Losing Weight To Quick?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I was banded on the June 25th 2012 and I've lost 26 pounds already. Should I be alarmed?

You will lose pretty quick at first but it will slow down. You just don't want to lose too quickly or your skin will hang off you instead of having time to firm back up

no it all depends on ur starting weight if your on the heavier side its easier to lose a lot of weight fast also during the beginning its really common to lose a lot of weight fast because your body is shocked by the changes in diet. as long as your taking your Vitamins and getting your Protein and Water in i say enjoy the pounds melting off so easy because later come the plateaus now those are frustrating

I wouldn't worry about it. I've lost 116 pounds in 6 months and I'm doing just fine despite how quickly I've lost the weight so far.

With your weight loss did you take any supplements or something or you was just strickly maintaining with the lapband alone.

      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.
