Weight loss

[paulineiw]

Hi, had the bypass on the 6th June and have lost around 24lb including the liver reduction diet, maybe I am being impatient but I have not lost anything for 4 days now and I am worried that I am eating too much or is this normal? I am trying very hard to stick to the recommended diet, had no dumping or sickness at all so I am lucky on that count! Am I being impatient, what weight loss should I expect? Thanks Pauline

hi pauline, i had my bypass 13th may and have lost 34lb including pre-op, i went 2wks without losing any weight the 2nd week after my op i was really upset by this but then the following week i lost 3lb then 3lb the following wk so you just have to be patient i think the average loss is 3.5lb a week after your op. also think you should only weigh yourself once a week but i know its tempting! ive been lucky like you no sickness at all and am now trying to eat normal food. hope this helps.
