TOO Fast, too soon?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am wondering now if I am loosing too much too fast. I have had surgery on August 1st. Since my pre op I have lost a total of 74 pounds. I averaged it out to be about 4.65 pounds a week. Is that too much? Anyone else have a weight loss like this?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry too much about the rapid weight loss. If you are getting in your Protein that is all that matters. On the flip side, you may find that you will need plastic surgery. I've heard on these forums that when you lose faster the skins seems to weap more. Good luck on your continued success.

God Bless with that fast weight loss!!! If you dr. is monitoring you-GREAT! Just remember to take supplements and exercise as it is hard to lose fast and have hanging skin. Keep is all posted-can you give us an idea of your daily menus?

:) LOL...guys now I feel like a ninny. I am just worried that I am not eating right.

Here is a typical day's meal:

Pre-Breakfast (around 5 am) A cappacino or latte with whip cream.

My demon that I can not shake.

Breakfast 10 or so... one egg, 1 half piece of toast, 1 slice bacon

lunch... 1 cup chili or some other Soup OR 1/4 cup chicken salad and crackers

dinner... I usually eat whatever I made the family.

I also PB the foam after every meal. Dr has put me on a decongestant, which helps sometimes. But whatever...

I am just worried that I am not doing this right. The reason I did the band is so I did not have to tell everyone I had WLS. Not working....lol...

I think you'll be fine and it's just a wonderful problems too have. I started off the same way and if you keep your fills right it will keep up. I had lost 50 pounds in 3 months and then got my fill too tight and it stopped for almost a month. Then, I got a slight unfill Thanksgiving weekend and I've lost 14 pounds in the past month since. It will do great if your fill is right but even too tight can slow it down so good luck and happy losing.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
