Weight lost?

[PrettyMe 18]

How long after having RNY do you notice any weight loss? I lost 16 lbs before my surgery, and couldn't even tell.

What you're seeing, or more accurately "not seeing", is the delay between your weight loss and your brain's recognition of a new "body image". Sometimes it can take a while. Lots of folks have noted that friends and family make comments of dramatic changes while they really don't see it so much. Your brain will catch up. In the meantime both scale and non-scale victories will reassure you that you are indeed losing weight. You're gonna love the new you!!

Thank you! Maybe that's what Im looking for, some reassurance that i am actually losing.. My family thinks im crazy because Im only 5 days post op and wanting to notice a difference lol...but in time it will come.

I've lost almost 100 lbs since my surgery and I still can't see it. I see the numbers, I see the inches, but I can't seem to see the loss on my body. It's very frustrating. All I can see sometimes is how much more I have to lose. I can see it in pictures, but looking in the mirror, I just see fat.

And now it's time to talk to my therapist, haha.

Yes I'm having the same thing. I've lost 50 now and no one but my close friends and family have said anything. I'm guessing no one else notices either.

I've lost about 26 pounds in the past 3 weeks since surgery. No one notices I do notice that my clothes are looser, my shoes are looser, and my boobs seem smaller, but no one has said anything to me yet.

I have only lost 14 lbs since my surgery. I will be a month post op on Thursday. I am feeling very frustrated. I came home from the hospital at 324. I'm at 306 this morning. I lost more on the 2 week liquid diet per-op than I have in a month after. Depressing.

Ugh..yeah...Im feeling like thats going to b my situation. I mean looking in the mirror now, my stomach sticks out way more than it did pre op...although im on a liquid diet still...my scale stopped working so im not sure if ive lost any weight, but just looking at me, it sure doesn't look like it...but i guess i gotta b patient.

I'm having the same issue. All I see in the mirror is piles of fat and lots of cellulite. Grateful for losing so much weight but wish I could see it. Could be so much worse, right?

You might be a slow and steady loser. Give it time, it will come off. I know it's earlier said then done but don't lose faith.

It was 60 lbs before people started to notice on me. The closer you get to goal weight the more people will notice the 5 lb loses. It's frustrating but patience is key
