NurseAmy1969 6 Posted July 24, 2016 Hey! I had my surgery just a couple of days after you on 7/23 and I am 20lbs down as well. So I would say we both must be doing something right. Keep doing what your doing! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cervidae 2,389 Posted July 24, 2016 From what I've observed over the last year here, this is common and normal. I never dropped that much that quickly but I see it happen all the time. It definitely won't continue to be that rapid, but right now you're losing fat and Water weight and that adds up very quickly. Good luck to you! Take good care of yourself.

CeeGee 30 Posted July 24, 2016 My surgeon told me not to compare myself to anyone else because we are all at different sizes with different levels of activities. I am 27 days post of and have lost 29 lbs ❤️. Congrats on your weight loss and much continued success! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mudgy6 88 Posted July 30, 2016 Bypass witch and NurseAmy both of sound like you are doing well. I had my procedure on 7/26. I feel like I haven't lost anything. I'm still fluids. What are you doing that I'm not? What excercises are you doing Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nymea 87 Posted August 1, 2016 Bypass witch and NurseAmy both of sound like you are doing well. I had my procedure on 7/26. I feel like I haven't lost anything. I'm still fluids. What are you doing that I'm not? What excercises are you doing Try not to worry too much. I had my surgery on 16th July and didn't lose anything in the first week. Then suddenly I was losing 1 kg per day. You might have some Fluid from swelling and such like I did in the first few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
