Post Op Weight loss?

[coolnessa22 26]

Hi Everyone! I just had my gastric bypass yesterday April 15,2013 and feeling great. Kinda sore here and there but nothing I cant handle.

What I was wondering how much weight did you all lose in two weeks post op? Please share your stories would love to hear them and how you handled everything!

I lost about 7 pounds total those first 2 weeks post-op, I'd lost 14 the 2 weeks pre-op....the lower loss was frustrating at first while people around me were losing 12 a week....but I've come to learn that's just how I work....3 a week is about my average, since its an easy 3 and I'm not starving, I'll take it and consider it a success . I tried to a skip the scales and stick to once or twice a week weigh ins so I didn't go Insane with the readings!!!

Make yourself proud!!!

Oh I hear you...I only lost 10lbs during my pre op and I stuck to it. I just hope I lose at least 10-15lbs post Op, but I feel that is wishful thinking for two weeks post Op. Lol but we got this and I'm sure it will just start falling off

I lost 14 according to the doctors scale, wearing jeans, multiple layers & a jacket. Normally I weigh in only wearing shorts & a tshirt. I was probably down 18-20 if you account for all the layers.

I know...I wish they would let us take 2lbs-3lbs off cause the clothes or let us do it naked so its really calculating our weight and not our weight + clothes.

I lost 15 at my one week post op appointment. I always take off whatever I can, shoes included lol

At two weeks I lost 14lbs and the had a one week stall for week three. I know it's common but ticked me off! LoL

Now I'm three weeks three days and have lost a total of 17lbs. 3lbs in three days.

I've been thinking about getting a scale but I don't want to become consumed and obsessed by numbers which will sabotage my success so I'm not going to buy one

I really don't remember.... I didn't have a smooth recovery so I was more focused on feeling better :-D A year out now I feel great :-)
