Weight lose after 2 weeks post op

[mrs.papa923 3]

Ok I'm 2 weeks post op and down 10lbs! Is that good or should I'v lost more? So confused. Though the weight would pour off me!

that's good, remember you did not gain the weight in 1 week.

Just feel like I didn't have surgery!

I'm not hungry until I see food and then when I drink my liquids I don't get that OMG I so full feeling. That's why I feel like I'm not loosing fast enough.

I'm feeling the same way. I had surgery on the 8th of July and I'm also only down 10lbs from my surgery weight. And the past 3 days, I've weighed the same. I've not yet experienced the "full" feeling yet. Satisfied, but not full. I too was expecting a bigger loss by this point... I'm sure it's just our crazy bodies trying to figure out ask out. Not happy about it, but not going to beat myself up over it either. It's a good start to something great!

I too had surgery July 8. I have lost 12 pounds since surgery. I think you are right were you are supposed to be. Are you getting in 64 oz. of liquids each day? I definitely am not. I try the hardest I can but it just is not happening. I am also struggling with getting in my Protein. This is way harder than I thought it would be, but I am still happy to be on the journey.

Having no problem with water!

Still on pure liquids!

I did try some eggs last night and puked my brains out! That an other thing! Puking is not easy! It don't come up! Just heaves! So I guess I'll have to wait until the 29th with some real food and take it one day at a time

I think it varies so much how quickly/slowly/erratically people lose. People with more to lose may lose faster in the beginning but I also have a friend who just had surgery that is much heavier than I am and I lost faster than her in the first two weeks. I'm a relative lightweight but my loss after those first two weeks has averaged about 2 pounds a week. Slower than I'd like but it's going the right way and I can manage my eating, something I've never been able to do before.

Don't set yourself up for disappointment by comparing yourselves to others. If you're very concerned that the weight loss is too slow (10 pounds in 2 weeks is not slow) talk to your doctor. My doctor probably thought I was disappointed in my weight loss because when I went in for my 1 month appointment he said 'if you had come in here at 300-400 pounds, I would have expected a 50 pound weight loss... 22 pounds is more than 10% of your total body weight -- that is GREAT!"

Try to avoid comparing yourself to others and know that the scale will keep moving if you keep to the plan -- food and exercise.

I'm about ten days out now and have lost about 13 lbs from my pre surgery weight. But, remember all those fluids that they pumped into you? Yeah, I gained 20lbs from that. My suggestion is keep your head up, do your best, and remember that a minus is always good! Also, yesterday I was only able to get a few shakes in (2 oz each) to the tube of about 128 calories. That worries me that my body might think I'm starving and start to hold on to everything. I'm also barely clearing 30 oz Water. It's hard, but I will keep trying. Because I have hope!!! I hope you find your comfort!

I saw my Doctor on Thursday for my first Post -op appt. (2weeks). He told he expects a weight loss any where from .5lb to 1 lb a day. Hope this helps.

Your progress sounds great. At this rate you'll lose 20lbs in a month. That's seriously amazing!
