1st week post vsg surgery...

Have not lost a single lb:(

Don’t be discouraged. If you follow the guidelines set out by your doctor and nutritionist the weight will come off.

I'm 5 days out and have only lost 1lb. I'm a bigger girl (369 day of surgery) so I expected to lose quickly early on. I also didn't lose much during preopt though I followed it to the letter. There is this fear that you will have done all of this and still not lose. I realize it is still very early so I am trying to give the process time. But I do understand your disappointment. It seems the early losses are what motivate people to get through these tough early days. We will just have to stick it out- we've already come this far!

Oh, I feel for both of u. I feel the exact same way and@ready2live! broke down perfectly the thoughts that are going thru my head. Hell, I'm 3 weeks out and only down 13lbs. [emoji52] I too thought I would lose a good amount of weight relatively quickly, as I am also following my plan to the letter. But alas, I guess my body's on its own timetable. Discouraging as hell too! [emoji34] Makes me doubt my decision daily.
And people keep saying not to worry, don't get discouraged, chill out the lbs will come off, etc, etc. I really hope they're right...

I was still bloated from gas at one week. Give yourself a few more days. It will come off!

I wouldn’t bother much about the weight loss at this moment, focus on recovery instead. I had my sleeve on Wed and feel exhausted. A 20 minutes walk feels like a marathon to me.

Besides, a slower progress is said to be much better and efficient long term - less skin sacks, less stress for your body. just give it some time.

Thank you Temkins. I agree on the walking lol

I am healing up right along side you:)

I wish you a speedy recovery:)

It's so crazy how everyone's body and VSG differ. I had mine 10/03 and am down 15.6 lbs since the 1st. 9 of those lbs. are after the procedure. I try to get at least 5,000 steps in from my daily 10,000. I get too tired to do anything else. I cannot wait to get in the gym.

Me too, but a single walk along the street and back makes me feel extreme exhaustion. The treadmill would just kill me

It’ll happen I was lucky enough to have gained 5 lbs after surgery so I understand your pain but now I am down 40lbs 3 months out. Its coming don’t beat yourself up too bad and make sure to exercise no matter what.
