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.

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

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
