Went for my 2 week post op visit with my surgeon yesterday and I lost 18lbs. I feel like that is not enough I have read some people on here have lost like 25 lbs on there to week visit. And I like that was not enough weight but my surgeon said that was good. I don't know how to feel

Well don't fell bad I went to visit the doctor 11 days after surgery and I was only down 9lbs. I was told I'm still retaining fluids. I have another vist on the 1st. I will let you know how I did.

So you lost more than one pound per day and you feel like that's not enough? Who have you read lost 25 pounds in two weeks? I sure haven't seen that often! It sounds like maybe your expectations are not very realistic.

there are some people who don't lose 18 lbs in the first month let alone 2 weeks. Someone here used to post an expectation chart that said 20 lbs the first MONTH, 10 lbs for months 2,3,4,5.

Any way you look at it it's a good number.

If a person weighed 400+ pounds and you were 200+ pounds who do you think would lose the most weight the first week? Please do not compaire your weight loss to anyone else. There are way too many things that go into that. Age is another one. We older folks with the life style we have is not the same as someone going to work everyday. You are doing just great. OH, and stay off the scale. Just weigh no more than once a week, it will drive you crazy if you do.

You should feel awesome, you're 18 lbs lighter then you were 2 weeks ago. What diet or program have you been on where that has happened. You're doing great

18 pounds in 2 weeks is fantastic...please adjust your expectations drink your water, get in your protein, and move your body. Everyone one is different.

I have my surgery on the 20th but, my doctors and all the papers/booklets I've recived all say do not compare your weight loss with other people's. You've only walked a small part in a long journey you still have a long way to go so please don't get discouraged. You can do it!
