Hey guys,

I am feeling a little better. I am 7 days Post-Op now.

I am losing 1 pound a day. It's been like this for 5 days now. Is this common?

To me it's kind of scary...I am so use to seeing the scales go up and up--never down and down---:D

Thanks,

Pam

Hi Vicki,

I never had a drain put in. I am still eating stage 2 foods...Solid liquids still...

I am up to 150 cals a day and 18 oz of Water.

I went in at 214 lbs and I am now 202. That is 12 pounds in 7 days that I lost.

I will see my surgeon on Dec 9th. Maybe because I don't have the drain is why the appointment is so far away.

Also Vicki, I had a hernia to boot. I am so lucky...So maybe thats another reason why I'm still not eating or drinking much. 2 surgeries for my dollar...

And how are you doing?

please let me know...

Thanks,

pam

I couldn't believe how I dropped 15 lbs in the first week or so. It has slowed down a bit, but at 7 weeks out today, I am down 33 lbs.

I was sleeved on Nov 3rd and have lost almost 23 pounds in a week!!!! Im like FLABBERGASTED about that! I dont think thats normal! Even though I did have to go back in the hopsital for 2 extra days because of puking and pain. 23 pounds!!!! WHAT THA??? I see my Dr on the 15th and Im going to double check on his scales. Even though I weighed everyone in my family on mine to make sure they were right. and they seem to be. I too am wondering what the norm is........

It'll settle down, maybe even stall... but don't worry - I also found it strange to see the scales going down... still do in fact! My weight loss has now evened out and I'm shifting about 1lb a week.... which as I'm only 18lbs off my surgeons target of 147lbs I'm quite happy with.

The target I chose for myself is 140lbs..... so we'll see what happens with that one.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
