I'm Home :dance:

Surgery went great....Thanks for all your prayers.....I feel that thru this forum I have been able to talk to people who truly know how I feel and what things to expect...for that, again, I thank you all. Now I have a new question...when does the weight really start coming off? I weighed the day before my surgery and then again this morning (5 days postop) and I am only down 1/2 lb. BUT my blood sugar is in the normal range and I am off my meds. SO I am excited about that. Just wondering when this bloated, gassy, part passes and the weight starts dropping? Again, thanks a bunch for all your support. We are a unique family.

Congrats, Cindy! So glad things are going well! I gained 13 lbs OVERNIGHT in the hospital! It was a bit depressing, lol.....even though I knew it would come back off, the bloat feeling was the pits! Ok, now I am 10 days out...........lost the 13 lbs of fluid, and also 11 lbs of me!! So, you are probably thinner than when you came in, even though it does not show on the scales yet as you still have the post surgery fluid. Give it 5 more days..............you'll see........ Great about the blood sugar!

I really don't know that either. I haven't been weighed on a scale yet but my face has gone down and the top or my shoulders seem to be going down. The weight always comes off there first. I wi**** was my tummy. LOL When is your post-op check up with your surgeon??? Shannon

You've probably got some gas to get rid of, and then the weight will literally just fall off. I am 9 days out and 13 lbs. lighter. 9 of those pounds in the last 3 days. Congrats on starting your journey. I'm glad your surgery went well and that you're feeling fine.
