Wheetsin 714 Posted July 18, 2011 Texasmom - you can safely assume that 40% - 60% of the weight you lose up front (first 2 or 3 weeks) is Water weight and won't significantly impact your sizing. The remaining 60% - 40% will be mostly fat. SO your weight may need to be a bit lower than usual before you see your usual difference. Once fluids & things equalize, you'll see more of a true size difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted July 18, 2011 BTW, I use "water weight" generically... other fluids are in that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leslie 14 Posted July 18, 2011 Today is the best day I have had since surgery. I am still taking pain meds every 12 hours cause it gets pretty bad without them. I have been walking a lot, usually between 1-2 miles in divided doses. It feels like I should do more but I try to keep reminding myself that I just had surgery! Before surgery I was walking between 4-5 miles/day. I have my follow-up tomorrow morning. I am hoping that theywill release me to pureed foods. Although I am NOT hungry at all, I am tired of Clear liquids. Blessings, Leslie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
