I am 8 days post op and have been able to get my water in (weirdly enough getting "fast food" water that comes out of the soda machine makes it easier for me to drink)

Anyway HW:348 SW:332 CW:315

Trust me! I am so happy but I have heard of people who don't loose this much in the first month!!!

I wouldn't worry about losing too fast. If you are like most of us, you will lose quite a bit immediately post op and then about 3 weeks in, you will temporarily stop losing weight while your body sorts out what is going on.

Focus on your Water, Protein, and exercise and all will be good. Congrats on your success so far.

Good job! I don't think it's coming off too fast. The only problem you might run into is your gallbladder, but I think that's a problem we ALL might run into ???????? Congrats!

You're doing great! Like we say to people who complain about losing too slowly, people lose at their own pace.

Remember this post ironically when you're closer to goal and you are struggling to lose a pound a week

Girl, don't worry! I lost just below 20 pounds my first week. It freaks you out but it's normal. It made me feel better while I cussed and whined because my weakness lasted a lonnnnggg time lol

A person who's 350 is going to lose a lot faster than someone 250 or 200, regardless of height. In the beginning that is... We can't compare ourselves to others EVER.
