Surgery on the 14th. I'm down 15lbs. Is this on track, fast, or slow for this period in my journey? Very curious!!!

Thanks in advance once again

I had surgery on Wednesday, February 20th this year. By Saturday the 23rd I had lost 15 pounds. I would think it is quite normal. However, I think it just depends on your body. Most people that are four weeks out like me have lost around 25 pounds, I believe (that is what I've heard when I ask). Yet, I have lost at least 32 when I checked on Sunday. I'm having a hard time getting everything in, so I know it's not because the diet. I am not able to get much pureed food down either.... so my soft diet will now be delayed.

16 pounds down in 6 days, so about the same. I love it and hope it stays that way.

That's how I feel like I'm going to be since I'm having a hard time with my fluids. Freakin gas.

Awesome! But you know we're gonna stall and slow down eventually! Meh!

You all are doing well. Don't get discouraged when it slows down. Our bodies have to catch up to our weight lose. But this gives you a great start to your journey :0)

Congrats!! We should keep in touch, my surgery was same day. I'm down 13 and feel like its not good but have to remind myself I'm still healing!! I'm having a hard time with liquids. Only got in 24 oz of liquid & 18 grams of Protein yesterday. How are you doing? Anything you particularly like that I can try. Nothing is tasting good to me.

I'm thinking this is why I've only lost 5 since surgery 3-6. I had lost 17 the week n half before surgery. Maybe my body is still trying to catch up??

I think it's awesome, slow fast OR average! I've lost 12 in a month (still pre-op) and I'm STARVING!!! lol Like, it might actually be making me blind! Haha Just remember how hard it was to lose just 5lbs pre-sleeve. You're rockin it!!

It's mostly water weight at that point. Very soon you will be melting away the fat. But do the math....3500 calories per pound to lose weight. You only burn so much. But still, enjoy the ride because a new healthier life is ahead of you.

VERY possible. Because my 5 day pre op was a big fat failure. I lost 2 pounds!!! I'm sure if I'd have lost pre op weight, it wouldn't be this fast. And butterbeans notion that it's Water weight for me is also a good point. Mmmmmmm butterbeans. Dang it! So hungry lol
