How much weight?

[jpaps20 20]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

I lost 14 lbs in the first week then another 10 lbs week 2 then stalled for 2 weeks, you need to remember any loss is a loss so its going the right way
