How fast is too fast? Speed of wt loss

I was banded 6 days ago, but I've lost 40 lbs since Aug 1st doing low carb/pre-op diet. That's a lot in only 2 months!!! What is too fast? Will this slow down soon?

Not sure how much IS too much, I do know the bigger you are the faster you lose in the beginning, so yes, it will slow down.

This really makes me go back and follow a low-carb lifestyle again.

If you're losing weight in a healthy manner- enough calories, enough Protein, not junk calories- then don't worry about the speed at which you lose. Your body will regulate itself soon enough and you'll miss the days the weight just melted off,

For the record, I lost 44 pounds in the first 6 weeks after surgery and continued to lose at least 20 pounds a month for the first 6 months. Now, I am lucky if I lose 5-8 pounds a month. The lower the scale goes the slower the weight come off because your body is much more resistant to let it go.

You're fine

The 100 carbs or lower per day diet melted it right off. Definitely try it again! It helped me get into control of my eating--I felt like a drug addict with sugar and carbs. I've been sugar free since Aug 1st and feel better than ever.

Mis, yes I am being healthy--just worried about getting my Protein and liquids in. I guess I will feel better once I move thru the stages.

It will get A LOT easier once you're past the post op diet, I promise. I know when I was on the liquids and mushy phases I was lucky to get in maybe 30-40g of Protein per day. It was just really hard!

You're doing really great!

100 grams of carbs, plus the Protein requirements, plus healthy fats, PLUS Water.... Sheesh!! It sounds like SO MUCH food vs what we had before, and it never seem to be enough.... I LOVE MY BAND!!

Btw, I've been in my closet today (the side I DON'T use) and I've tried about 4 old jeans.... They all fit!! STOKED!

Currently getting I'm my swimsuit to take the daughter & nephew to the Y
