17lbs..1week post op

Hi Everyone... I am exactly one week post op and of course couldn't help but to weigh myself....my home scales say i lost 17lbs...could this be correct?

Most definately. I'm 10 days post op and lost 20 lbs so far. Keep up the good work!

Hi... Congrats!! I will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow. I lost 20lbs..but over the last few days it has significantly slowed down. I was losing about 2-3lbs a day..and now just a few ounces a day. I am still following the diet and I wasn't sure how much my body would let go of initially... but yeah... it has been nice. I weigh myself every morning. It's nice to look forward to it! ha Jen

My doc said it is destructive to weight yourself more than once weekly. No need to focus on slow downs yet, usually if you aren't loosing fat you are gaining muscle mass, which will look like you are at a plateau when you are not.

Sure it can be correct! Congrats on the loss!! Jacquie

Hello, Don't worry...you're scale is fine and so are you. I had surgery on 11-11-04 and when I went back to have my staples removed on 11-18-04 I had lost a total of 16 pounds. I was so excited you would have thought I'd hit the lottery. Don't worry...you're doing just fine and keep up the good work. Cassandra

Ya'll sound like you are doing great. I am one week post-op today and I am down 30lbs. This does include my pre-op diet that I started on 11/15/04.

Hey Kenneth, Welcome! I just read your profile, and wanted to say welcome. I hadn't seen your posts before. Congrats to both you and April for your new journey together. Lori PS FYI Your profile still says "date scheduled"
