2 weeks post-op

Well I'm alive, feeling pretty well and it's my first day back to work. Only downside is that I'm not losing as fast as others. I actually came home from the hospital a few lbs higher than I went in. I'm down about 9 lbs (pre-op) and 12 (coming home weight). Patience has always been my worst virtue. But with coming back to work and walking more and more every day, hopefully it will come off soon enough. Good luck and God Bless all those recoverying also.

I am also 2 weeks out and i am feeling really good. I also gained the day of surgery 15# I could have just cried! Here I was to lose and gaining not a good thing! I am now 18# down plus I lost the extra 15# so that is good. how are you doing getting your protein in? I was at my dr appt yesterday and picked up some pro-stat, it has 15g of protein in 2 tbls. That is so much better than those nasty shakes! Some are not to bad but others I can barely choke down! I have been walking a couple of blocks 2x day, I took 4 weeks off work so I am enjoying walking and just chilling out! Good Luck with your journey! God Bless

Well, I was worried that I wasn't losing as fast as some. It isn't abnormal for you to come home a little higher because you gain some from the anesthia and the IV. So, please don't fret over that. I went to my PCP on Monday and I'm down 13 pounds. At first, I was disappointed, especially when a surgery twin went to the doctor and lost 32. But, just because your beginning numbers are small don't mean they will always be. Just make sure you pump your water, protein and your activity. It will come off. We didn't put it on in a day and it's not coming off in a day. Also, just remember that whatever your loss is - that is the most that you have lost in just two weeks I'm sure than on any other bogus diet you have tried in the past. Just count your blessings and it will come off.
