I am 1 week post op. Had surgery last wednesday.

Starting weight when i started process for surgery was 340.

Right before i had to do preop liquid diet I was 334. In those 2 days I lost 10 lbs (324lbs) Water weight of course.

I gained some back after surgery from swelling and the gas.

Before I left the hospital they weighed me in at 328 that was Saturday.

So in the last 4 days Ive lost 16lbs. Im happy but is this normal or wayyy too much?? I have my appointment with surgeon tomorrow but I just wanted some opinions.

Hw:360

Sw:340

Cw:312 (havnt been this low 300s in over 2 years!)

It's normal right after surgery because the first month you will lose the most. When I went for my two weeks ck up I had lose twelve. The dr said most lost twenty in the first month. Enjoy, because there will be stalls! Congrats! On joining the losers bench!

I agree with slimagain. I know of people losing 40 in the first month and your story is not uncommon. Just keep following your physician's instructions and reporting back to him/her about your progress.

Best of luck with your sleeve.

Agree with normal but know that the loss may slow down or plateau periodically during your journey which can be fruststrating for many.

Just stick with your program during those times and you will see the scale move again :)

      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.
