When Does Weight Loss Begin?



Recommended Posts

Am 2 days post sleeve and still up 2 pounds since my hospital stay. When does the weight loss phase kick in? I know it is different for everyone.

You are probably still retaining Water. I had gained 7 pounds after surgery and it took me a week to lose it again. Don't rush it you will lose weight, be patient.

everyone is different. my advice, please don't weigh yourself everyday. i know that it is tempting, and you may have to have someone hide the scale to accomplish it, but, if you weigh once a week, you're less likely to be dissappointed.

it took a few days to kick in for me.

I gained 15 lbs during surgery yes 15 lbs, so It took me about a week before that Water weight fell off then I had a stall for the next two weeks.... so the first month I lost about only 9 lbs but the second month it really came off. I am just starting my 3rd month now and been on a stall again for a week. so be paitent it will come off. I have lost 63 lbs so far that includes pre op, I went from a size 26 to an 18 . I can wear 1x comfortably with out a problem and some XL depending what it is ... cant wait to loose more ..........

Thanks guys! I just needed to hear what was "normal". Can't wait to be a loser, but honestly, I'm not in a big hurry. I lost 50 pre op and I already feel great. Just curious how it went or some people.

Put on 13 lbs from the fluids they pumped into me for the surgery. That was gone in about 8 or 9 days. Have list a total of about 43 lbs but as someone else said I am trying to stay away from the scale!! I am down three pant sizes which I am thrilled about . Surgery was 9/10. Hang in you will do great!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
