Losing 11lbs in 3 1/2 days post op normal?

[Robert Angel 43]

Hi everyone... Newbie here I'm a 25yr male from SoCal who started at 304 right before my 2week pre-op liquid diet... I weighed 287 just minutes before going into the operating room late Monday 8/12 afternoon... I weighed myself today and I'm down 11lbs.. I love seeing the numbers drop but is that normal? I'm really excited but also want to make sure I'm doing well. I've been drinking Water all day... Having 2-3 muscle milk lights daily, taking Multi Vitamins. I know TMI but I had my 1st bowel movement today... Wasn't much at all. Anyone else experience this?

Hi, make sure you get all of your required Protein in each day. I would say that 11lbs is a lot, but may be "normal" for you, but once you start eating it may slow down so don't be surprised or discouraged. And, you are on track with your BM... lol

Thank you my focus going forward is getting more Protein. I just got some low calorie/ sugar free "new whey" shots I will try tomorrow... I believe they have 42g of protein

I suspect that 11# may be Water weight from the Iv they give you at the hospital.

allons-y

I would suspect some of it is from fluids they filled you with while in the hospital and some is real weight gone. Hopefully you have read here enough to be expecting the 3wk stall that will come up at about 3wks post op. (funny how it got that name) I know I was surprised to learn of a stall so early in the process. Good Luck

For 25yo going through this? Yeah you'll drop weight like a brick. After a couple more lbs, it'll slow down considerably, and then finally pick back up. Assuming you exercise a little, you should lose 1lb a day for the first 50 lbs avg.

Thanks everyone. Good info here and I will do more research on the threads I woke up this morning at 275lbs. Time for my Protein Shake
