I lost 30 lbs. in the first 14 days post op. I weighed 378 the day of surgery and now 16 months post op I have lost 144 lbs. Believe me the weight loss will be fast in the beginning and then it will drastically slow down. Congratulations on the weight loss so far.

That sound like a lot, but alot of it was probably water and fluid weight...not actually bodyfat loss. You are likely fine and healthy! Good luck to you

You p5robably gained some water weight in the hospital and so much of the early loss is the excess fluids. Fast loss is fun though!
