How long?

[albare1978 22]

How long did it take for you to start seeing a drop in weight? I'll be 2 weeks out on Monday and figured I would drop more than 2 lbs since surgery. Not only that, but clothes that were too loose before surgery and too tight now. It's frustration and discouraging.

Hmm. I'm two weeks out today and I've lost 22 lbs per my surgeon at my post op appt today. That would be discouraging to me also. I wonder if there is anyone else who has experienced what you're going through.

Are you on Clear liquids? What are your days like? Have you spoken to your surgeon about your concern?

What diet stage are you on? How much Protein are you getting? What about fluids? What do you eat/drink on a typical day? Are you walking?

Surgery is traumatic on your body. You are pumped with fluids, gas and your swollen. All this can effect your weight.

I had read and heard about the 20 plus pound weight loss in the first few weeks...and I was excited! However, it didn't happen for me. I am 3 and a half weeks now and it is starting a steady drop....slower but better than I have done in the last 20 years.

I was upset the first two week too. I was asking why I went through all of this to lose a few pounds while eating 300 calories a day.

If you could stand to put your scale away please do so! I promise it will start to come off. The body is in shock and what you need to do is let it heal...
