It took me around 10 days until the scale started moving due to all of the fluids from the IV's. Hang in there!

I feel like I'm stalking you today! But i have to do something while everyone else is stuffing their faces :) when I got home from the hospital I was up! my stomach was huge! Give it time ! I was sleeved on 11-14 and am only 21 ponds down from then but oh well down is down some of us lose slow. I eat only what I should but its just the way my body works I guess. We just got back from three days at Disneyland and I ate nothing there!! But lost only a pound : / And walked for hours!! I have never seen that many people overweight and riding electric scooters! I know that I will not be one of those people because of this surgery even if it takes awhile

I have no doubt I will be one of those slow losers.... I know I just have to prepare myself for it so that I don't get too discouraged. And hey, 21 pounds is 21 POUNDS GONE. Congratulations!

We should start a VST Page for Slow Losers.... we could whine and moan and then move to encouragement!

I agree with everyone here. It takes some time to get that IV Fluid out of your system. I was up 20 lbs after 1 week in the hospital. I only know this because the discharge nurse weighed me on the way out. Decided not to weigh myself until week 3 and glad I did this because +20 is a bit depressing. Fast forward about 5 months and I am down 130 lb. As everyone says, do not weigh every day. You will be much more relaxed about the process if you hide the scale during the week. Breath, relax, breath, relax...

Lol!! My husband would love if I took my whining and moaning somewhere else!

Just wait until people see you a week or two later and look at you up and down like they were expecting a miracle !! Or the ones who asked every few days "how much have you lost now?"

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
