My surgery was Wednesday 9/4 and today 9/7 I already lost 8lbs... is this normal or too fast

After surgery folks lose varying amounts of weight and some even gain weight. The 8 pounds does not indicate anything bad, your body is adjusting. It will slow down, stop, resume, gain, and lose again on the course of your new journey.

welcome, welcome & hello there

always great seeing a new smiling face

you'll enjoy this group - very informative with lots of support

"most" of us don't bite

always one in the crowd

don't look a gift horse in the mouth - 8 lbs is great

everyone loses different amounts of weight right after surgery

some people even gain weight due to the IV's

the one thing we all have in common is that we're all different

continue to ask your questions

read the board

keep up the good work

congrats

Welcome! Losing 8 pounds is a wonderful start! You will fluctuate from time to time or just totally stall. If you haven't done measurements do them now! When you aren't losing on the scale you are losing in inches. This is still weight loss and the scale will reflect it eventually. Congratulations on your surgery!

Thanks for the insight!!! I love this information this forum brings
