genn 460 Posted December 5, 2016 So i dropped a lot of weight in my pre op diet but since surgery I seem to be dropping 1-2 lbs per day. Did anyone else do this in the beginning. I had surgery nov 22 my highest weight was 289. Before surgery I was 264. After surgery from swelling and fluids I was 272. I'm now at 250!!!! Not even two weeks post op!!

Martha Parker-mcneal 166 Posted December 5, 2016 way to go. I dropped weight like crazy for the first 6 months. yes you will have stalls but just keep getting in that Protein and drinking the Water and taking your vit. it is a journey but one so well worth it. best of luck and keep us posted on your losses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted December 5, 2016 Yes I did drop 2 pounds a day after surgery. This quickly tapered off to 1 pounds per day and then stalls as I progressed towards the maintenance phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindy78 372 Posted December 5, 2016 Swelling and Fluid was 8 lbs so its possible. I didn't gain a lot of Fluid losing was slow at first for me. I thought surgery was a fail because I'd eat recommended amounts of full liquid w ease then around week 5 nerves woke up and everything was hard to eat Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted December 5, 2016 Yes for the first few weeks it was like that. then a stall around week 3 and then it kicked back in. Don't worry, it should taper off and slow down and when that happens you will wish you were back at the days when you would lose 1 to 2lbs per day. If i could do things over again, I would better leverage the heck out of that first 6 months before hunger set back in for me. (Honeymoon period) I was pretty good at sticking to the plan but there were times where i would eat something that would stall me out or slow my weight loss. I guess the good news is I did end up losing all of my excess weight, it just took me longer. Best of luck to you and you are doing fantastic already!

Hammer_Down 631 Posted December 5, 2016 I don't weigh every day, but from starting preop to 6 weeks I showed a weekly loss that amounted to 1 lb per day. Wednesday is weigh in day for me, and i'lol see if I've hit my first stall. This was my first week on solid foods, and I've eaten salads the past 4 days. Still low carb, but a big change from what I was eating on soft and puréed foods. So i''m not sure how that will affect my weight loss, but I'm also not worried about the stall. I managed to avoid the week 3 stall and so I'm overdue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cassandramarie93 199 Posted December 5, 2016 As of last Thursday I'm averaging about a pound a day. I think it's normal considering I only had to do a 2 day liquid diet before surgery on November 7th. I think I shocked my system, definitely not complaining though.
