Had Gastric Bypass And Losing Weight. Is This Normal?
Hi I had gastric bypass on Oct. 17, 2013. In the first 3 weeks I lost 30+lbs. Now I have slowed down weight loss greatly and have lost about 5 lbs. every two weeks. Is that normal? If not what should I do? I have been good with staying on the recommended foods, as per Dr. orders. Perhaps my only week point is that I don't get 64 oz. of water each day.

Hi,
It is normal to lose weight after gastric bypass. I consult to follow your doctor's advise and recommendations and to consume more water.
Wish you health!
