How Much Did You Lose The First Week?

6 days post op and I'm FINALLY down a pound from surgery. I know I was retaining Fluid, etc but I'm hoping I will start losing now.

I lost 17lbs the first week then barely anything the following four weeks but its my fault. I havent been drinking enough Water and been snacking. Back on track though, change sure is hard!

I think most people lose the first week then stall around 2-3 week mark. There is some great info on here about that subject. Normal.

5 lbs the 1st week and 5lbs the 2nd week. So far, so good!

Well, initially I gained weight from all the fluids...lol. I ended week one with a 10 pound loss, but I had only lost 8 pounds on the preop diet so that makes a big difference. If you lost a bunch preop you might not lose as fast. Remember that super fast initial weight loss is Water loss as your body releases the glycogen a bunch of Water goes with it.

My advice nearly 11 months out (I know you didn't ask, but I am giving it anyway) - don't worry too much about comparing yourself to others or get hung up on day to day or get stressed by stalls or any of that. just keep working the sleeve, following the guidelines and the weight WILL come off. Promise.
