54 Days...

Just checking in to ask if its normal to have 8 pounds of weight loss in 54 days of Sobriety? I weighed 89 Kg before soberity and now I am 85 Kg.

I put weight on as i kinda ate ice cream as a reward for not drinking .. but if you were drinking like i was, it was 1000 kcal extra per day .

If you're worried go see a Dr and have a full checkup

congratulations on the 54 days ,

Bestwishes, m

my gut feels a lot smaller so I think it is pretty normal. I think you could lose that just by not drinking. Beer especially and mixed drinks are a lot of added calories a day. 8kg is a lot but I think it is possible depending on your body proportions. If you keep losing like that I could only recommend seeing a doctor about it.

Some lose and some gain - but like mecanix said, if you're worried it might be best to set your mind at rest and see your Dr, malgudy?

I lost weight too, but I started a work out program shortly after quitting.
If you don't replace the booze with sweets, I would think that it's fairly normal.
However, many people crave sugar after quitting so they hit the sweets hard.
