Is This Normal

[WGH3IWDT 93]

I had revision from bad to sleeve on 11/14/16

Since then I've ONLY lost 2.6 lbs. even though I have not been taking in much of anything.

And I GRATEFUL for that lost, just don't understand why it's not more.

Also, I am Extremely Bloated, which also restricts my intake.

Can anyone explain?

Most people get pumped full of IV fluids for surgery, and it can take several days or even a few weeks to lose that Water weight. Many people have lost nothing at your stage, or are even still up in weight from their surgery. The fact that you have lost that much should have you delighted, not upset.

My best advice -- stay off the scale at least for the next few weeks. Your body is still recovering from surgery and you are very likely to be hitting a true stall at about 3 weeks post op (most everyone does). Don't let this early period stress you out. Work hard at following your post-op recovery plan and orders and don't worry about other things right now. Good luck!

I was so disappointed at my first post-op appointment. It was 14 days and I had only lost 7 pounds.

I was told it is normal because of all the swelling and Fluid retention. They must have been right because suddenly I was dropping about 5 pounds a week. It has now slowed down to 1-2 pounds a week at 4 months post-op.
