Question:
Can you only loose 11 lbs after

5 weeks of surgery eventhough you are on the liquid diet.. Walking also at least a mile. Any hints to loose it fast.    — [Anonymous] (posted on April 30, 1999)

You need to get in touch with your doctor. How much did you weigh befor surgery? Everyone loses at different rates.

If you don't drink lots of WATER. If you DO consume sugared products, such as straight juice. If you DO consume any milk products AT ALL. If you don't consume any vitamins or protein supplement. Yes, you coud lose only 11 lbs. And your type of surgery has a bearing on it, as well.

You might want to check with your surgeon regarding what you are consuming on your liquid diet. I know for myself I lost nearly 11 pounds by the second week post op. I was also walking, slowly and only about 10 minutes a day at first. Then up to about a mile as well.

All I can say is you are doing the right thing. Some people lose faster than others. At first I was discourage at first. Then finally I dropped 100 pounds just like that. If you have any support groups to go to on this I strongly advise it. The encouragement will pump you up so you won"t give up. Keep it up!!!!!!
