50 pounds in 2 months

[Keralian 8]

It's exactly 2 months and 2 days since my surgery and I have lost 50 pounds.

I'm worried I'm losing weight too fast or is this a normal pace?

I am unable to eat much, sometimes nothing at all, but I don't feel hungry or tired. I'm on Multivitamin tablets.

What are the dangers? Please advice. Going to doctor in a few days time.

That's great congrats. If you have concerns about your rate of loss disciss that with your doctor. They will know what is right according to your individiual plan

Hi,

I have the same stats more or less, and I don´t think it was too fast.

Make sure you eat enough Proteins and keep your liquids up. Are you following your NUT advice?

Did you notice muscle loss? this is the risk if you don´t work out or don´t take enough proteins.

Don´t abuse Vitamins as your body can´t process them all if you take too many tablets.

I'm in the same situation but I don't think it's to fast its your body living with a smaller pouch and more liquids than anything in the beginning.. Your doctor should have advice you that most of your weight will be lost in the beginning.. I got sleeved exactly a month ago today may 10th 2016 and I stared off at 356 and I'm currently 311 that's a weightloss of 45 pounds in a month period.. I was honest with him and told him I can't stand eating puree its horrible and his reply who eats that's stuff it's disgusting.. He was OK with me staying on liquids till I can eat soft foods which info here and there but I feel good on liquids .. I guess I'll just loss the weight faster ...

You have to eat - even if you don't feel like it. You will ruin your metabolism - not to mention get sick from malnutrition. Set a timer to remind yourself to eat. Get in all your Protein and Water.

worried losing weight too fast, is this a normal pace?

@@Keralian

what is the "normal" pace to lose weight??

people lose at there own speed

don't compare your weight loss (or anything) to others here - ever!

people have been shot for less!

losing 20 lbs in two months is great

but your weekly/monthly weight loss will slow down

there have been discussions on board

where/when do you start counting your weight loss

per your profile you lost 10 lbs pre-op

40 lbs since sleeve

50 lbs total

I don't "think" that's too much

you are adding lbs you lost starting with pre-op

others count lbs starting post-op

either way is fine

you go your way, and i'll go mine

i would tell you to eat lots of Protein

5-6 small meals/portions to get more calories in

nutritious meals - you must eat, and drink!!!

the less you eat, don't eat - you possibly will be faint/dizzy

i'm not the smart one to give OFFICIAL advice

then again

glad you are going to NUT/doc tomorrow

he will help/guide you

take care

you'll get it together sooner than later!!

good luck

I don't know what is "normal". Everyone is different. What does your surgeon say?

I am concerned that you say you aren't eating. Proper nutrition is vital for healing and for weight loss.

What is your Protein target? Are you getting at least that much Protein every day?

Are you getting in at least 64 oz of Fluid every day?

Are you exercising? Are you eating enough to support that exercise?

I suggest that you talk to your NUT and surgeon about your concerns.

I don't really know how much is too fast, but I do know my program has told the sleevers if we lose 5 or more pounds for 2 weeks in a row to call the NUT. I think it might be different for the bypass because they also told us that bypass is going to lose more quickly up front but the amount of weight loss typically is comparable between the 2 after two years.
