Ok, so I'm starting to think that the scale is lying to me. I just had surgery 02/11/13 and can't believe how much my weight has gone down. I was 262 on the day of surgery and have lost 12 pounds since. I have been following the post-op diet very strictly. I have my follow up appointment on Monday, but am wondering if it is normal to lose this much so fast.

No this is possible. Most people have a really good 3 months then it starts to slow down. Enjoy the ride, and just follow the rules of eating and moving. Good Luck

I'm right there with you. I was sleeved 2/12/13 and I was also 262 pounds on surgery day. I'm now 252 as of yesterday and I'm like WTF???

We all lose at different rates. Tomorrow I will be 1 month post op. I lost 23 lbs on the pre op diet in 3 weeks and 33lbs since surgery on January 17, for a total of 56lbs. Keep up the good work. It feels great doesn't it?

Same surgery date as you and I am down 10 pounds! We are doing great!

Same surgery date as you also and I am down 14lbs. A lot of it is water but that was only for the first two days from what I noticed. How are you feeling?

I'm actually feeling good. I feel like I have more energy than before.

Hi this is my first time posting. I also had surgery 2/11. I am down 5 lbs since surgery. 25 total. I have had a lot of pain since surgery. I have seen so many people that have had very little pain. I was hoping to be one of them. I think the hardest thing is that prior to surgery I was never without iced tea. Now I can't even stand the taste of it. I am having so much trouble getting fluids in. I tolerate orange sherbet, potato soup and chicken soup unjury. I'm not big on sweet drinks. Does anyone have any suggestions.
