Healthy Weight Loss?

I weighed as soon as I got home from the hospital 3 days ago and it was 359.2. I've weighed everyday since then and this morning it was 346.1. I'm weighing every morning when I wake up at about the same time. I'm on a clear liquid diet for two weeks since I had a hernia that the doctor needed to fix. I'm full most of the time after a couple of ounces of liquids. I was just wondering if this much weight lose in that short of time was normal?

It's probably normal, just be sure you're staying hydrated and follow your doctor's instructions. You can always call the office just to be certain. Good luck to you!

On clear liquids probably it is OK. When can you add full liquids and protein?

everyone is different...some lose faster than others

and you are full on a small amount as you are still swollen inside...as it subsides, you will be able to drink more and gradually eat more...just keep following your doctors instructions.

The doctor said I can go to full liquids after two weeks. I had a hyenal (spelling?) hernia he had to fix. He said I would be more sore for longer than usual. Thanks for the info.

yes i had that also..only hurt when i tried to take deep breaths..i was on liquids 2 weeks after surgery..very much like you..it will get easier every day..

90% of the weight you're losing right now is your body shedding excess fluids so no harm in that.
