Lost 40 pounds in two weeks

[MochaKelly 74]

Yes it's from the high sugar, I suffer with a condition called PCOS and acanthosis nigricans it made my neck and cheeks darker, my over all skin to darker to its " too much insulin in your bloodstream" but as I dropped the weight my skin has become much clear and my dark matches are lighting up I'm going to have to change foundations soon.. Lol

I have PCOS as well and a friend of mine has the other issue. I have noticed how the surgery has corrected a number of issues, including skin problems.

2 months is what the post should read

[Berry78 4,261]

Nope..2 weeks is correct. Her surgery was June 14th, and this post was made on June 29th.

The only thing I can fathom is she dropped a lot of Water weight. I would say possible scale error, but I think it was a doctor's scale both times.

Either way, it's fabulous!

It's possible! I was somewhere around there, then it slows down and the real work kicks in..

Yes the dates were correct.. The scale as well, I weighed myself at work and the docs office. They were impressed as well as i people have to realize that I started out at a high weight plus a lot of it was water because I did end up getting 12 lb back the following 3 days later and then I stalled. But every one's journey and body is different. I've always been able to lose weight very fast but also take a bite of a burger and I'll gain 20 lbs just as fast. That's why I choose this tool

[emoji108][emoji119] exactly people have to factor in age and weight I'm young and I was heavier so course is going to come off faster.

And 12 lbs came back in 3 days. So not quite the loss. I've been at this 10 years post wls. Keep posting and we can see how it goes[emoji486]

Hell 10 years is a long time..a Different time.. and different ages.. Different doc, You can't compare yourself to anyone! everyone and our body's are different.. You got the surgery a decade ago when it was a fairly new wls.. So please I no your a "vet" but don't try that "I've been doing this so I know better" crap on me because you don't know me.. Or my insides, Thank you

And yeah 12 pounds came back 3 days from the original posting date... I have since lost that plus more.. Almost 70 pounds lost since my surgery.. Or is that impossible to?

No need to get nasty! She isn't comparing your losses to her journey, she's comparing your losses to all those journeys she has heard about in a decade.

40lbs in a month is crazy-high loss rate.. and yours was twice that! It's not surprising for people to be skeptical.

The body only seems to be capable of burning off 1-2lbs a day of fat. Your loss of almost 3lbs a day didn't seem possible.

But, like I said, I suspect a bunch of it was Water weight (and especially since 12lbs came back on.. that was definitely water).. so 40-12 = 28lbs/14 days= 2lbs/day, and that is still super high, but within expectations.

70lbs over 2 months is just over a pound a day.. fabulous! And quite believable.
