Am I loosing Weight to quickly?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was a week ago today. I'm down 23.1 pounds since that day. I see most people in the first couple months seem to loose between 20-40 pounds and that is what I expected. To be over half way there in a week has me a little excited but concerned at the same time. I've been meeting the diet requirements I was given which was basically 60 Fluid ounces and 50 grams of Protein a day. I'm feeling great and I'm having no problem getting my fluids down, I could do more if I needed to. I would love to hear opinions on this before I go back for my follow-up on Monday.

No, I don't think losing too fast is a thing initially if you are getting in your Protein and fluids. You have more weight to lose so it will initially come off at a faster rate. Also, since you have lost so much so fast, you may hit a plateau and then will be stressing that you haven't lost weight for a week or two. That is totally normal also. It all balances out in time. Just enjoy the ride-it's amazing!

Some of that's probably fluids given by IV in the hospital. When I came home I weighed more than when I went in and dropped almost 10lbs that week.

As long as you're following your surgeon's plan I'd think you'd be good, I lost 14 lbs the first week so I think everyone is just different.

I am two days post op and can't seem to take anything. My nausea is bad and I can only take sips of Water so I'm not getting any Protein in.

That's ok. I didn't either. Use ur nausea and pain meds early. Small sips all day. Follow ur doc's orders. U'll be ok.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
