Okay, so this is my first posting on here. Don't know if I am doing this in the right area or whatever. I'm Alex I got my surgery in November, my starting weight was 246 I am now about 205/210 I keep fluctuating those 5 lbs. I'm primarily eating salads really and completely changed my eating habits. I only eat lean Protein and although I don't drink as much Water as I should I am increasing it slowly. I've received about three fills so far. To me, it doesn't seem as if I am losing weight as fast as I have seen others losing which does have me very concerned. I wasn't expecting to only be at 205 by now, I was I'd be losing 1-2lbs per weeks as my nutritionist told me before I got the surgery. I've mad tremendous accomplishments so far like my pants size has gone down to a size 12 from 16 and my shirt to a medium/large but my belly is still as big as ever. lol can come one please just tell me if I am doing something wrong possibly? or is this normal? Also I have incorporated some exercise not as much as I was hoping because the gym out here is ridiculously expensive and I am 19 and a college student. So, I was waiting to go back to school to join the planet fitness up there.

Thank you! I truly appreciate it a lot. Like I've been asking around some people are saying eat every three hours, some say when you get hungry but you do sound right. So thank you.

I don't add anything really. I have a spinach salad, I use fresh lemon juice and onions and pepers. I'm not expecting miracles! I'm doing all the work it just doesn't seem normal which I was told it wasn't .. It's not the unappreciative like c'mon on 19 and go to college full time, I'd love to look amazing for the frat boys lol jk but no so I can finally go to the doctors and don't have to hear him say also that I need to lose some weight or having fear of becoming diabetics. I truly take this as a blessing. Which is why I TRYING to do my best and asking for advice but tbh I feel as if I am also getting much criticism as well. Like I did do this with expectations much like anyone else, I got a map on how MY journey would be post op and that I'm not on tract with is suppose to be happening yes I am concerned so asked...

No because at first I lost about 20lbs in the first week then after that it slowed down tremendously. so technically in about three months (I got my surgery in early november) I've only lost 20lbs she nor me were expecting it to be that slow.

It is not that I have unrealistic goals or expectations its BEING TOLD that I'm doing poorly that had me concerned.

I guess the fact that my nutritionist said it wasn't normal I started to freak out a bit more but thank you all for the advice and everything.

no, being that I lost about 15-20 lbs with the not eating thing after surgery, I'm only losing about 1lb a week and I am moderately active

I just got off the phone with my nutritionist, She said I'm not doing as well as she was expecting so back to the doctor I go ;(

It doesn't seem like I was doing great, about four days after I was down to about 225 then from there I'm now about 210. I got my surgery done in November it doesn't sound good at all to me, it doesn't sound normal. It actually sounds pretty crappy.
