weight loss ?

I am 10 days post- op how much weight did you loose at this point. I know everyone is different. I came home weighing almost 20 pounds more than the day I had surgery. I have been dealing with gas issues and being bloated. I was 3 days post-op before I passed gas, and 5 days post-op before having a BM. I have to take Mira Lax everyday to pass gas and have a BM. Sorry if to much info. This morning I weighed only 3 pounds more than the day of surgery. I am just wondering. I drink 2 to 3 Premier Protein shakes, over 64 oz. I have either sugar free Jello, Low fat cottage cheese, light yogurt ,or a sugar free popsicle. So I don't know if I am doing anything wrong or what.

I had surgery on Monday, finally had a bowel movement on Friday, I weighed myself today at home and I'm only 4 pounds more than what I weighed right before surgery. I however haven't been drinking enough nor sleeping enough. My belly is very distended, almost twice the size and deal with lots of gas. I would contact your surgeon with your concerns.

I am also on ducosate stool softeners not miralax, and only on apple juice, water, sf jello, sf popsicles, Gatorade

Thank you Lishamc 1

Congrats on having your surgery! I wish you great success! Just a note: apple juice is not the most productive thing for you to be drinking, as it's pretty much pure sugary carbs. It's best to avoid juices for weight loss.

Thank you, I do not drink it often, helps get pills down easier and helping me get my liquid intake in at this time

I saw him Tuesday and he also called me Thursday and told me to continue with the Mira Lax. I see him again on the 26th.

So, you've lost 17 lbs since you got home. That sounds pretty great to me!

I figured I had extra 20 pounds from being bloated and full of gas.

A lot of it is fluids they pump into you during surgery, and that is perfectly normal. But the point is you've lost 17 pounds since you got home. That is great. Now that most or all of the fluid is gone, keep to your plan and you will start seeing a difference.
