Losing TOO much weight TOO fast???
For the past 4 days now I've been realy nauseous and not felt good at all---haven't really ate anything but have been drinking. I called my PCP this morning and he wanted me to come in at 2 to see what the problem was---so to make a long convo short he thinks I'm loosing too much weight too fast. REALLY?? Is there such a thing?? I am still in shock---I don't really know what my goal is from my surgeon but I thought losing 194 lbs in 5 months was damn good!!! He sent me to get some lab work and a urine test (I couldn't pee--I never can) so I guess I'll find out the results next week. He said maybe I'm malnutritioned---THAT I can see but losing too much weight too fast??? Eh I'm still not too sure about that one. I go back to Indiana next month for my 6 month check up with my surgeon so hopefully she'll have some answers for me.
Seriously can you loose too much too fast???
~Angie!
well if you can most all of us have done it lol , you know it is funny before we had surgery everything that was wrong with us was becasue we were fat , not that we had the surgery everything that is wrong with us is because we are losing weight too fast or because we had the surgery in the first place,,,,,cant win can we. how much protein are you getting in from protein drinks? are you taking at least 2 multi vits. 2 calcium citrate, 2 super b complex ?

Angie,
Your weight loss has been really phenomenal and at first I thought it might be too rapid but you did have lots to lose and those folks tend to lose more and more quickly. If you are keeping your protein up, taking your vitamins and drinking your 64-80 ounces of water every day then you're probably not in a problem area yet. How-ever I want to stress that becoming anorexic is not the goal of this surgery so be aware that you do need to eat something every day so you can learn what eating feels like in your new pouch. Since you have trouble urinating it makes me wonder if you're getting in enough water.
Just a thought.
Anyway, congrats on your success. You are awesome.
Hugs,
Lana
