Am I losing too quickly?

[Deactivatedfatgal 377]

I had my two week appt today and I'm down 19 pounds! My dr wasn't concerned

Congrats to both of you!!

I had surgery exactly on the same day as you!! I started at 255 and now I'm at 217, possibly 216 or 215 I don't weigh in till Friday. But that's only 38 pounds and my doctor said I'm a slower loser. I think your weight loss for your starting weight is right on target. You are doing fantastic, keep up the great work!

Great loss!

I'm 3 weeks post-op and 33lbs down. I'm amazed at how fast I'm losing but my doctor is satisfied.

Wow! That's awesome progress. How do you feel?

I'm concerned about the same. I had mine the same day as you and have lost 58 pounds. I'm almost at my ideal weight and am afraid it will keep going down with only being able to eat 2-3 spoons of food.

That's awesome progress, congrats! If I have any questions, I never hesitate to ask my doctor. But quoting a previous commenter, our bodies know what we are doing! As long as we feel good and are healthy, we most likely are doing everything right and our body is taking care of itself! But again, if you're worried, just go to your doctor for reassurance. Good luck!

I started at 370 by three months I was down just over 100lbs. Everyone loses at a different pace. Keep up the good work and listen to your body. Now I'm getting close to my goal weight and things are slowing down on their own.

Yes I want to lose gradually! Developing stones & having possible gallbladder surgery plus possibility of ear disease scares the shit out of me!

Ear disease????

That's so great! I hope my progress is as great as yours. Thank you!

Just embrace it. You're gonna have loose skin no matter how fast or slow you lose. Lose it while you can.

I know I had mine a month before, but what's your current caloric intake?

It's about 800 calories. My doctor wants me to get it between 800 and 1,000, but I struggle to get in 800.

I started at 315 lbs pre op. I'm down 50 lbs. from 2/23 surgery. I looked at BMR and still struggle to get 1000 calories. I have not started much exercise yet. Sounds like you are doing great!

That is awesome progress. It sounds like you're doing great as well!! It's hard for me too get in 1000 too. And most of my calories are Protein shakes!!
