Too much loss right after surgery?

[sarajeano 28]

Hey All,

I had surgery on Monday and am already down 14 lbs. I know it's usually a lot at first, but I'm afraid this is too quick?

I haven't been THAT good at getting Protein in though i am trying. Just worried my body is just not getting enough, and this isn't the "right" way to lose the weight.

Sounds like you are losing a lot of Fluid and you may be at risk of dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough Water.

I have been trying to drink a a big smart Water bottle a day. I told the nutritionist when she called I was having a hard time and she told me urine color should be an indicator of how hydrated I am, which has been very light.

If I were you I wouldn't worry about the weight loss at this point.....just focus on getting your Fluid and Protein .....the rest will fall into place. You're not losing too fast.....it'll even out. good luck!

Thank you! I'm guessing once I move to solid/soft foods it will slow down, if not stall.

The one liter bottle? If so, you'll need to drink two a day, that would only be half of what your body needs. The only goals I had the first couple weeks is 64 oz of Water and 60g+ Protein.

Yes, the 1L. When the nutritionist called and I told her how I was having a hard time getting anything in down she said she wasn't expecting me to get to those numbers right away, and at least try to get half. Each day has been better at getting higher in those numbers.

Smart girl. Someone who knows she may stall early out and is not overly concerned about it

Enjoy the quick losses. Like you said, it will even out.

Thank you! Any number down from my start weight is a good number!
