[pattycake71963 84]

Hello I had surgery on December 26, 2012 About seven weeks now.... On week number 3 ,I plateaued didn't lose anything for a week And also on week six..... It is a scary feeling.... I have lost 35 pounds but feel like I should've lost about 40-45 If I had not plateaued out...... I do know I've lost a lot of inches I went from a size 24 to pick extra-large in a skirt....

My doctor said I was not taking in enough calories (I was currently taking in 300 to 350 in )..... Wants me to get it up to 700 cal.... This was two weeks ago.... And still not at 700 cal but I am now at least a 550-600 Day.... This week I lost 3 1/2 pounds pounds.... So maybe he knows what he's talking about LOL

I had surgery dec 27 th and I have been stuck for 3 weeks now. I am worried this is all I am going to loose

Almost all have hit the stall at two or three weeks out. You body is just catching up. Take your measurements during this time and I bet you are loosing inches. Keep positive the weight will start coming off again. Put the scales away.

I started out at 296 pounds in July 2012... Insurance maybe do a six-month program with my doctor prior to surgery.... I lost 32 pounds Prior to surgery (in the 6 months)

Had the surgery on December 26 And I have lost 34 pounds post surgery

Altogether 66 pounds..... But it has been very slow and go due to all the plateaus

.... I feel the same, I just want to start losing and continue to lose

You will. Its kind of good that you are slow losing, because of excess skin also because of gall stones, believe me they are no fun. I think Im losing slow to. Im content with it because I didnt put all this weight on in a few months, no it took years. Remember also usualy when you lose weight slow it will stay off. Keep your head high and stay positive, the weight will leave just give it time.
