Normal?

[DallasMomofTwins 31]

I was sleeved on 9/12 and have only lost 7.5 pounds...i am freaking out as this does not seem nearly close to what others are reporting...is this normal?

Yeah I think that is normal. You're still swollen for one thing. I didn't weigh at all the first week or so because I felt so bad that I just didn't really care. But that sounds about right. That's almost a lb. per day!

Sounds normal to me!

That's exactly where I was at that point too. I am 4 weeks out now, and down 19 pounds. It will happen! :-)

Every person is different. Even people at the same height and hte same weight and the same age will lose differently. Don't stress about it, thats a significant loss. Try as hard as you can to NOT compare yourself to others.

I was sleeved on the same day and I have lost 7 lbs as well. However the last 2 days I have gained a pound both days. I don't know how this is possible since I am eating so few calories. I have just been trying to drink as much Water as I can to see if maybe my body was just retaining water since I was not drinking enough. It is very discouraging though.

I was sleeved on the 12th also and I have lost 9 pounds. I can't seem to get enough Water down, and am assuming if I could get more Water down I might be more successful.

Slow and steady is how we gained, and that's how we should lose too.
