I'm 4 weeks post op and I lost weight rapidly the first 2 weeks or so. I

lost 19 pounds but then quickly stabalized by eating more calories. You can't

watch your calorie intake post-op because your body need those calories post-op

to heal. I'd suggest waiting until you are healed to do any weightloss. My

surgeon was very adamant about the weightloss, he told me to add ice cream to

my shakes and to load up on calories because if not, my healing would take

longer. I don't know about you, but I'd like to heal as soon as possible so

that I can eat solid food again! :-D
