Is this normal weight loss?

I had my RNY on Thursday, April 19th.  When they weighed me at the hospital on thursday i weighed 239 and today I weigh 231.  Please dont get me wrong I am very pleased but I am just curious if this is normal to lose 8 lbs in 4 days?  I have done everything my Dietician has told me.  3 shakes a day and 2 liquid snacks and actually dont have a problem getting them done (except the strawberry, YUK).  

 

2 pounds a day is great. amazing actually.

Thank you for the response, I just want to ensure that I am doing eveything correct. 

Heck that is fabulous. 8 days after surgery I was still up from my surgery weight due to fluid retention.

Yes it's water weight!  I lost 14lbs my first week post-op.  It will slow down after a few weeks.  Last week I lost 5lbs.  Still great weightloss though. 

I had my surgery 2 days before you and I'm down 11 freaking pounds!  Granted, I've only been on clear liquids this week and just started protein shakes yesterday, so I'm not surprised to be down a lot.  I'm hungry for some texture!  Can't wait to get past this liquid stage.

Good luck to you.  I hope you have continued success.

Only you know if you are doing everything correctly. 8 lbs in 4 days? Have you ever lost that much before in such a short time?
It will be easier on you if you don't compare  yourself to others.
Follow your guidelines and the weight will come off.

I am looking for shakes to eat after my surgery. What type are you having?

Bariatric advantage 

I've ordered mine online since I'm not close to the office to pick it up.....how does it taste? My hubby went to walmart to buy some for me to start trying for after the surgery and oh my lord...it was horrible but I know after surgery I will be starving and taste won't matter...I actually got it down with a straw and it helped since i didn't have time for breakfast before church so I know they will satisfy me.....was just curious how the bariatric advantage tasted for the price? 
Did you order your vitamins from them as well? 

Take care and sounds like you're doing GREAT!!  So ready for mine....waiting to hear back from the scheduler at Dr. H's office to see when I can sign up for pre-op and actual surgery!
