      It's not too much. At the beginning a lot of what you lose is actually water weight. This is especially true after a hospital stay when they're pumping you full of IV fluids. You're doing great, d

    You're doing great, don't over analyze it, just enjoy your success :)

    YES! I lost quickly right after surgery and then I settled out to 1-2 lbs per week. The same thing happens to me after a fill. I'll lose a lot in the first week then slow down after that. That's great! Enjoy.
