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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
