Am I loosing weight to fast?



Recommended Posts

First off I'm new to the forum and was recently banded. I had my Surgery about two weeks ago the 5th to be exact. I'm loosing weight extreemly quickly. I was weighed at the hospital at 303 and this morning I weighted in at 274. That's nearly thirty pounds in two weeks.

I feel fine and it's really nice to be able to fit into my old clothes but I'm just concerned that I'm loosing weight to fast. Should I be concerned or just happy?

Just be happy. As long as you lose it and don't put it back on, and don't yoyo, most of the stuff about not losing it too fast can be put to one side.

After only 2 weeks you are most likely of mushy or soft foods. As long as you are able to get your Protein in, at least 1000 calories and drink the recommended amounts of Water, I really don't think you need to worry. Just enjoy it! It will slow down soon enough.

The weight does come off rather quickly while on liquids, especially if you have a lot to lose. Nice job on your weight loss success so far. I wouldn't worry unless you don't feel well. If that is the case, then definitely contact your doctor.

Enjoy your immediate success... Most people say it comes off more quickly in the beginning. The amount you are losing might also have something to do with the amount you are hoping to lose. That is, the more you have to lose, the faster you tend to lose...

You are about where I was. Once I started back on soft foods then regular foodsit levels out. I then only lost 3 lbs from the 2 week mark to the first fill. I don't think that I have restriction yet. Maybe after fill #2 on 4/7. You are doing great but PLEASE don't feel dissapointed when it slows down. Keep up the good work!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
