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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
