Hey Donna! I had my RNY-lap on 4-27-04, came home on the 29th and lost 10 lbs on the 30th. On May 2nd I had lost a nother 10lbs. I'm walking too, have had no problems with my liquids, but I'm still sore on my left side. But everyone is different, so keep up the good work, and remember, when it comes off, it comes off good. God Bless, Katy

Donna, I weighed myself after one week - I had lost 12 lbs. I had my surgery on 4/15 and am down 23 lbs. You might try an old fashioned red ho****er bottle on your tight muscles. It really helped me. Good luck!

Hi Donna, Hope you are feeling well. I started losing weight immediately becasue I had really bad edema and I purged all of my water the first day. (I need the bed pan every hour on the hour the first day). However, I had a friend that didn't start losing until her second or third week. Everyone is different, but the beauty is, we all end up losing it either way! Good luck Rachel
