Am I loosing Weight to quickly?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was a week ago today. I'm down 23.1 pounds since that day. I see most people in the first couple months seem to loose between 20-40 pounds and that is what I expected. To be over half way there in a week has me a little excited but concerned at the same time. I've been meeting the diet requirements I was given which was basically 60 Fluid ounces and 50 grams of Protein a day. I'm feeling great and I'm having no problem getting my fluids down, I could do more if I needed to. I would love to hear opinions on this before I go back for my follow-up on Monday.

No, I don't think losing too fast is a thing initially if you are getting in your Protein and fluids. You have more weight to lose so it will initially come off at a faster rate. Also, since you have lost so much so fast, you may hit a plateau and then will be stressing that you haven't lost weight for a week or two. That is totally normal also. It all balances out in time. Just enjoy the ride-it's amazing!

Some of that's probably fluids given by IV in the hospital. When I came home I weighed more than when I went in and dropped almost 10lbs that week.

As long as you're following your surgeon's plan I'd think you'd be good, I lost 14 lbs the first week so I think everyone is just different.

I am two days post op and can't seem to take anything. My nausea is bad and I can only take sips of Water so I'm not getting any Protein in.

That's ok. I didn't either. Use ur nausea and pain meds early. Small sips all day. Follow ur doc's orders. U'll be ok.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
