MsVictorious1020 497 Posted April 7, 2013 I'm so pumped. First two days sucked majorly but I'm awake today and walking around, releasing my trapped gas. So on a whim I decided to weigh myself. I'm not sure how accurate it is bc it's not my scale from home but at any rate I'm down approximately 17 pounds!!!! Give or take a few bc it's a different scale. Either way I'll take it. And that's with all this air in me. I can only imagine what it's like in a few weeks once the air is gone. I'm beyond happy!!!! Woohoo! 1 Molly3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsVictorious1020 497 Posted April 7, 2013 Well that weight loss includes preop diet. Again im at a different scale then I usually weigh at. I'm just glad to see it go down some. I'm curious what my first post op appt says. Either way the pain is worth it 1 MamaC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted April 7, 2013 The best part about the first two weeks is that the weight just melts off! It's enough to keep you going through the 3rd week stall. Congrats! 1 MamaC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BonnieE 9 Posted April 7, 2013 I left the hospital 10 lbs heavier than I went in due to Fluid retention. My IV hand was so swollen it looked like a baseball mitt! Because I am still carrying belly bloat I haven't weighed myself because I don't "feel" like I have lost anything. I am sure I have...how can you not when you don't eat any food...but I will wait till my appt on 4/15 to see. Congrats to those that are losing! I hope to be a loser soon too! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
