losing too quick?

I am 1 week post op. Had surgery last wednesday.

Starting weight when i started process for surgery was 340.

Right before i had to do preop liquid diet I was 334. In those 2 days I lost 10 lbs (324lbs) Water weight of course.

I gained some back after surgery from swelling and the gas.

Before I left the hospital they weighed me in at 328 that was Saturday.

So in the last 4 days Ive lost 16lbs. Im happy but is this normal or wayyy too much?? I have my appointment with surgeon tomorrow but I just wanted some opinions.

Hw:360

Sw:340

Cw:312 (havnt been this low 300s in over 2 years!)

It's normal right after surgery because the first month you will lose the most. When I went for my two weeks ck up I had lose twelve. The dr said most lost twenty in the first month. Enjoy, because there will be stalls! Congrats! On joining the losers bench!

I agree with slimagain. I know of people losing 40 in the first month and your story is not uncommon. Just keep following your physician's instructions and reporting back to him/her about your progress.

Best of luck with your sleeve.

Normal I lost 27 in the first month

Agree with normal but know that the loss may slow down or plateau periodically during your journey which can be fruststrating for many.

Just stick with your program during those times and you will see the scale move again :)

It's you, and you are normal. Just follow the program and we'll see you at the inevitable stall!!
