Primum Non Nocere 7 Posted January 12, 2017 Hi there. The weight loss amount should be fine. Some people lose a lot and some people or less however the most important thing is that you are in taking at least the minimum requirements for Protein, fluids, and calories that your plan calls for. Otherwise you could end up in the hospital needing hydration Iv fluids Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthy_life2 8,324 Posted January 12, 2017 @@hannah0101 doing great! No such thing as a normal amount of weight loss. some lose slower than others. Feel fortunate that you are a quick looser! Trust me, It will slow down as your progress further out from surgery. Enjoy the first few months of restriction and quicker weight loss. Get your nutrition and Vitamins in. See your Dr for your follow up appointments. This is not a race...It's not how fast you drop weight. It's the fact you are losing weight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CocoNina 210 Posted January 12, 2017 I hope my body responds that way too when I have my surgery 2/13/17. That's awesome that you lost that much so far. As long as you follow your nutritional plan of Protein & liquid, you should be fine. Height 5'0" Weight for consultation: 216 lbs. Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.
