Too fast weightloss?



Recommended Posts

So I'm 4 days post op and my starting weight was 381. I weighed this afternoon and I am 367. I've lost 14lbs in 4 days....is this normal or not? I love seeing the number go down but I don't want to get sick b/c it went too fast...

The higher your start weight, the faster it comes off. It'll stabilize soon.

Same here I'm 6 days out and went from 280 to 268 by day 4 too. I've had trouble going to stage 1 diet so I'm pretty much on the liquid diet still. I blame it on that but hey I'm not mad that just means as soon as we can get to working out we need to give it our all.

living life to the fullest and healthy

through out my loss it was fast loss and then a stall. then fast loss again. from the posts I find this a very normal. our bodies need time to adjust. some times this takes weeks as you get further out I think I was so excited that I was expecting it to just be one steady drop. when you stall don't panic just know your body is taking stock and it will lose again. also pay attention to things other than the scale ( we are told to only weigh once per month) as the body naturally gains and loses lbs ie at your menstrual cycle

good luck to you

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
