My surgery was Wed. and out of curiosity I weighed myself after my shower this morning and I'm 7 pounds down from my surgery day. My goals are long term so I'm not even gonna try to keep track daily or weekly or anything, today I was just curious. LOL

I saw my surgeon today to get my drains removed, they weighed me and I'm up 6 lbs since surgery day. I'm not going to freak...hopefully when I see her again in 2 weeks, This procedure (and the fact I'm on a very low cal plan these weeks...all liquids) will have kicked in...and there will be some kind of loss.

I plan to track myself weekly.

I'm so glad you posted. I am five days out and weighed myself today and have only lost 1 pound. Omg are you kidding. I'm having 70 grams of protein and 500 calories a day. I am 59 so perhaps thats the reason. Good luck to you with your new body.

I'm 5 days post op....my drain comes out the 26th. I can't get protein in. I weighed myself Thursday am, and I gained 6lbs since surgery. My doc called yesterday and suggested unflavored protein....any suggestions. I cant handle the new whey

In having the same issue with protein. It took me 7 hrs to drink 26 gr....and the shakes are now making me nauseous. I bought the unflavored unjury...haven't tried it yet. I also got the chicken flavored...I make like soup and eat with a baby spoon. I can do 1/2 a scoop in 4 oz of liquid....

I weigh myself daily and record it once a week on Wednesdays as that is the day I had surgery. I don't think I weighed myself day 1 being home, but certainly that week. Just can't let it freak you out, esp. in the beginning. One week after surgery I went into a 3 1/2 week plateau. I was sure I was the one this wasn't going to work for. My doc kept saying he wasn't worried. Obviously I got past it. Congrats on being on the other side.
