I had my surgery(roux-en-y) on January the 28th. The first week home should i have a significant weight loss?  I feel like im not losing and im only drinking shakes/liquids.... any help appreciated

Have you actually weighed yourself? I didnt feel the weight loss the first week either but I definately had. Your body is still dealing with the shock of the surgery, it will happen. :)

Hang in there.

well, i ended up in the hospital for 10 days due to complications.  I lost zero wt. the first 5 days, but then I started dropping pretty quickly.  It's been 8 wks. now and almost 40 pounds.

5lbs a week is great! I have seen some places that estimate 10-15 lbs a month for an average weight loss.

Keep it up!!

Hi. Everyone is different. I hope by now you are seeing/feeling some difference. Your body reacts to surgery in it's own way. Keep the faith!
