I was 274 going into surgery on 7/29 and now I am 7 days post op and weigh in at 258. Is this the normal rate? Still not getting my full protein in but I do have an appetite. I am on full liquids/stage 1 baby foods. Anyone else experience a loss like that or is it because it is the first week?

I lost 14 pounds week 1. It slowed by half the following week, and continued to slow thereafter. It is normal due to the loss of body fluid and possible dehydration. Your body will adjust soon. Congrats and good luck!

Thanks! I hope I am getting in enough liquids. I don't feel dehydrated.

32 oz minimum to avoid dehydration, 64 oz is optimal...

I'm sure you are doing fine!

I had my surgery on 7/10/2013 and lost about 27 lbs in 1 1/2 weeks!!!! I was really scared as well but it was water weight. Once i started eating more and taking my vitamins I gained some back and my Dr said it was totally normal!! Total I've lost 20lbs in a little over 3 weeks!! I'll take that any day of the week!

I lost 13lbs 1st week in 6 weeks out and 30 lbs down!

Please tell me how you lost all the weight so quickly! My surgery was 6/20 and I lost 30lbs.

Hi there, losing the weight sure is great, kinda nervous as well but staying positive and trying to eat enough protein to maintain the weightloss, look for protein to weight calculator. I've lost over 70 lbs since April 15th, I'm at my goal weight. Good luck

Please tell me how you lost all the weight so quickly! My surgery was 6/20 and I lost 30lbs.

I'm only two days ahead of you and I am down 30lbs too. The other weight was lost pre-sleeve. You are doing great! You're going to be fabulous in no time!!!

I came home 20lbs lighter.

I got to my goal of 110lbs lost I'm about 6 months. Take advantage of those golden and precious losing months!!! Before your metabolism catches onto your lower intake. You will struggle to lose every pound after that. Be happy for the loss!!! <3

What was every ones weight before?? I went in at 203 and came back at 205, I was sleeved on 7/31 the doctor said not to weight till two weeks later to have a more accurate response. I am still very swollen I had no gas pain but my stomach is severely swollen still, I also did come back to work today.

I'm just 17 days post op and have only lost 13 pounds. Not stressing over it. As long as the number on the scale goes down that's all that matters.

I was 274 going in on 7/29 and now I am at 257. I think I am ok as I may run into the "3 wk stall" everyone talks about.
