I'm one week post op gastric sleeve. I've lost 20 lbs within this past week. Is that normal? Has anyone experienced such dramatic weight-loss in that short span of time?

I have ...you have to remember that you are loosing Water weight or fluids . so it will be like that until you start eating some solids. Watch your body very closely tho

Also depends on your starting weight. Higher BMI means quicker weight loss at first. I'm one week out and only lost 8 pounds, but I was only 221 the day of my surgery

Ok I was just wondering. You had said that you had your surgery on 2/27 but today is just 2/4. I wondered if your surgery date was on January 27th (1/27).

Same here. Only 7 days post op and have lost nearly 15 pounds. I attribute most of it to water weight. Think about all the salt you are no longer getting. That alone will hold 15 pounds of water in the body. I have noticed some physical changes with the loss of water weight. My hands and face don't look puffy or bloated. My rings are spinning.

It's real weight loss but man it is pretty dramatic.

Did you do a pre-op liquid diet?
