losing too fast

[MarissaSalvador 1]

Is it normal to loose 5 the 1st two days. Then I'm losing 1 lbs everyday. I am worried it's too fast.

5 lbs 1st two days. Then I'm losing- 1 lbs everyday. I am worried it's too fast.

@@MarissaSalvador

some/many newbies are afraid they are not losing enough weight immediately after surgery

some people like you, might be afraid they are losing too much weight

there is no correct/normal answer

we are all different and losing different amount of weights in different time periods

never, never, ever compare yourself to others

people have been shot for less!!

you are not losing too much or too fast

you are doing fine

REALLY

keep up the good work

I think it is supposed to drop off quickly at first. I have lost 22 pounds in 22 days since my surgery. This does not concern me, but the other issues are a bit worrisome. I suffered from mild Premature Arterial Contractions prior to surgery, and they have worsened since. I am hoping this is just due to low calories and rapid weight loss. EKG's have been normal and I am scheduled for a Holter monitor this week just to make sure.

GOOD LUCK!

@@Ripper so sorry to hear that. I hope all goes well with you. It seems everyone has different issues. It is hard to determine what are the risks and who is vulnerable. Did you struggle in getting enough Water?

Many will lose quickly at first. Partially because our bodies are losing the extra Fluid they gave in surgery, partially because of the shock of having surgery. Some don't lose well at all that first week or two as they hang on to the surgery fluids. All of it is OK. Stick to the plan your doc gave you, keep hydrated, walk, and you'll do fine. Also try to remember you felt this way when you hit your first stall, because that will happen too! It all evens out in the end!

You'll lose fast the first month post op. Then it tetters off gently each month. I lost around 43 my first month post op. Then it lightened up each month there after.

As long as your following the rules, you'll be fine. Trust the process and trust your sleeve!

Thanks for all the comments and support.

In my first week post op, one day I went to bed, the next I woke up seven lbs lighter. It was bizarre. I mean, did I sweat it out while I was sleeping? Did the fat fairy come it take it like the tooth fairy? Where did it go? Ha ha. Anyhow, yeah, it is totally normal. I'm 7 weeks and almost 40 lbs down. But it has slowed from that rapid clip (including a 12 day stall!).
