Do you ever feel you are losing too fast?



Recommended Posts

Since starting my preop diet, I have lost 54lbs. 54lbs in 9 weeks just seems insane to me. I’m super proud of myself bc I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the surgery, but I still worry I’m losing to quick. Anyone else had this concern?
Here are a few progress pics:

Emma2.0,

Maybe you don't really need the surgery. You look great already. [emoji6] Keep it up. I will be on my pre-op diet in 3 weeks. Best of luck to you.

I felt this way in the beginning. The first month I lost 40 pounds. The second month nothing. I finally an losing again and am at 52 pounds. I'm at 11 weeks. My weight loss has slowed way down and I'm losing about 2 pounds a week.

I wish it was faster lol

no need to worry about that - your weight loss will slow way down after the first couple of months....

I WISH I was losing that fast! 🙂 Don't worry, there'll be stalls along the way and your body will catch up with itself.

Bariatric surgery rule No. 1:

You can never lose this weight too fast!! (because we're worrying and complaining about wrecked metabolisms later)

What is your exercise routine like? I have lost fairly quickly, too, but I exercise a lot (walking hills, stairs, weights) - something I could never do when I was heavier. My joints just couldn't take it. But now I am afraid NOT to exercise. What are you doing? And super congrats on your progress. Make a ticker for us to follow!

I lost 55 or so in the first 8 weeks. Then nothing at all for the next 8. Now I am losing 2 per week. It will slow down.

I walk 5-7miles a day 5 times a week. I think that is the reason it is falling off so quickly. Just this week, I lost 5 lbs in 3 days, but then again I walked 20 miles in those 3 days.

How do I make a ticket? Would love to know!

Around 10 years ago, I lost 150 pounds on my own. I was walking about the same as you are plus going to the gym. I lost about a pound a day doing that and eating Protein Bars. So, yeah, that amount of exercise can do it!

Go up to the top menu bar and click on "Create" and then "ticker." That will give you the prompts to custom design your own progress ticker to follow. :)

I walk a lot, too - 14,000 steps a day. What I don't get at work, I do on the hills around my house after work. I also am climbing 14 flights of stairs a day (working up to 20.) And upper body weights 3 times a week. I really do think this has helped me, too. I feel so much energy now, even though I can only get down about 600 calories/day. I really want to take advantage of the first 6 months and the 'honeymoon" stage before the appetite starts coming back. Hopefully the major dietary changes I have made (no sugar, wheat, soda, alcohol, coffee, snacking) along with the exercise will work to keep the weight off forever.

im dropping about one and half pounds a day, but i do crazy physical work and walk for miles at a time while eating lean foods with no fat or sugar. you will stall and your body is pretty much resting during the stalls, then you lose like crazy again.

The weight loss will slow its pace the closer you get to a more normal BMI.

It seems like the last 20 pounds I lost took six months, in comparison my first six months I lost well over 100 pounds.

The further out from surgery you are, the more you will be able to eat as well. Some of us have cravings return after a time post op as well.

Enjoy it while it lasts, as long as you are eating healthfully nutrition wise fast weight loss is a desired effect your first 12-18 months.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
