Losing weight to fast?

[MnGirl40 50]

I had a RNY on July 13th and have already lost 73 lbs since my 2 week pre op! I am happy with my results but I am down to 172 which is pretty hard for me to wrap my head around. Is this to fast? I still can only eat just a little over 1/4 cup of food.

I had mine just a month before you and I'm at the 98 pound loss mark. Probably just about the same, but all of our bodies react very differently. First stall had me in tears but I'm hanging in there, it sounds like you're right on track and doing very well!

people lose at all different rates. Be glad you're a fast loser - I sure wasn't!

I had mine the exact day you had yours. I've lost 71 lbs so I think you're right on track!!

Your loss sounds fine. I looked back and I had lost 76 lbs. in the same amount of time.

I lost quickly in the beginning. I'm a little over a year out and down 145 lbs. My weight loss slowed down at about 8 months out. Everyone loses at a different rate though

Everyone loses at a different rate. It will slow down when you get closer to goal and then you will wish for the months that you lost quickly.

It took 9 months to lose my first 100lbs and then another 9 months to lose the last 52lbs.

I'm struggling to lose my last 20 to get to goal lol. I wish I could lose like I did in the beginning

I went back and checked and from 2 weeks pre-op to 4 months 4 days post-op (the period you specified) I lost 95 pounds.

But as @@Djmohr said, everyone loses at different rates, and it will eventually slow down/stop.

I blew right past my original goal of 185 and just kept on losing. I am currently down to 156lbs, and I have really bottomed out. I didn't change my eating habits much, and just focus on hitting my Protein and Fluid goals and only eating healthy food. My body apparently just decided enough was enough and put the brakes on.

Follow the program and trust your body - you will do great.

I think your fine. I lost 100 in 6 months. Just keep in contact with your nutritionist and dr.

Even though I weigh 150lbs my bones are starting to pop out. I will not let myself lose anymore.
