When do you start losing weight?

[Christa Deterding 2]

Hi! I had me sleeve surgery on the 2nd and am VERY disguraged. I had lost 12lbs during my fasting the week before it. I had a minor complication and was on IV fuilds for 2 days longer than I should have. I came home 20lbs heavier than when I went in. I have lost 98% of the Water weight but thats it. My measurements have not changed much. I have been doing everything I am suppose to be doing. So, when will I actually start losing weight?

Try to stay off the scale for a bit if you can.

I lost 10 lbs in the 2 weeks before surgery but know I gained it all back & more from the gas and IV's in the hospital.

I could barely button the shirt that I wore in to the hospital when I left.

I only stayed 1 night.

I waited til my 2 week follow up appointment at the Dr's office to weigh in and saw a loss then.

After that I only weighed in once a week for at least 4 months.

Good luck on your journey!

It's true all those fluids balloon you up. Also, it's normal to lose the first week and stall around the 2nd & 3rd week as your body adjusts.

I had no idea about this and it is good to know. Sheeze our bodys do go through alot.

I would stay off the scale for a few weeks.

My surgeon told me to stay off the scale for a bit, because of the fluids and gas they pump you up with. No worries...it will happen for you soon.
