Did I Break My New Sleeve?

[Iwantitgone 4]

I was sleeved 5/29. At my 1 week post op i had lost 22lbs since my pre-op 1 week before surgery. I am now one week out and I have not lost anymore if not gained a couple pounds! Help!!! Did I ruin my sleeve already???

No this is normal. This happens to everyone especially when you lose rapidly at the beginning. Do not panic and be patient the scale will show your weight loss soon. This also can happen if your bowels are not working properly yet. It will all work out.

A lot of people retain Water after surgery. Be patient, work your sleeve, and you will do great!!! Don't worry :-))

Don't panic!

I was 194 at the start of my 2 week pre-op, Surgery day was 186, came home at 191, today was 180. I'm 9 days out from surgery.

I hear of folks losing 20+ lbs in the first week after surgery! I'm not one of those folks. I've always been a slow loser. Same happened after I was banded. I never had the rapid or large amounts that other folks seem to have.

Don't get me wrong- I am THRILLED w/the 6lbs gone. Just sayin' that I'm a slow one!
