I am worried I am losing too fast

[charlie707 10]

I had my sleeve done on 7/15 and I am already down 20 lbs. I am not trying to complain but it has only been 9 days. I am getting 80 grams of Protein and about 60 oz of Water. I am just kind of freaked out that I am losing too fast and something is wrong.

I think it's normal at first. The first 2 or 3 weeks, I was losing 1 pound a day. Then it slowed down. I lost about 25 lbs the first month, 15 the second and 10 the third. Now I'm all over the place. I lost 6 lbs in one week, then nothing for the next 2 weeks. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't worry. You'll lose fast, you'll stall and you'll lose again. As long as you're getting in all your Protein and your liquids, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Call your doctor if you're worried and see what he or she says. That's always the best thing to do.

Did you have a pre-op diet? If so, how much did you lose before the surgery? I ask because those without pre-op diets seem to drop a lot immediately after surgery.

I was also sleeved on July 14th.... I was struggling with getting things down too. I am down 28 lbs since starting pre op phase.

I was really bad about pre op diet. I didn't do it. I was sleeved on a tuesday. I had Protein Shakes all day sunday and clear liquid only on monday before. I didn't lose any pre surgery weight. Maybe that is why it is going so fast now because by body isn't used to it. Now I have been eating a lot of greek yogurt, sugar free Jello and the premier brand Protein shakes from costco.< /p>

you will stall out in a weeks time and then you'll complain that you're sleeve isn't working enjoy those big losses.

Right after my surgery, those first two weeks, it was like I had stepped off a cliff like Wyle E Coyote in a loonie toons cartoon and just lost weight freakishly fast. I went to bed, and woke up one day, and was seven lbs lighter. SEVEN LBS!! So of course I figured something was wrong, but nothing was. After the first two weeks I hit a stall for 12 days before my weight loss started again and regulated itself to something more gradual.

Doin great! I had lost 26 in 11 days!!

Per my surgeon, the more you have to lose and then if you're a man, the quicker you'll lose.

My BMI was not extremely high and they expressed concern that I was losing too fast and ordered tests to check on Vitamin levels etc. So, if it ever becomes a concern, they'll let you know.

Makes sense now. You had practically no preopp period. The first 20-40 pounds come off fast. It will slow down. Many people hit a stall at week 3, maybe later for you. Don't worry about it. You are doing fine.

I think it's normal for a man who is heavier to lose faster. Go you!!

I wouldn't worry. 1. Guys lose faster 2. If you didn't really do a pre op diet you will lose faster 3. The first week is often a big loss and it will slow down. I lost 17lbs my first week (my dr only does a 48hr pre op clear liquids) and then it slowed down to 5 second week and then I hit the three week stall. If you're losing at that rate after a few weeks, then you can be concerned!
