1 Week Post Op, And Only Down 2Lbs. Frustrated :(



Recommended Posts

Am I expecting to much? I just thought I would have lost more. Help. Maybe because the trauma from surgery? Any info is appreciated.

There are any of a number of reasons to be worried, but this isn't one of them. Your body has just gone through truama. Allow it to recover. If you follow the plan and stay on the diet, you'll lose. Just relax. It doesn't happen overnight. You will get there.

Calm down...... It took me a week to get back to my pre-op weight!! You gain weight in the hospital between the IV fluids, gases used during the operation , etc..... What you are experiencing is NORMAL!! :)

Thanks. I knew I was freaking out for no reason. Makes me feel better that it is normal. Of course it doesn't help that my hubby (we had surgery the same day) has lost 10 since surgery. Lol you guys made me feel better. Thank you!

Barrbdoll is right. I walked out of the hospital 10 pounds heavier. Give it time. I know I expected it to just fall off after surgery. It was like I went through all of this and only this much. It's a journey. Take time and actually enjoy it. It's all new experiences and feelings. Happy moments of little victories. Congrats on being sleeved. :-)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
