Why do they think you are losing so fast. Are there issues with losing faster? Did they suggest for you to change anything?

I lost 5lbs from last week. They said I'm losing weight like a 500lb patient would. They started me on 1% milk and unsweetened apple sauce to slow me down last week. Heck, I feel really well and thought it was normal. Since Dec 23rd I have lost 24lbs and 10lbs since Jan 5th

She did say they may have to change up things on my next visit if it continues

Good morning everyone. I'm so excited I just hit my first 20 lb loss! This has been the best decision I have ever made. I want to live long and be the best Nana to my grand babies for many years to come.

Hey all...I'm really struggling. I was gone for 8 days...I barely ate or drank. I know I'm not getting my Water in. I feel lousy and my legs are swelling again. One of my incisions has gotten infected and is not healing. I'm just a mess. I haven't lost any weight for 2 weeks I think. Which is ok but my abdomen is bloated out like it was before surgery. Why can't I ever win.

Mindi definitely call your office and really work on your Water. Your probably in a stall and it will pass once you get back to your routine. Call about that infection though too!

Surgeon's office got me in right away. They said it was a disposable stitch my body was rejecting & causing infection. She pulled the stitch and told me to clean it really good and it will heal really fast now. Thank the lord. I thought I did something wrong. They said I should get back on track now that I'm home. And since my scale was broken I couldn't weigh so now they said I lost 15 lbs since I was there 2 weeks ago. I knew my stinkin scale was lying and broken. I don't feel like I lost any lbs though. But my broken scale is what kept telling me I wasn't losing. I bought a new better one today.
