bethleblanc 1 Posted August 28, 2012 I am currently 7 weeks post open and down almost 30lbs. I think I should be down more..the scale just hasn't moved in the last 3 weeks. Any advice on what I should be eating and sizes would help A LOT. 1 victoryinJesus53 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chelle68 27 Posted August 28, 2012 I am 5 days post op and lost zero. Did it take some time to begin to shed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethleblanc 1 Posted August 28, 2012 For me...when I came home from the hospital, I was 16 lbs down. I just assumed it was from them taking out most of my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted August 28, 2012 At about seven weeks out, I remember one of my faves was a few ounces of tuna with low fat miracle whip mixed in. Sent from my iPad using VST 1 Trcyprkr70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marykatherine 38 Posted September 5, 2012 We all lose at different paces. You've had your stomach removed, contrary to your fears. You have to lose! Breath, drink fluids, and wait. It will happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
