Too much weight loss too soon?



Recommended Posts

Ok, I am 6 days post op and pretty much just drinking Water because nothing stays down and sometimes water doesn't even want to stay down. So I've been just drinking my little one once cups of water and some days are better then others. I weighed 258 day of surgery. I am now 6days post op and 242! I don't know if I should be excited cause I'm losing weight or scared cause its a lot so soon? Anyone else experiencing the same thing or similar?

I lost 15 lbs the first week. Then only two pounds a week if I lose at all. I gained two pounds last week but my clothes are getting loser. We're all different. Be happy you are losing. In here tearing my hair out trying to figure out why I haven't lost any in three weeks.

First of all congrats on the weight loss!!!

I lost 42 pounds in less then 2 weeks post op. then stalled for about 4-5 weeks. Just some advice, make sure you are drinking cause I got dehydrated so fast when I was losing that much that fast. It's not fun at all. I've slowed down to losing around 10-25 per month now. Just make sure you sip sip sip!!!

Try drinking smart Water. That's what I drink when I know I'm dehydrated. It helps me a lot. I was so bad at the beginning I would only be able to stand up for 2-4 minutes before almost passing out. Don't want anyone else to feel like that. It sucks and about landed me back in the hospital.

I will be 5 months out on the 26th.

It's not fun. Just take your time getting up. The reason why I say the smart Water is cause of the electrolytes. Be careful and hope you feel better soon!! :)

      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.
