Fist week weight loss

[Jeneemv 4]

I'm 6 days post -op and I'm averaging a loss of 3lbs PER DAY. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Sounds good to me. It will slow eventually. Ride the wave. I dont know how much you weigh though. You might want to start a ticker so we can all see your progress.

In the first week's after surgery your body is going through so many changes, I recommend staying off the scale. You will be weighed at your follow-up doctor's appointments which is often enough.

Yippee! Don't worry, be happy!

It will slow to 1-3 per week soon. Take it while you can

Enjoy it while you can, but understand that it will slow, it is just not sustainable. Don't get depressed when the slow down happens. I am 2+ weeks out (sleeved 10/7) and have a lower BMI and it is about 1 lb. every 2 days or so. I weigh daily and it's a bad habit I know, but I "think" I can handle it and the inevitable stalls that are coming.

Congrats and good luck on your journey.

Thank you everyone! I've taken your advise and added a body weight ticker. I will work on not jumping on the scale everything I go into the bathroom because that's was hats happeneing right now. And, I can see why it's probably not the best Idea

I lost 18 pounds my first week, I'm now 3 months post op and it has definetlty slowed down! Your body is going through a big change, don't expect much your second or third week but eventually it will all even out to a steady pace.

It seems to be a fairly common trend in those first couple weeks.

Make sure you don't forget to get your Protein in.

It is understandable to jump on the scale frequently.

I weigh every morning since surgery. 12 days & 18 pounds. It's a crazy ride.

I too am a daily weigher. I am 2 months out and have had 3 stalls already. The weight comes off just slower the further out you get. As long as it comes off I'm happy.
