Yes, it happens, especially if you are on a very strict plan. Some are more strenuous than others.

I only lost 10 lbs on my preop, but I literally have an almost zero metabolism as my adrenal glands were burned out from years of medications.

However, post op, I'm now down 50 lbs at 9 weeks. Hello!!! Best. Decision. Ever.

Good luck!!!

I finished at 20 lbs for two weeks, the surgeons were quite happy with how much my liver had shrunk. I'm 3 days post op and seem to be making a speedy recovery. Stick to the pre op shakes it will help with post surgery recovery. Good luck everyone.

I am on day 5 of shakes and calorie free beverages. I'm hungry but not starving. I have snuck a couple of bites from my kids' food. I am down 12 pounds thus far. It's gonna be a long 9 days.

I do not have a surgery date because surgery is contingent on my shake diet results. Hopefully I can get it done soon!!

I have my first appointment June 27th and I excited and scared all at the same time. I am a struggling type 2 diabetic and my weight is 307. My doctor feels this will be the right decision for me.

I am just starting week 2 of my 2 week plan. Surgery is next Monday 6/13. I have lost 13 lbs since I started last week. Im also surprised by how much I've lost. I expected a little the first two or three days, but I expected it to taper off as the week went on...hopefully it just keeps going this week and onto post op!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
