I have lost 10 lbs since surgery two weeks post op today. I feel like it should be more, but I have not really started on walking yet and plan on that today. Should I be dropping more?
I was on full liquid for one week and started purée the 2 week. I’ll be on purée for one more week then will be on soft foods.
TIA

Sounds about right to me. I am averaging about 4lbs a week(3.7) at the 8 week mark. That includes 3 stalls 5-10 days each. Good luck!

We have no context as to why you think it should be more? How tall are you? How much did you lose in pre-op stage? What was surgery day weight?

I think we sometimes set unrealistic expectations of ourselves and regardless of what info I asked for above, I think 10lb two weeks post op is excellent, be kind to yourself.

I had lost ten pounds exactly at my two week post op appointment and the doctor was happy.

I don't remember what i lost the first two weeks, but the first MONTH I lost 16 lbs. That's pretty normal. It seems most of us lose somewhere in the 15-25 lb range the first month. Of course, you'll always find some who lose more or less than that, but that seems to be about the norm. At 10 lbs down during the first two weeks, you'll likely end up in that range at the end of four weeks, too - so, your loss is absolutely normal.

I’m 6’1”, weight was 270 on April 5th surgery date. I’m on a 3 day stall now, weighing 257. Consuming around 700 to 800 per day.

I think it depends on your size as well. For me for example, my surgery weight was 396lbs. In my first week post op, I lost 18lbs which my surgeon said it was normal especially for my size and now 2 weeks post op I have lost a total of 35lbs. But it does depend on the person and I think that you are doing fantastic :)

I had the 3 week stall in week 2. Stayed the same for an entire week. Now in Week 5 I'm moving down pretty well. It's not a race. Just do what they told you and slow and steady wins out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
