So I'm 4 days post op and my starting weight was 381. I weighed this afternoon and I am 367. I've lost 14lbs in 4 days....is this normal or not? I love seeing the number go down but I don't want to get sick b/c it went too fast...

The higher your start weight, the faster it comes off. It'll stabilize soon.

Very much so, it will however slow down as you start refeeding.

Enjoy it.....its slows down a lot after the first month or two. Then you will wish you lost that fast. LOL

Same here I'm 6 days out and went from 280 to 268 by day 4 too. I've had trouble going to stage 1 diet so I'm pretty much on the liquid diet still. I blame it on that but hey I'm not mad that just means as soon as we can get to working out we need to give it our all.

living life to the fullest and healthy

I'm 7 days out and like bbudee ... I started off at 280 and I'm 265 as of today but I've been stalled at 265 for 3 days

through out my loss it was fast loss and then a stall. then fast loss again. from the posts I find this a very normal. our bodies need time to adjust. some times this takes weeks as you get further out I think I was so excited that I was expecting it to just be one steady drop. when you stall don't panic just know your body is taking stock and it will lose again. also pay attention to things other than the scale ( we are told to only weigh once per month) as the body naturally gains and loses lbs ie at your menstrual cycle

good luck to you
