I'm very happy and blessed to have this done and behind me. I researched this for 2 years. Now I'm 5 days out and can't believe how fast the weight has melted off. Wed 12-12-12 I was 342. Last night I was 318. That is 24 pounds in a matter of days... Crazy and a little scarry. Anyone else have that happen?

Only negatives so far is that I have a serious cold that has made me cough alot which has been painful. Also, I had my first Protein yesterday and came home and had the runs. But I drank a concnetrated protein shot since we had a long drive home and that may have caused it.

I'm really tired and trying to figure out how in the world I'm going to eat 60 grams of Prot and drink 8 cups of Water a day? I'm full the moment I drink water. Anyone?

Thanks,

My first week I lost 22 lbs. My second week. I lost 16 lbs. I am now in my 3rd week & everything came to a grinding halt. So, yes, normal. As far as liquids (water & Protein shakes), I found that I had to have a bottle of one or the other in my hand constantly sipping to get it all in.

yes, it's very right. when i was first sleeved I lost 25 lbs in the first 1 1/2 weeks, and 53lbs in 7weeks. Then 150 lbs in the first year. So yes, this is very possible and very right. Don't worry, the body will level itself out. . mine has and i'm maintaining at the weight the doctor had wanted me at. Good luck!

We're you on a liquid before surgery? I was 284 when I started and yesterday at my week appointment I was 263. But that was about 3 weeks one one week post surgery.

I was only on liquids the day before surgery. I think part of the rapid weight loss has to do with 5 or 10 pounds I gained in the month leading up to surgery.

Is your stomach ok with the shakes now?

Yes. I have no problem with taste or nausea with the shakes. It is just taking in the volume that I can't manage. The GNC Amp shake mixes up pretty well so you don't get that chalky texture. You get a few lumps but not many. So I can drink them pretty well.

You can try unflavored Protein in your food, it helps to get it in without having to set aside room in your tummy for shakes

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
