2 weeks out..not a pound lost!?



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm beginning to think I'm the only person who will not lose weight from this!Officially been 2 weeks since my surgery, I weighed today and am the same as right before I had surgery! :( what is going on here? I keep seeing other people post about all the weight they were dropping....and I haven't lost a pound.

No complications, been walking every day, taking meds and food are within my allowed range...what gives?! Has anyone else not seen a drastic drop right away or is it just me?! :/

Completely normal. They pump you full of IV fluids at the hospital, your body is healing from surgery, it is all normal. Some people don't see a loss until maybe 4 weeks out. It will happen!

It depends on what you are eating your not supposed to eat anything mostly drinking your food like yogurt eggs, protein

Well, I think mine was a combo of the fluids + pms/period. Of course that started about 10 days after surgery, period ended yesterday and I weighed this morning and was already down 1lb, so hopefully now that's all out of the way I will see more progress :)

I am two week out tomorrow and I have not lost any since I have been home from the hospital. The day I went in to the hospital I had already lost 5 pounds from the pre-liquid diet. Then in the hospital I was down 5 more pounds. So now for the last 10 - NO LOSS. I am glad I am not the only one.

What have you been eating? or drinking, should I say?

God no not still on liquids only...who does liquids only for 17 days after!? Lol

I have a Premier Protein drink, Soup, pureed Beans, smashed avocado yogurt etc...all things that are allowed at this point. Like I said I think mine was a combination of all the fluids - I was hella swollen from hospital - and my time of the month following surgery by BARELY more than a week. I refuse to weigh daily - I would get obsessed and then depressed if it wasn't as fast as other people - but I will weigh weekly and keep track of it, so next week is next weigh in :)

I had two weeks of rapid weight loss and then a week and a half of nothing. I was concerned, but my surgeon also said not to worry about it; that hormones and Water intake make a huge difference and that day-to-day fluctuation can be more severe than we anticipate. Glad to see your numbers are starting to move! And I was on Clear Liquids for 16 days after surgery, lol.
