10 day post-op: how much have you lost?



Recommended Posts

Including my 1 week pre-op liquid diet, I've only lost 13 lbs. I just thought it would be more. I know Im not getting in enough liquids, but that seems to be getting easier every day. Just wondering what others are seeing who have sleeved around the same time (8/13)?

13 pounds. That's amazing. Fluids are strange because we are so used to drinking as much as we want. Now sipping. Just keep it up.

I would suggest not comparing yourself to others on this front. 13 lbs is 13 lbs so congratulations! :)

13 pounds is good, that's 1.3 pounds a day!!! I'm 16 days out and have only lost 7!!! However, I've lost inches and my clothes are too big now, and my stomach is much smaller than two weeks ago! Everyone is different and your body is still recouping. You're on the right track! :)

I had surgery on 8/14, I was 302 day of surgery. At my 1 wk follow up on 8/22, I was 288. I lost 14pounds in a week. That's pretty darn awesome in my book. Have you lost 13 pounds in 10 days before?

I was sleeved 8/14, and I lost 14 during my pre-op and I've lost 17 since surgery.

Keep up the great work everyone.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
