Just making sure first few days of weight loss is NORMAL...?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

So I am sleeved and officially a "Loser". I was sleeved this Monday July 8th, 2013.

Everything has been going well, but my weightloss seems so, I dint know drastic. I just wanted to make sure it sounds normal to you vets. All these weights are on my scale at home.

7/8 Day of surgery- 271.4

7/10 Home - 274.8

7/11 - 271.4

7/12 - 267.6

7/13 - 264.2

I mean wow... I expected it to come off fast in the beginning and slow down but this just seems super fast. I have been doing well with getting most of my fluids and my Protein, and I'm setting goals each day to get closer to my targets of 64oz h2o & 70g of protein. Right now I would say I am eating about 3x per day - 3 to 3.5oz per meal. 10+g of protein per meal and another 20g protein from whey shake. About 40oz h2o. All my vitals are normal. Im voiding normally and having BM's. So... is this normal weight loss in the beginning? Thanks for any info you guys may have.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
