What's normal weight loss?

Hey guys! I got sleeved Tuesday 5/5 I'm down 17 total from when I started my two week liquid pre-OP and 7lbs down from surgery Tuesday- is this a good path? I haven't been able to get all my Protein in yet, I think today will be the day I do! I started at 258 and I'm 241 today. I'm just so nervous about losing enough during the "honeymoon" phase!

Seems like you are right on track! It seems incredibly common to hit a stall a few weeks after surgery, but the loss will resume so don't get discouraged if it happens to you. Sounds like you are doing great working to your Protein goals, it sure makes recovery easier!

Don't compare yourself to anyone. It will just frustrate you. Just be happy to continue to lose , even if it's only 1 pound a week. I'm one if the slow losers, anywhere between 1-2 pounds a week but I never hit a stall so I'm happy

What she said. Too many variables (age, gender, starting BMI) to really know what is "normal". As long as you're losing, you're doing great!

Okay thanks guys! I did get dizzy today I think it's just over exerting my energy without having enough calories- had this happened to anyone else?

Lol I had about a 3 month bout with dizziness. Definitely lack of calories or low blood sugar. Was actually going to see a doctor about it, but it finally stopped about a month ago. I still get it once in a while when I stand up too fast. That's when I know it's time to eat something!
