WHAT IS NORMAL WEIGHT LOSS : WEEK 2

Hello,

I was wondering what you lost the first 2 weeks after your surgery? Please share  what you lost. I do not wait by a scale, but weekly or bi-weekly progress, I would think is important.

Thank you all for the support and input!!!

I am exactly 2 weeks out today. Lost 10 pounds since operation. Most in the last few days. Nurse said weight loss really starts after 3 weeks. body is defending itself from the surgery and holding water at first?

 beelitehobbies, thank you....interesting information.  Had not seen it like that...THANK YOU!!! 

I lost 10 lbs the first week. I'm 8 weeks in now and have lost 40 lbs. I have 20 to go. In full disclosure I lost 40 lbs before my surgery. Be patient and do what you doctor says and all will be fine.

Ok, Cliff so you would say after the first few weeks the weight lost starts???  Did you you do anything special?

I had my surgery on a Thursday. By Sunday I was down 10 lbs. On the next Thursday I was the same weight. Then it dropped for a few days the a stall. Don't worry about this even a bit as long as you are following your doctor's plan and don't put as much emphasis on the scale...it will come.

Cliff, thank you so much for the insight, it's always good to see how others are doing to get an idea of what this is all about.  Thank you!

You are very welcome. I'm very new to posting but my surgery went well and worked very well. I read this site nearly every day for support. I just want to give back a little bit.

Cliff and I really appreciate that.  This forum is here for us to get support.  No question is a dumb question and we call all learn from one another.  Thank you again.

Whatever weight you lose is normal for you - and that's really all that matters!  Comparing yourself to others will only bring pain and frustration.
