Down 70Ibs

[Lisa_85 118]

My surgery was Jan 5th and I lost 50Ibs and since my pre-op diet I'm down 70Ibs. Has anyone else lost this amount of weight in a couple of months? Everyone keeps telling me I'm losing it to fast.

its a very striking change, and to people looking at you it may seem too abrupt because we typically associate rapid weight loss with illness, serious illness.

Just keep following your plan! you look great and I am sure you feel fabulous. the only person I would listen to is if your doctor thought it was too fast for some medical reason. :-)

People would say the same thing to me. You are losing weight too quickly or "you're going to blow away in the wind you are so tiny" to me I wasn't tiny at all.

My surgeon put it perfectly - These people see you every day and saw you at your heaviest. Would a stranger tell you you look too skinny? Probably not.

I would continue what you are doing and go with it. There will come a time when you are begging the scale to drop one more pound.

Congrats!! I had my surgery the same day as you. I'm down 37# from 253 on 1/5 and feeling like I'm losing too slowly. I thought I would be down 50# by now. What was your weight on surgery day?

Congrats! That is so Awesome!

I'm so jealous! I am only down 34lbs and I had my surgery Dec 28. Im following my dr plan so not sure what is going on

I have that same question? My surgery was last week 3/22. Ive lost 27 lbs already, just want to make sure it is normal to lose that much in 9 days.

My surgery was three weeks ago today and I'm down 34 pounds. My surgeon says it's ok considering I was carrying a lot of excess Water pre op due to other conditions. As long as your surgeon says it's cool rock it! You look amazing!!!
