When does the weight loss start?
i had surgery on the 22nd (4days ago) and am feeling great.....a little sore yet, but overall pretty good. I started walking more intentionally.....30 minutes this morning, albeit slow. When did you all start to see weight coming off. I am not expecting miracles here and know I have a lot of work to do but was wondering what your post op loss rates and times looked like.
i had my surgery on a thursday and weighed myself the next monday and had lost 10lbs within 4 days.
The scale and I never had a healthy relationship, and the first month post op was a lot of the same for us, teasing me then disappointing me. After a month out we are working on repairing our past, getting along much better and telling eachother what we want to hear. Long story short, ignore that stupid thing for a month (at least). I wish I did, I let it concern me a few times and effect my mood all while in my head I knew I was doing everything to plan. I weigh now once a week just to monitor how things are going, but the focus remains the same, on the lifestyle change and not on that piece of junk.
i had surgery on 21st also and have already lost 9 pounds!!! im real happy and excited about this!! and i cant wait to keep seeings better numbers on the scale!!!
It is very variable. Some people really retain a lot of fluids from surgery and IV. I personally didn't... and lost about 10lbs the first week... then I stalled for 3 1/2 weeks... thought I was going to lose my mind. SO do what you are supposed to do and it will happen. The first month can be very variable, then the second month I lost more.

The weight started coming off as soon as I was home from hospital.
wihtin the first 6 months, I lost 60 pounds but the weight REALLY started to fly off between months 6-10 when I started to incorporate weight training and running into my routine. Even though I lost more poudns in the beginning, it was not proportional to my overall wieght (fat person, some weight loss)versus smaller person same 2 lbs a week lost.
Exercise will really help you.
