That is fast, but it looks like from your ticker that that was a lot to lose. Are you feeling full from the half cup? Darn, I wish I could bottle some of what you have! If your doc is worried, maybe you need a bit of a defill (although if you're eating okay, maybe not??).

85 pounds in 3 months is a lot but you started at 369. The more you weigh, the faster the pounds fall off so I really don't think it's excessive. I don't look at pounds as much as percentages. You've lost about 23% of your starting weight. (at 3 months, I lost 18%) My opinion is, for what it's worth, as long as you feel good and are healthy, keep doing what you're doing!

Yes if you have a lot to loose; greatly reducing your calories intake will lead to quick weight loss. However you must be able to eat 3 oz solid Protein (weight not volume) and have veggies. If you can not your band is too tight.

has really upped my protein.His worry is so few calories will lead to big problems!My wife chases me around Protein Shakes now. lolThis surgery has saved my life i've been losing a blood pressure med a month the last 2 months.Anorexia nervosa is the term they used with me .Im so scared of failing i get sick from nerves because im so scared of gaining.The problem with losing it fast is you lose vital muscle...I think we have a plan in place to combat this just know more 20lbs weightloss months 8-10 instead.

James...keep up the good work. Follow the rules and it will be difficult for you to fail. Protein is key so that you don't lose muscle mass...which is detrimental to your heart functioning well.

Weightloss should slow the more you lose. I agree 10 pounds a month is more reasonable. Be well!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
