Am I loosing weight to fast?

First off I'm new to the forum and was recently banded. I had my Surgery about two weeks ago the 5th to be exact. I'm loosing weight extreemly quickly. I was weighed at the hospital at 303 and this morning I weighted in at 274. That's nearly thirty pounds in two weeks.

I feel fine and it's really nice to be able to fit into my old clothes but I'm just concerned that I'm loosing weight to fast. Should I be concerned or just happy?

Just be happy. As long as you lose it and don't put it back on, and don't yoyo, most of the stuff about not losing it too fast can be put to one side.

After only 2 weeks you are most likely of mushy or soft foods. As long as you are able to get your protein in, at least 1000 calories and drink the recommended amounts of water, I really don't think you need to worry. Just enjoy it! It will slow down soon enough.

The weight does come off rather quickly while on liquids, especially if you have a lot to lose. Nice job on your weight loss success so far. I wouldn't worry unless you don't feel well. If that is the case, then definitely contact your doctor.

Enjoy your immediate success... Most people say it comes off more quickly in the beginning. The amount you are losing might also have something to do with the amount you are hoping to lose. That is, the more you have to lose, the faster you tend to lose...

Sounds good thanks for the info.

You are about where I was. Once I started back on soft foods then regular foodsit levels out. I then only lost 3 lbs from the 2 week mark to the first fill. I don't think that I have restriction yet. Maybe after fill #2 on 4/7. You are doing great but PLEASE don't feel dissapointed when it slows down. Keep up the good work!!
