How much did you lose the first week after your surgery? And what was your surgery day weight?

My surgery day weight was 228.8 (I started at 237 on the pre-op diet 1 week prior to surgery). My weight 1 week after surgery was 218.2. I am now 3 weeks and 1 day from surgery and I was 213.6 this morning.

If I'm reading your ticker right you are 5 days post-op and you have lost 1 pound? If you feel like things are going slowly, don't worry about it....you are likely retaining Water from the surgery and when the swelling goes down, so too will your weight.

Good luck!

I was 297 on my day of surgery on 9/18. One week later I had lost 13lbs, down to 284. I'll be 2 weeks post op tomorrow, but I don't go to the dr 'til next week, I don't have a reliable scale, but I know I lost this week. My pants are loose! Lol.

It took the first week post-op for me to lose the 5-6 pounds I had gained in the hospital. Until the last three days, it's been slow since, especially the 12-day stall I had. But the trend line on the app for my scale definitely shows progress.

      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.
