No weight loss

[Shilatte 25]

I am almost one week post opt . I went into surgery at 315lb , left hospital at 321lb from all the IV fluids . I still weight 319. I don't know what to do , shouldn't I have lost more by now ?

I would not worry. That's about where I was at and it will start to come off. Give it a little more time. Hang in there.

IV fluids cause me to have a whole lot of Water retention too. Drink your liquids as advised (more if you can) and it will come off.

It's normal what you should do IMOP is stay off of that scale! It will make you crazy, you should focus on healing right now. Good luck!

I agree with the others, you need more time. Please don't worry!

Don't weigh yourself all the time. Pick one day a week as soon as you wake up and weigh yourself.

There are too many daily fluctuations based on intake, and output. Your nutritionist or therapist should have advised you on this.

Weighing yourself every day is a fast track to a multitude of issues.

Don't worry it took me a good couple weeks to start noticing any difference after my surgery. I am just over a month out I was 261 going in on June 11th and am now 231. It really does take awhile for all the gas to leave the body and start showing weight loss. Expect their to be stalls as well I stopped losing for a week and got really depressed but it coming off again now. They say that it was because I wasn't getting enough Water intake so make sure you drink the required amount so you don't retain more then you need to. Hang in their it will come off. I have too try to remember that too
