Didit12262012 17 Posted January 3, 2013 Have you started losing any weight or am I just overly anxious, surgery... 12/26. I am now at "DOS - day of surgery" weight, as it took a while for the fluids to get out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minimii 43 Posted January 3, 2013 I weighed myself for the first time yesterday and I was 1lb over day of surgery weight... I think I have gotten out most of the gas so hopefully the scale should start heading south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

minimii 43 Posted January 4, 2013 Today I plan on weighing myself when I go to the gym. I won't buy a home scale because I don't want to be a slave to it. I need to take my measurements to see if anything has changed since my DOS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AGiroux 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Sleeved 12/28 - BMI 30 .... I am doing everything as instructed. I feel great, nothing makes me queasy ... But my weight has basically stayed the same since I got home a week+ ago. I am ingesting 60 grams of protein/ 650-700 calories / walked 3 miles yesterday. But no change on scale. I am starting to panic that this is not going to work for me for. It has to work.... right? ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WTH, my recommended intake from the RD at my surgeon (US surgeon) was 90g Protein, under 450 calories... and I have followed that to a T, and walking 2.4 miles daily... call in with the RD today to go into soft food phase... will see what she says, and report back... I have that same feeling, am I the one person this won't work for, really? Also let me say my ticker is wrong... I have not lost 12 lbs... 3 to be exact, starrted at 178, went up 10 post op due to fluids, got back to 178 about a week ago, since then 3 lbs lost... 174.6 on the scale today...
