Yes, this is possible. On my follow up appointment to have staples removed (10 days out), I had lost 27 lbs. I actually believed the scales were broke, but was assured after te surgeon weighed himself the scales were fine. I am anxious to return on the the 15th to determine how much I lost in my first month. Best of lucky to you!

At 7 days post op I had lost 14lbs and at 9 days I was down 19lbs. I am now 12 days post op and down a total of 22lbs., so it can happen. My start weight was 273,

At two weeks post op, I had lost 52 lbs. None was water weight because I was on an extremely high dose of Diamox which is a major water pill. Anything is possible!
