Am I losing weight too quickly?
Hi everyone!
Not that I'm complaining, but my lap band surgery was one week ago today, and I'm down 17 pounds since then (plus 8 lbs pre-surgery). I'm already into my "skinny pants" and not even back to work yet. (pause here for the YIPPPEEE--- I've lost 25 lbs)
I'm fine-- and feeling well (except for occasional dizziness early in the AM)... just so NOT used to losing weight. In fact-- I'm feeling really good and only on 2 of my 6 pre-op meds. I also have LUPUS and terrible arthritis pain.... but not since the surgery-- and I haven't been taking any of my pain meds for the lupus post-surgery!
My husband assures me that this is normal--- even for a lap band-- since I'm on a liquid, high protein diet. But the weight loss still seems alarmingly fast. I even wonder if, since I'm only on liquids and no longer have the horrible pain throughout my body-- if I might have a gluten allergy and I'm now "detoxed"???
Maybe I just need to adjust my expectations???
Anyway-- any of your thoughts/perspectives will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks so much!
