Too much?

An six weeks post op and am down 30lbs since my surgery. Is this too much? Will it slow down soon? I am not worried or anything but just want to know if anyone else has had this much of a weight loss this quickly that started out about the same weight as me. I started at 257 and now I am 226!!! I am extremely happy but just curious...I am going back home to visit my family in three weeks and I had a goal to lose 30 lbs before I went and I have reached my vet first weight loss goal and couldn't b happier and even happier that I may exceed my goal in the next three weeks!!! YAY!!! Love my lap band :)

Just enjoy....there will be some weeks when you want lose nothing..just remember you lost those lbs. already your body is just catching up....

My doc told me you loose the most just after surgery and then it's about 1-2 lbs a week. And that is what you want.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you are eating enough calories and getting in your Protein, you don't have to worry about losing too much.

I lost 44 pounds before my first fill, which was 6 weeks post op. In the beginning it was easy for me to drop at least 20 pounds a month. Now, I'm lucky to lose 5-8 pounds per month.

Just enjoy it while it lasts :)
