Losing weight to fast?



Recommended Posts

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!

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

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 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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
