How Fast Is Too Fast?



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve proceedure performed 3 months and 6 days ago, and so far I've lost 120 pounds. I feel great, my Protein intake is around 75-95 g per day, and I seem to be able to tolerate (within reason) anything I try to eat. My concern is the rate at which I am losing. My surgeon and dietician both seem to be OK with things, so I should probably just calm down. Still, I wonder if this rate of loss is unhealthy. I haven't hit a stall or plateau yet, and I am wondering if I'll skid right past healthy and become too skinny.

or I'm just being dumb and worrying over nothing.

That's a huge loss in 3 months!!! Looking at your profile of starting weight it seems the more you have to lose the quicker it goes at first, especially for guys. Unfair I say, unfair;) but more power to ya!

If your weight loss team are OK with it just go along for the ride.

Good luck. You'll be at goal in no time!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
