MinaT 669 Posted June 16, 2012 I went from 229 day of surgery to 235 after surgery and all I had was Water, and peppermint tea and I had a lot of diarreah. I take in LESS than 200 calories a day and I am only down to 222 and I am 12 days out. Everyone needs to realize they cannot compare their body to another another persons body. You may very well have had a lot more swelling. You may have had more scar tissue prior to surgery. I can weight myself right now, and in an hour and after I bm and and each weight be different. It's a waste of emotion getting worked up over it right now, and comparing yourself to others is not healthy because eventually it all comes around and evens out. You may have more gas, more bloating, more water retention, more swelling. The comparison does you and your sister no good because it's really not a competition. It's about letting your sleeve heal. 1 iwannabslim reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
