Okay so I feel like a complete a** for feeling concerned about this but…am I losing too much, too fast?
So here is the low-down. In my 15 days of pre-op diet I lost 22 lb. I’m 12 days post op now and I I’ve lost 11 more pounds. So in 27 days, I’ve lost 33 lb. Great, right? Fantastic? It just seems so much faster than I was told to expect. Maybe it’s just my pessimistic nature. Things have been absolutely perfect. I hit my hydration goals every day. I’ve had one mild bout of nausea that I think was a touch of dumping syndrome, but really mild. I’m keeping the full liquid diet down. I only just started recording calories and protein. (My program doesn’t require that the first 2 weeks post op. They just focus on water.) The 3 days I’ve been recording that stuff. I never get more than 650 calories a day but I’m hitting about 60 grams of protein. I know this all sounds like I’m having the perfect experience. I feel kinda guilty about even feeling weird about losing significantly more weight than expected. But 33 lb is just so unexpected.
So, has anyone else had such a dramatic loss so early? Could this be because I have so very much to lose? Or have you had this kind of emotional whiplash to success?
Also, I have a follow up with my dietitian on Friday so I’ll get to talk to her about all this too. And hopefully get to move on the purée!

) Consider yourself fortunate but definitely bring it up when you go on Friday because all concerns should be addressed by medical personnel. Most of all, never feel bad about asking any question in this group!!!
