Msmom01 1 Posted October 18, 2018 I’m a little over 1 week post op. I lost 20 pounds on my pre-op liquid diet. Since returning home from surgery I haven’t lost ANY weight. I have gotten all 64 oz Fluid and 60 grams Protein in every single day and I’m walking atleast 1 mile daily. What am I doing wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing you are doing wrong is worrying. Just relax and stop stressing over weight loss, focus on healing first. Don't compare yourself to anyone else... just worry about your diet, do what you have been told to do, and just focus on the more important task, getting yourself healed up from surgery. Everything else will fall in line in due time. 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're doing great! A lot of doctors don't even care about the Protein a little over a week out. It's the lack of hydration that kills people and you've got that licked. Keep up the good work! 1 Wanda247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Msmom01 1 Posted October 18, 2018 Thank you both! Guess I’m second guessing everything and hoping I’m not the one person that won’t lose weight. 1 Ed_NW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaroleS 6 Posted October 18, 2018 Thank you both! Guess I’m second guessing everything and hoping I’m not the one person that won’t lose weight. My friend who is 2.5 years post-op said it took a while for the weight loss to kick in but then it just fell off. You are doing good so just keep it up. I'm 4 days post-op and have only lost 2 oz.Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spatch2813 5 Posted October 19, 2018 I am one week post op. Same type of thing. I think what you are experiencing on the weight is the rehydration process from surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
