Looking Ahead 239 Posted June 29, 2012 If I was sleeved on Monday, when can I expect to see the scales to go down...it just now went to my pre surgery weight. IV's liquids put on 9 lbs ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 29, 2012 You have probably already started to lose weight! The 9lbs is from Water retention and your stomach is really swollen. Take it one day at a time and try to weight yourself 1 timer per week. The scale will drive you crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AliveAgain 283 Posted June 29, 2012 I agree with Debbie about only getting on the scale once per week. But I know I couldn't stay away from the temptation and still to this day get on (almost) every day. It is different for everyone, but I think it took me about 4-6 days to lose the 8lbs of IV Fluid weight. I really started to notice .5-1lb drops daily around day 10. Have faith, it will happen for you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryokokitty 26 Posted June 30, 2012 I asked this same question last week. Everyone was very helpful and it really just takes time for your body to heal. I think its from all the pain and stress from the surgery that I wanted some results right away. I also worried that I was doing something wrong. Don't worry at it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
