How much weight after 1 week post surgery



Recommended Posts

So i have decided to weight myself 1 week post surgery and I have not lost a significant amount of weight. Since last Tuesday I have lost 5 pounds. Is this normai? I am on a liquid diet and getting my Protein and Water in as directed yet still not loosing weight. Any one else having these issues and if so when can I expect a turnaround?

Normal, I was up 7 pounds due to Fluid for over a week after surgery. The next week I dropped those 7 and 8 more. It just takes some time for your body to adjust.

Same here! Not much weight loss at all. Getting everything in as directed, but I guess it's because we are still "surgery swollen". I weight once a week only. I refuse to keep jumping on that thing every day and risk driving myself batsh*t crazy. :)

So next Wednesday, the scale and I have a date. This morning it said "207". Last Wednesday, the day of surgery, it said 210. Okay...putting it away for a week. I am happy to say I've lost a LOT of inches! Yes!!

Ok guys lets put this in perspective... When's the last time you lost 5-7lbs in a week?????

But yes it's totally normal. Anything from a 10lb gain to a 20lb loss is pretty much normal. We are all different!

Normal. I lost 5 pounds my first week as well. Don't think of it as "only" and don't consider 5 pounds a small amount. Pile up 5 pounds of hamburger if you have it in the house or next time your in the grocery store. It's not little.

I found that I started to lose more once I started on whole foods and started walking a bit more.

Ya its normal... I convinced one of the nurses to let me weigh myself the second day in the hospital... She laughed at me and assured me that it was Water weight but I was not going to be happy! Had surgery on Friday and by Sunday afternoon I had gained 15lbs!!! Apparently each IV bag give you about 2.5 lbs (side note: my husband and I couldn't figure out if I had really fat feet or if they were just swollen)

I have weighed myself everyday since I got home and I'm on day 6 now and just below my surgery day weight so now I plan to only see the scale once a week!

Good Luck!

I lost 14 pounds after being weighed at my one week post op follow up appt. Got we weighed today, which is two weeks post op and down another 5. I refuse to be a scale watcher. I trust in the procedure. It's a certainty that I will lose weight if I stay the course. I feel like I have lost more inches than weight. Two weeks post op and I'm very happy with my progress. I feel much much better and am already wearing some old clothes.

I was 6lbs down the first week. I will be 2 weeks this coming Tuesday that will be my next weigh in. I'm very happy with anything. I know this is a slow process and I am in it for the long haul. Be patient by this time next year we will be skinny... Woohoo imagine that ????

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
