I'm right there with you. Was really hoping for a faster rate of loss in first 6 months but I have only lost 70 pounds and I am two weeks from 6 month anniversary.

You're not doing anything wrong unless you're not following your dr/nut's instructions. on average, you're losing over 4 lbs a week! I think that's fantastic!

I'm just at week 4 and I swear I've weighed the same thing for a week! I liked it way better when I was losing 1 lb a day!

Wrong? Your weight loss is superb!

My only suggestion would to stop comparing yourself to others, so what if they've lost more... Who cares! Just compare yourself to you and what makes you happy and healthy!

Keep doing what you are doing...

yeah I am doing what I am told and I know we all lose diff and I am happy w/the 56 just was thinking it would be more for how big I started out at, I feel so much better and I did my first 5k Sat so I am very very happy, just hard when you see others that in less time have done more, I feel like I am kicking my butt I do about 4 miles aday on the treadmill and can only eat like 600-900 cal a day, as I can only eat like 3 or 4 bites of stuff at a time,

You are doing great! Try not to compare yourself with othetrs because it can be a real ego killer.

I know my issue is not getting all of my liquids in. If you are following your Surgeon's instructions, then you are doing a fantastic job.

Everyone has their own course and you are doing fine!

I am on week 8 & only down 18 lbs. Havent lost a pound in 3 weeks. I am so discouraged. Counting calories and I am amazed at how fast I can get to 1000 calories! Yikes! Trying to make healthy choices but the exercise issue is still an issue. I feel like I just threw away a ton of money on nothing!

Liquids are the hardest thing in the world!! One regular sized bottle of Water is almost torture!!!!

How does this time compare to other times you've tried to lose weight?

How many pounds lost are you averaging in a week? 4.5 pounds a week.

That's awesome. Don't get discouraged -- find other things to compare your loss to.

      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.
