weight loss rate

[10/6/14 20]

I loss 20lbs in two weeks. Does that weight loss stay continually while I'm doing only liquids? For instance I'm on Protein for 6wks. Will I lose 60 lbs? If I continue liquid for 8wks will I lose 80 and so on?

No. It just doesn't work that way. Weight loss with surgery is almost never a steady downhill slope. It's more of stair steps ... lose, stall ... lose, stall, gain a pound ... lose, stall.

You are also in the prime period for a stall soon, So don't be surprised or discouraged when it happens. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will pass

I lost 10 pre-op and 17 post op. Then weeks 3-4 I lost 4 lbs !! I was devastated and cried in the doctors office! But he explained that it was normal and that extreme weight loss was stressful on my body so it had to rest. He said it will be a lose - plateau cycle. I'm fine with it now. Just keep moving forward and don't focus on the scale.
