Cervidae 2,389 Posted September 5, 2015 I've only been weighing myself once a week since my scale is broken and I go to my doctor's office to get weighed. So I don't know what I am at the momement but at exactly two weeks it was ten pounds. I'm sure it's more now, as it's been almost another whole week and all my undies are already starting to be too big. XD but yeah, ten pounds in 14 days, though it was probably more than that because you gain a few pounds in the hospital from the iv fluids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Faithoftheheart 42 Posted September 6, 2015 I lost 20 pounds during my two week pre-op diet. I was shocked I lost that much because I did struggle a bit while I was on it. I had RNY on August 13th and since then have lost an additional 18lbs.. I have wondered how in the world I managed to lose 20 in two weeks before surgery then in the 3 weeks since not lose another 20 but then I realized I was needlessly focusing on numbers which I shouldn't be doing. I think I know why. Before the two week pre-op diet I didn't make any attempt to change my diet. I had food funerals and drank my beloved orange soda. The last thing I ate was a snickers bar and an orange crush... Since then I haven't had an ounce of soda no sweets or even a desire for a sweet. I have had savory cravings but I think I finally have convinces myself I can control it.. I am five weeks since my pre-op diet and have almost 40 pounds gone to show for it when I look at it that way I have to be satisfied. After all it took me years to get here its gonna take some work to get it off. Good luck and be patient and make the best choice for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
