Is loosing 3 pounds a week unrealistic for someone who is exercising 4-5 times a week?

You rock! Keep up the great work! I workout in the pool 4-5 times a week. I can burn so many more calories than on the treadmill!

I don't think it's unrealistic but it's on the high end...

It really depends on your body, everybody is different. For me, I do kickboxing 6 days a week and eat 1200 or less calories and I'm ecstatic if I lose 2#/ week

I was SMO when I started.. and only walking.. and lost 4lbs a week at first.

The more weight that is lost, the slower it comes off. As I get closer & closer to goal, it becomes more difficult. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
