jpaps20 20 Posted November 14, 2016 I was just sleeved on November 7, a week ago today. To date I have only lost 5 pounds since my surgery day. What has everyone else lost within their first week? For some reason I expected to lose a little bit more than just five in a week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heidikat72 935 Posted November 14, 2016 I lost nothing in the first two weeks. You likely came out of the hospital weighing more than when you went in thanks to the IV fluids. Plus you just had a major surgery - your body is focusing on healing not weightloss. This first month focus on healing and hitting your Protein and Fluid targets and don't worry about the scale yet. Plus, 5lbs in a week is pretty decent weightloss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted November 14, 2016 I didn't even get on the scale for the first several weeks after surgery because I knew the results (or lack thereof) would make me crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
laceemouse 631 Posted November 14, 2016 I was just sleeved on November 7, a week ago today. To date I have only lost 5 pounds since my surgery day. What has everyone else lost within their first week? For some reason I expected to lose a little bit more than just five in a week My guess is you lost during your pre-op diet too. Your body was already used to eating really low calorie. To answer your question I lost 7.5 pounds the first week. But I only had a 3 day, easy pre-op diet. Some people lose a lot of weight pre-op, I hardly lost any. My total 2 weeks post-op is 19 pounds since my highest weight. I am only going to weigh once a week until at least week 6. I am struggling to get my Water and Protein in, there is no way I could eat less. I could walk more but no strenuous exercise for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poginut 112 Posted November 15, 2016 Right now is not the time to worry about losing weight. Just concentrate on recovery and before you know it alot of weight has gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
