Am I loosing weight too fast?

[stepbill 5]

I've had my surgery on December 8th and today I am down 52 pounds and am concerned that I may loosing weight too fast. I feel fine but am still concerned. I am getting all of my Water in and also my Protein of 80 grams. I've started adding some carbs to try and slow it down some. Thanks for your advice.

I'm not a surgeon or nutritionist but it seems normal to me (and awesome!). I've lost 41 lbs in 3 1/2 months but I started at a lower weight and didn't do so great getting my Protein in at first. I've seen lots and lots of posts here about people losing that much and more in a month. I think your progress is great and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. However, if it's bothering you then reach out to your surgeon or nutritionist for a professional opinion.

Everyone loses at different rates. I would only worry that it's "too fast" if your surgeon seems concerned. As long as you are following your nutritionist's plan and not starving yourself, then there's probably not much you could do to slow your loss even if you wanted to.

No such thing as losing weight too fast when you are obese.

Also, please realize that you are in the honeymoon phase. It will not last forever and you will soon begin to hit stalls and then your weight loss will eventually stop altogether. So for the first 2 years, especially the first year, you should focus on losing as much weight as possible. If you get below weight you can then increase your calories but cross that bridge when it's needed.

Yup. A guy.

You NEVER see women asking that question, lol.

I agree with everyone above.

None of us loses at a constant or steady rate and none of us loses at the same rate as someone else,

As long as your medical team is happy and you are following your program then you are fine.

This is a post about stalls, but there is also information about assessing your progress.

Embrace the Stall!
