2 wks. Post-Op down 30lbs.

Hi All, I can't believe it, 30lbs gone forever. I knew this was going to happen fast, but never in a million years did I expect 30 lbs in 2 weeks. WOW am I excited. (Smiling) I just wanted to share with everyone. JS

Congratulations!!! I had surgery on the 24th of December and I am just starting to see the results on my scale. After all the IV fluids, my actually weight is starting to drop but I am losing inches. My clothes are looser and I got into a smaller pair of jeans tonight. So Progess!!!!!!! Yes.!!!!!!! Isn't it great!! Like you said--- gone forever. Good luck in future weight loss and to being much thinner in the coming months Pat

That's great. I'm down 23 lbs in a month (I had my surgery 12/5). Last week I felt like I was retaining water, because I wasn't seeing much weight loss, even a little gain. Now, over the weekend, I drank a lot of water, and that helped. Friday I was 273.6, and today I'm 268.2. I'm sure I didn't drop 5 1/2 lbs in a few days, but it felt good today to see the scale!

That is great! Good for you =0)! I had mine on 12/17/03 and I lost 15 the first 2 weeks. How much are you walking? How much water are you getting in?

Hi Alicia, I'm getting my 64 oz of fluid in a day plus 80 grams of protein and walking one rather large city block a day, but I'm on my feet most of the day just doing housewrok, laundry, cooking, etc. I feel like I'm never still. (Smiling) I just cut back to 40 grams of protein a day and that seemed to put me on a Plateau. But 30 lbs is quick in two weeks. I don't mind the plateau, because it gives my skin a chance to catch up to my weight loss. JS

Congrats on your progress I had surgery the day after you and I am down 25LBS it is great I wish you continued success. Wasia LAP RNY 12-17-03 Dr,Waldrep 304/279/???
