When did you notice you were losing weight after the surgery?

[rebecca920 24]

Hi all. The nurses told me not to weigh myself for a few days at least after surgery. I would not show loss because of all the iv fluids they pumped in me at hospital. So I am just curious when any of you noticed weight loss after surgery? Like did you wait a week to weigh yourself? Thanks!

I weighed myself from the get go. I knew I would have excess Water weight. I had 5 extra pounds of it. So the day I got home from the hospital I weighed myself and everyday after.

I dropped the 5 pounds in about 2-3 days and then kept dropping. I'm almost two weeks post-op and I've dropped 35 pounds! It's just whatever you're comfortable with!

Within the first week. I remember gettin dressed a week after surgery and putting on my shirt. I looked in the mirror and it was obvious. I started to cry.

I weighed two days post surgery, when I got home from the hospital. I was shocked to only be 2.9 up. I have weighed every day since.
