Losing fast after surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my VSG done on Jan 4th and since then I've lost 22lbs. I weighed 248 before surgery and now I'm 226. Am I loosing the weight too fast or is this a normal loss?

I've been wondering the same thing. I had mine on Dec 27th and I'm down 31 lbs.

Hi there. The weight loss amount should be fine. Some people lose a lot and some people or less however the most important thing is that you are in taking at least the minimum requirements for Protein, fluids, and calories that your plan calls for. Otherwise you could end up in the hospital needing hydration Iv fluids

doing great!

No such thing as a normal amount of weight loss. some lose slower than others. Feel fortunate that you are a quick looser!

Trust me, It will slow down as your progress further out from surgery. Enjoy the first few months of restriction and quicker weight loss. Get your nutrition and Vitamins in. See your Dr for your follow up appointments.

This is not a race...It's not how fast you drop weight. It's the fact you are losing weight!

Once you hit your first stall here soon, it will slow down. Then you'll long for the days of that quick weight loss.

I hope my body responds that way too when I have my surgery 2/13/17. That's awesome that you lost that much so far. As long as you follow your nutritional plan of Protein & liquid, you should be fine.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
