3 Lbs Down In One Day?!



Recommended Posts

So I am 6 days post-op and I decided to weigh myself yesterday. The scale said 259. Well this morning, I weighed 256! I know I just had sugery and all, but I am not even bloated nor do I have gas. Is this normal? I have not started back to the gym yet.

yes, I had some drops of about 3lbs overnight too! Also gained 1lb at 10days post op, so don't freak out if that happens either!

Its probably true. Your body decides to let go of Water when it wants too and it decided to take a nose dive! Some weeks you will have big losses and some none at all. Its an average and you are coming off a gain from your TOM so its probably just adjusting for that. Dont worry, be Happy!

You will be AMAZED at what your body can and will do. You will also be frustrated by it at times, so be prepared, but you will, overall, be going down, down, down! If you weigh every day (like I do, and also tell everyone NOT to...) you will see little bounces up and big bounces down. It is all normal. Enjoy the ride! :)

I would LOVE for the 10.6 pound drop to actually be true! It puts me a mere 4 pounds away from my Memorial Day goal! I will TOTALLY take that!!!

      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.
