24 pounds in five days!!!!!!

Hello all, hope everyone is riding the storm out OK and has electric. I was a bit concerned yesterday as I weighed myself in the morning. I weighed 299 the day of surgery and yesterday I weighed 276. That is 24 pounds in 5 days.. I was really surprised but I have also heard that losing to quick can be dangerous so I called the Weight Loss Center and they said if i wasn't having any problems or symptoms not to worry. I have been following the guidelines and Doctors instructions to a t and I really feel good. I am healing well and have even tolerated a few foods, on their orders of course. So I guess my question is, has anyone else lost this quick????? And can I expect it to continue like this

men tend to lose weight faster than the ladies ,I had surgery the same day with my freind a male & he lost weight so fast  like almost 30  a week ,just try & do exercise so you can tighten the loose skin you are young so alot of skin will fall baxk in place ,best of luck & keep it up ,& we live close togather both my my sis live in Nicholas & brother & aunt

wow your doing great it took me a month to lose 30 pounds. but i have heard men lose faster than women, lucky dogs.

Hey Guy,

Keep all of up to date on how you are doing. Be sure to call them back if you continue to have alot of weight loss. I was told that when I have the surgery to only expect a 2-3 pound loss  per week. I am not intending to scare you I just don't want you to allow yourself to be pushed aside.

Warm Regards,

That is so awesome! I'm almost 2 months out of lap and have only lost 20 lbs. Keep up the good work!

I lost 28 pounds in the first week after surgery.  My surgeon had me start eating 4 meals a day at that point and I got in touch with the program dietitian and she gave me some tips.  The second week my loss was only 7 pounds and seemed to stay steady after that.  I lost 200 pounds in the first 8 months.  Men definitely lose quicker than women.  Congrats on the loss and good luck.

Hello all , it has been awhile since I have logged on here. I have been doing great and have accomplished my goals and beyond. I have never made a better decision in my life. I weighed 330 pounds before surgery and had a 22% body fat and now I weigh 198 and have a 12% body fat. I have been working out at the gym for 9 months straight now and I feel great. Check out my photos you will see. Hang in there all. This path is worth it. Take care....
