Hey everyone

I was wondering if anyone experienced fast weight loss. I know it's supposed to happen and yes some lose more then some. I lost 23lbs before surgery and in 11 days after surgery I have lost 18lbs. So in total I am down 41. I'm kinda scared if that's too fast.. or maybe because I started heavier then most? I'm still on puree until the 30th ..I get as much Protein and Water in. Just a little scared but alot more happier. Can anyone relate?

You started heavier so that doesn't seem odd. Also, heavy people really carry a lot of Water weight just because they have so much additional tissue to hold Water.< /p>

Enjoy the fast weight loss, it wont always be this fast.

It slows a bit as you get closer to goal. But upping Protein Water, etc can help.

@valerie1982 I had the same experience (I'm 2 months out today). I wasn't as big as you and still lost 20 pounds in the first two weeks. It has taken me six more weeks to lose the next 20. Your experience is perfectly normal so no worries!

      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.
