Can we lose too fast???

I'm not complaining by any means...but am a little concerned. I was sleeved 9 days ago...surgery day I was 252...this morning I was 234...that's 18 lbs already. Should I be concerned???

That's usually a good problem :-)

You will have your biggest, fastest weight loss in the 2 weeks after surgery. Then you will probably stall and worry that the surgery isn't working. Then your body will fall into a rhythm of a couple pounds per week. I suppose its possible to lose too fast, but a lot of the early weight is Water from the IV fluids during surgery. Keep following the Dr's orders for nutrition and you will stay healthy in spite of the rapid weight loss.

Congrats!!

What Rev said...I lost 17 lbs in 10 days post-op and I was smaller than you. The following month I lost 8...so enjoy the big drop!

It's Water weight. As much as we'd like it to be fat, at this stage in the game, it's just water. It'll slow down to some extent based on what type of post-op guideline you follow.
