Losing weight to fast?



Recommended Posts

I had a RNY on July 13th and have already lost 73 lbs since my 2 week pre op! I am happy with my results but I am down to 172 which is pretty hard for me to wrap my head around. Is this to fast? I still can only eat just a little over 1/4 cup of food.

I had mine just a month before you and I'm at the 98 pound loss mark. Probably just about the same, but all of our bodies react very differently. First stall had me in tears but I'm hanging in there, it sounds like you're right on track and doing very well!

people lose at all different rates. Be glad you're a fast loser - I sure wasn't!

Your loss sounds fine. I looked back and I had lost 76 lbs. in the same amount of time.

Everyone loses at a different rate. It will slow down when you get closer to goal and then you will wish for the months that you lost quickly.

It took 9 months to lose my first 100lbs and then another 9 months to lose the last 52lbs.

I went back and checked and from 2 weeks pre-op to 4 months 4 days post-op (the period you specified) I lost 95 pounds.

But as @@Djmohr said, everyone loses at different rates, and it will eventually slow down/stop.

I blew right past my original goal of 185 and just kept on losing. I am currently down to 156lbs, and I have really bottomed out. I didn't change my eating habits much, and just focus on hitting my Protein and Fluid goals and only eating healthy food. My body apparently just decided enough was enough and put the brakes on.

Follow the program and trust your body - you will do great.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
