How Long To Start Losing Weight After Surgery?

[enixon2010 6]

I had surgery on December 28th and I gained 15 pounds from surgery. DOS I weighed 275 and now weigh 265 pounds. Which leaves me with an additional 5 pounds to lose from surgery. When can expect to see some real weight loss?

I'm one week post-op. I was up 6 lbs from surgery which kinda freaked me out as well. It took a couple of days for me to drop those 6 lbs and since then I've dropped another 9 lbs. Don't worry - it will come off!

the elevation in weight is from all the IV fluids they pumped into you It can take awhile for your body to reabsorb that, then you will see the weight melt off

I started really seeing the weight come off within the first two weeks. Of course, I lost 13 pounds pre-op, not large amounts like some others. I also started with a higher BMI than many others.

Rest assured that your weight WILL come off, and very quickly! I am 4 months post-op and I have lost 74 pounds as of yesterday. It's almost like magic!

Don't worry! It will come off of you but I hear there is a 3 week stall. I didn't have that problem myself. The only reason you lose weight is your body is burning more calories than you are consuming.
