when do you start losing?

[one day at a time 30]

One day. ..you have lost 26lbs in two weeks?! That's amazing. And great. Disappointed about the stomach thing. Surprised it was not mentioned in ANY preop stuff I did. Sorry it seems like forever' date=' if it helps, I still have insane cravings on a full stomach. Sad. Its all in my head. 26 lbs before April sounds great! P90x can't do that!![/quote']

This loss is with my pre surgery low carb diet. But, while in the hospital you gain it all back, and then some due to all the fluids given. My jeans hurt bending over, or sitting. Jeans are big but can't wear my belt too tight yet. I feel very well, Water intake is good, Protein drinks go down rough so you need to get creative. And, still look forward to meals and what I'm going to try next. I do dump and get the nasty cramps, but thank god that doesn't last long

So far I have not gone below my preop weight and I have also not had a bm yet. I hope these two have something in common. Glad there are others with the same surgery date. The left side of my bellybutton seems tight like its my stomach and it always feels full. I am getting concerned. Took Miralax and stool softener this morning and nothing so far. Don't think it's a blockage because I have occasional gas.

Have you tried watered down juice? I know I went 4-5 days, but it happened. I felt much better! Good luck and hopefully it happens for you soon.

Good news, last night everything happened for me! I was feeling. discouraged. Took a nice warm shower, and had action after the shower. Hope everyone remembers to share this tip...can't go? Take a warm shower and try to relax

I purposely did not weigh myself until my first check-up as my nutritionist said it would fluctuate in the first two weeks and she did not want me to be discouraged. I did this and lost 23 pounds by two weeks out (9 lbs before surgery)

I lost 15 lbs by my first post op appointment, but I only gained 3-4 lbs from the liquids. It depends how much you gain from that because you'll lose the liquids first before any actual weight.
