7 pounds in one week

my weight loss has been on the slow side. up until last week I had lost approximately 23 pounds since march 25th.

WELL, I just had my fourth fill on Monday and as of today have lost 7 pounds (in five days)

Im not complaining about the weight loss but Im worried about it being healthy

Have you been able to eat good foods without being too tight? Are you able to drink all of your fluids for the day? Are you sure you're eating the right foods and exercising?

If so, you may have hit your sweet spot and are dropping the pounds. If you want to be safe you can always double check with your doc. If you aren't able to take in an appropriate amount of food or liquids, or are vomiting frequently then talk with your doctor.

I have beeb losing weight pretty steady the first 3 weeks post op then ddnt lose any. I had my first fill most 2 weeks ago. I went down 6 lbs the first week, now Ive gained it back. Im getting another fill on sept 1. My doc said I might have lots of restriction at first cause my stomach is getting used to the new tightness, once that wore off, my appetite it back and I gained weight....its weird!

I would think some of that may have to do with only being on liquids and mushies the first couple of days. Sometimes right after a fill, I will drop 4-5 lbs super quick and then level back out.

Make sure you are getting in your Water and you aren't dehydrated. If you are tracking/journaling your food, are you getting in your recommended Protein? Sounds like you are not eating much, 1 bite of meatball and 1 bite of Pasta. If you aren't able to get anything more down by Monday, you might want to call your doc.

I think I may be a tad to tight, Im drinking a Protein shake now. feeling a bit weak:bored:

My dr is not back in the office until tuesday:unsure:

You could be a tad tight from slight swelling. Some people swell a bit when they get a fill. I have not really felt like that, but I have heard that others do get some swelling after a fill and that can make you feel real tight.

I hope you are feeling better and able to get some of that Protein shake down!
