OK so I had surgery Thursday February 13 and I haven't lost any weight yet. I've actually gained 2lbs. Since surgery day. Is this normal?

Swelling and edema and fluids from operation. You probably won't see scale move for at least a week... I didn't. I was sleeved Feb 4 and so was another girl I knew. Neither one of us lost weight first week and a half. It will come off don't you worry. How are you tolerating your diet? You on full liquids now?

I had mine on the 12th. I am refusing to weigh myself until my 2week post op. My hands are so swollen I don't think weighing myself would do me any good. Just keep your chin up so to speak . From everything I've been reading what we are going through is perfectly normal at this point.

Ok I thought I was doing something wrong. Yes I'm on Clear Liquids and have been tolerating them just fine thank goodness. I haven't had an issue keeping my liquids or Vitamins down. I'm going to stop weighing myself because I'm getting obsessive.

I was sleeved last Wed-the 12th. I am down 15 since then. Are you taking walks at all? That's what I've been doing to get things moving.

Wow! Yea I've been walking and sticking to my full liquids. I def feel swollen still and TMI constipated. I was discharged Saturday morning and immediately weighed myself and was up 2 lbs from thurs. Today it weighed myself and was down the 2 lbs hopefully it continues to go down. The only good thing is that my blood sugar has been going down.

I've had to do it all inside since we've had over 2 ft of snow since I was sleeved. I've been walking around the house-stairs around the living areas. Yesterday was the first day driving. I was walking around the whole time at my daughters soccer tournament. Little steps add up. I've got a phone app that will automatically track how much I walk as long as it's in my pocket too.

      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.
