Hi Kimmie,

I too am down 11 lbs since surgery. I told my hubby I thought I might be loosing too fast. One day last week it seemed like I at alot, but in reality it wasnt and still woke up to weigh a lb less. I think once I start eating real food it might not come off so fast.

Don't be worried about the fast weight loss, remember it's not just fat you're losing you were pumped full of Gas and IV fluids during surgery which added a few lbs to you. Everyone is different but a big loss while on the liquid phase is great, that way if you gain a few lbs back once you get onto solid foods and the swelling has gone down (when you're less restricted) you won't be freaked out by gaining a few lbs back! Your body knows what it's doing so just follow the post-op diet, make sure you are getting enough calories (so your body doesn't go into starvation mode and your weight loss totally stalls) and focus on healing.

You girls are doing great!
