Losing weight too fast? Help!



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 8/7 and I am down 20.1lbs since surgery....that is 9 days. I am down 30lbs since my liquid diet which was July 31st. I am a little nervous this seems extreme. I am not necessarily complaining but I just want to make sure there isn't anything I should be concenred about it or is this not that uncommmon? DOS weight was 287.6 and I am 5'10.

Any insights would be appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Your weight loss seems comparable to many others this early on. It will more than likely slow down and you may even experience a stall in the next few weeks as your body readjusts. Good luck.

You also may have lost some pounds of the IV Fluid that usually gets pumped into you during surgery.

Thanks New1! I was just getting a bit nervous thinking something could be wrong...I just imagined myself to be a slow loser with the PCOS and Hoshimotos. I dread the idea of ending up in the hospital again so I am trying to be cautious and probably inadvertently turning myself into a worry-wort.

You're doing great! The first month is the big month of weight loss. You will likely see things slow down a bit each month thereafter. So enjoy the big loss!

Also if you dropped all carbs and sugars since the start you have lost glycogen stores which can be like 10+- pounds (which is why when people go low carb they can lose 14 in a week)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
