HELP! Am I loosing too fast?



Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and have been able to get my Water in (weirdly enough getting "fast food" water that comes out of the soda machine makes it easier for me to drink)

Anyway HW:348 SW:332 CW:315

Trust me! I am so happy but I have heard of people who don't loose this much in the first month!!!

I wouldn't worry about losing too fast. If you are like most of us, you will lose quite a bit immediately post op and then about 3 weeks in, you will temporarily stop losing weight while your body sorts out what is going on.

Focus on your Water, Protein, and exercise and all will be good. Congrats on your success so far.

Good job! I don't think it's coming off too fast. The only problem you might run into is your gallbladder, but I think that's a problem we ALL might run into ???????? Congrats!

You're doing great! Like we say to people who complain about losing too slowly, people lose at their own pace.

Remember this post ironically when you're closer to goal and you are struggling to lose a pound a week ;)

Girl, don't worry! I lost just below 20 pounds my first week. It freaks you out but it's normal. It made me feel better while I cussed and whined because my weakness lasted a lonnnnggg time lol

A person who's 350 is going to lose a lot faster than someone 250 or 200, regardless of height. In the beginning that is... We can't compare ourselves to others EVER.

      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.
