6 Weeks Out And Losing Approx 1Lb A Week.... :-/

[lovelygirl01 61]

Hey guys. Just want some advice before makin a call to my dr's office.

I am 6 weeks out.... And losing 1lb/week if that! Is that normal?!?! I feel like my boy is not goig to lose anymore, and it sucks.... Very discouraged!

Here are my stats:

Surgery date: 6/18

Pre op weight: 229lbs

Surgery weight: 215lbs

Today weight: 186-188lbs.

Any advice would be very muh appreciated!

Ps: i walk 4-5x a wk, drink plenty of Water, eat as I'm supposed, and take my Vitamins....

Perhaps I'm confused but if today's weight is 188 and your pre-op weight was 229, that's a loss of 41 lbs. July 30th was six weeks post-op so you lost 6.83 lbs per week. It don't get much better than that. Congratulations! Well done! Celebrate your success and keep doing exactly what you're doing. You may be having a bit of a stall. Natural part of the weight loss process and it will pass. Patience and realistic expectations are absolutely crucial. Stay focused on following the protocol, stay active, and stay away from the scales for at least a week, two would be even better. Absolutely no reason to be discouraged.

6 weeks is about the time my weight loss slowed down, but losing is losing and you are doing great. Stalling will happen but keep focused and eat Protein also.

You are losing weight slowly & it's better that way.

I'm with DLC! You are and have lost a great amount of weight just so far! I mean u lost over 40 lbs in 6 weeks?!?!?! That's sick!

Just think if you lost another even 20 lbs in the next 6 weeks you will have lost over 60 lbs in 3 months OMG THAT'S ONLY 3 MONTHS!!

I hope that I can do as awsome as you girl! Keep your chin up! Your doing amazing!

The guys nailed it. Have faith that if you are doin as instructed with regards to diet and exercise you will lose. The surgery is working. It is hard when it slows down and your expectations don't match up with your current rate. Be positive, have faith, and hang in there! You will be reaching your goal before you know it!

You're doing great. Just relax & makes sure you are eating, getting Protein. Youre smaller so it's going to come off slowly. I wouldnt be too concerned with poundage, are you losing inches?
