hello everyone ! My name is Kiana

I just got my surgery on Feb 25th and so far I've lost 16lbs in 5 days. I didn't do the pre-op diet and only did Clear liquids the day before surgery! Am I losing weight too fast? Has anyone else had this experience ?

Hello, as long as you are following your Dr s instructions then yes your doing fine. I've list close to 30 in almost a month.who knew? It hasn't been An easy road with a lot of pain in stomach and with getting everything in. Sound s like you are right on target. Good luck !

I believe you are just experiencing the post-op "Whoosh!" most people get when starting a low cal diet. I lost 10 lbs in the pre-op diet (7 days) and then another 11 in the week post-surgery.

I'm sure things will slow down a little for you as you eat more food in the coming days.

thanks !!!!!

Welcome Kiana.. Pretty name! Your loss seems quite normal and if you follow the docs recommended plan you should continue ... Well, until your first stall! Sorry, just be prepared because it can happen, but it's survivable.

Good luck

i lost alot the first week......then it slows down. i am down 31 lbs in just under 6 weeks so i am not complaining...Welcome and wishing you continued success..

you're fine. i had surgery on the 20th, so i'm at a week and a half, and i have lost 20 so far. it will likely slow down to ~4-5lb/wk at week 2.
