Down 19 lbs my first week

Is this about right? I am super excited but im guessing the the process will slow down a little or my scale is just broken lol. But i went from 278 surgery day to 266 when i was hospitalized 5days post op to 259ish 9 days post op!!! WOW. I was just wondering how other people felt about their initial weight loss especially when im on this liquid diet. ONce i incorporate food will things change alot?

I weighed myself 3 days prior, was 227. Day of I was 223. i went to my moms this afternoon and was 214. I look at that as 9-10 lbs. I am on day 6 and am pretty happy with that amount. Except for the re-hospitalization. congrats!!

Hello: I have yet to have my surgery scheduled; however I am wondering why you were re-hospitalized. Hopefully, you are doing well.

Hello Funnylady,

I went back because i was very weak, lots of diarrhea and some vomiting. They said i was dehydrated but everything else was cool. So they gave me plenty fluids and sent me home.

Wow that is awesome! Did you also do liquids pre-op? Congrats!

I am down 11 pounds in 2 1/2 weeks and pleased with that as it combines with 18 pounds pre-op.

Wow! You guys are so lucky! Im 4 months out and ive only lost 27 pounds total. However I weighed 197 at the time of surgery, so I'm considered a light weight and supposedly will lose slower.

Congrats! That is a wonderful start!

@ mbridgeman- you are correct. You will lose weight alot slower because you have less weight to lose. Thanks to everyone else. I only did liquid diet the day before surgery. But my weight loss was from the day of surgery and the 8th day. Now im a little more than 20 lbs lost in less than 2 weeks. 278 to 255. But im sure it will slow down. Im just afraid that i will not get enough fluids in my system because i keep forgetting to eat.
