Am I actually losing too fast?

[dustin551 84]

My surgery was last week- 8/5. When I got home the next day, I weighed 330lbs. Some of that was surely Water weight, but...when I weighed myself this morning I was at 308. That's 22 lbs lost in 9 days, and 30 lbs in 16 days (counting my one week liquid diet).

I had my follow up a couple of days ago but my doctor didn't even look at my weight, just telling me not to worry about paying attention to it for a couple of months. I'm getting about 600 calories a day right now.

I feel great, have plenty of energy, etc, but wondering how healthy it is to lose so fast.

You're doing great! Based on your starting weight, your current calorie intake & you're a guy the lbs can drop quite a bit the 1st few weeks. Enjoy your head start. If the scale slows down a bit soon don't be discouraged. Your body will probably need to catch up and regroup at some point.

I'm 6 weeks out today. I lost 22lbs in the first week and a half, then stalled for almost 3 weeks, then dropped 12lbs in the past week and a half. Just don't get discouraged when/if you hit a stall. You should take measurements because you'll be losing lots of inches.

I lost 38 lbs the first week and i am 1 month post op on the 18th, I have lost 62 pounds. I feel Great..... I only weight myself once a week. Cloths falling off me... I guess its time to go buy some new ones....

My husband and I are 14 days post op and counting pre-op liquid, he's down 26 lbs. He started at 278 and is down to 252 already.

I have lost 20 pounds in the last two weeks so I don't think you are losing to fast. They say you may have stalls and things so if that happens don't get discouraged. I am two weeks two days out and I am feeling amazing!

Remember that your weight coming home from the hospital was probably inflated because of the IVs. I came home from the hospital 15 pounds heavier than I went in....thats all fluids. Within 3 days that 15 pounds was gone. So I think you're ok.
