You lost 21 lbs in 10 days?

What is your starting weight?

You will keep losing. It may not be 3 pounds a day though. I average 1/2 pound to a pound a day ... then I stall for a few days ... then it starts back up. Your body is probably just recalibrating itself :)

Probably because your body needs to take a break from losing 3 lbs a day...? Could also be hormonal. I was clipping along during this preop dieting, losing1-3 lbs a day and then screeeetch-2 days before my period started came to a dead stop for 5 days. Now I'm back to losing again. Your body is just doing to what it needs to. :) You're doing great!

Relax. 3lbs a day is a lot, your body probably needs time to catch up. It's called a stall and it will pass. :)

I am in the same boat as you as i lost a significant amount of weight the first week (21 lbs)but only weigh once per week so I wont weigh again til thursday. I have been told you may lose a lot in the beginning because your body is adjusting and then it is a little at a time. Even though I havent weighed myself yet this week I know I'm not losing 20lbs this week...wouldn't that be nice though?

Your body got the " I'm starving" message and is going to get stingier and stingier about letting go of its fuel reserve.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
