the surgeons office stepped on today I'm at 305.

I'm sure many do weigh themselves regularly right after surgery, however considering you just had surgery 7 days ago I'd advise against it.

The first 4-6 weeks after surgery are for healing, not losing. Many don't lose at all during this time, some even gain a little. If I were you, I'd put the scale away for at least the next month and focus on healing.

I'm not "trying to lose" just sipping. the liquid diet is obviously what is doing it. im losing 2-3 pounds a day. Isnt that too much?

I try not to get on the darn scale every day but then it sucks me in! I lost 13lbs the first week.

I was banded 8/11 and down 30 lbs, I weigh weekly and this is first week I didn't lose any. :-( freaking out, fearful and would go get a fill right now if I could.

I think 30lbs is insanely awesome. U have to remember your body is in panic mode to hold on to anything.. Breathe because this diet will work for u the way its supposed to

Congrats on your lost. Have u had a fill yet?

Until I have first fill and on full diet thats when I will feel like I'm losing weight. That I'm in control of it. Like now me losing weight is because I'm taking in few cals because of being on liquid diet.< /p>

[FernandinaGin 26]

No fill. Haven't felt like I needed one yet.

[FernandinaGin 26]

Dr. Almanza said some people never need a fill. I was hoping I might be one.
