Post loss weight changes?

Danielle0311 · December 2013

Just curious.. Has anyone experienced rapid weight loss after their loss? I have been dieting since the loss but nothing crazy (no crash diets or starving myself just watching my calories) and before this loss losing weight was really difficult but I have dropped 17 pounds in less than two months? I'm not complaining because I could use to lose it but really just wondering if this is normal and if any of you experienced this? It's a little alarming being I usually have a lot of trouble shedding those pounds!!

I dropped about 16 lbs. during my loss recovery. my loss was after IVF which always causes weight gain and I had next to no appetite after my loss for quite a while (depression?). I also started walking to work every day (about 3 mi total each work day) after I was medically cleared.

My point is that it can be completely normal and as a consequence of multiple things (adjusting hormones, watching calories, resuming exercises etc.)

My husband was concerned at one point, but soon after that my weight stabilized (about 10 wk. after loss) so we aren't concerned.

My advice would be to keep monitoring it, and if it doesn't stabilize go see a doctor.

hth!

Thank you ladies for your advice, I think I'm over analyzing alot of things after my loss

That does seem a little extreme. I agree with the others. Keep an eye on it and check in with your doctor.

Also, I wish this would happen to me.

At first I was all excited then when I was eating a lot the last two weeks and still losing I got kind of concerned lol

I didn't lose weight(if anything I put it on through comfort eating). If you keep losing weight get it checked out

I haven't noticed a change at all. I would keep an eye on it.

Like PP have said I would make sure to check in with your doctor if you keep losing that rapidly. I have had the exact opposite problem. Someone has been forcing me to drink lots of wine and eat terribly....well, I guess it's actually me that's been doing that. I have some serious weight to lose for my New Years resolution!

I have lost 4 pounds in the last 5 days as I have been going through my miscarriage. I started my mc with meds on Sunday. I haven't been eating as much but have ate a ton of junk food like cookies for Christmas. I figure if it continues this extreme I will ask but I gained 8 pounds while pregnant so I am not minding right now.

Thanks again ladies, I'm gonna go to the doctor and just have some Bloodwork done to make sure.. Can't hurt!

I lost weight the week of my miscariage but put 10lbs the month after. I am currently working on getting rid of those lbs.

I did nothing but gain weight for a month or two after my loss, but then I had lap ectopic surgery which laid me low for a good few weeks on the exercise front and I just really found it hard to get back on the exercise horse for a long time. I ate like shit and just didn't care, to be honest, eating has always been a comfort thing for me so I delved into it with gusto.
