TOO Fast, too soon?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am wondering now if I am loosing too much too fast. I have had surgery on August 1st. Since my pre op I have lost a total of 74 pounds. I averaged it out to be about 4.65 pounds a week. Is that too much? Anyone else have a weight loss like this?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much about the rapid weight loss. If you are getting in your Protein that is all that matters. On the flip side, you may find that you will need plastic surgery. I've heard on these forums that when you lose faster the skins seems to weap more. Good luck on your continued success.

God Bless with that fast weight loss!!! If you dr. is monitoring you-GREAT! Just remember to take supplements and exercise as it is hard to lose fast and have hanging skin. Keep is all posted-can you give us an idea of your daily menus?

:) LOL...guys now I feel like a ninny. I am just worried that I am not eating right.

Here is a typical day's meal:

Pre-Breakfast (around 5 am) A cappacino or latte with whip cream.

My demon that I can not shake.

Breakfast 10 or so... one egg, 1 half piece of toast, 1 slice bacon

lunch... 1 cup chili or some other Soup OR 1/4 cup chicken salad and crackers

dinner... I usually eat whatever I made the family.

I also PB the foam after every meal. Dr has put me on a decongestant, which helps sometimes. But whatever...

I am just worried that I am not doing this right. The reason I did the band is so I did not have to tell everyone I had WLS. Not working....lol...

I think you'll be fine and it's just a wonderful problems too have. I started off the same way and if you keep your fills right it will keep up. I had lost 50 pounds in 3 months and then got my fill too tight and it stopped for almost a month. Then, I got a slight unfill Thanksgiving weekend and I've lost 14 pounds in the past month since. It will do great if your fill is right but even too tight can slow it down so good luck and happy losing.

      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.
