[jeanetteramirez2 45]

I'm 2 months post op and I've only lost 35 lbs. Is something wrong with me? I dont eat a lot AT ALL. I was 267 on my surgery date and I'm 232 now.

Nothing wrong with you! You dropped the weight of a 3 year old! Holding my soon to be 3 year old who is 32 lbs that's a lot girl! Be happy & proud. From what I've learned the most of this support group we ALL lose at different paces.

I'm happy your down 35 lbs and keep doing what your doing, its working!

I am 8 weeks out and as of Tuesday I was 32 pounds down. I do think to myself some days why is it not coming off faster :-( but then I think about all the loose skin I don't want sagging all over my body and am grateful that it is coming off steadily. I know eventually I will get there. remember surgery isn't a magic it's a tool to help train is for our future. So rejoice in the 35 pounds cause you are doing a fantastic job.....

Don't feel bad... I will be 6 months post op on 10/9 and I am only down 41 lbs. the past month the weight has really slowed. I increased my walking to jogging, increased my intensity and working out a 1/2 longer.... God I hope that helps. I am in such a slump but I will NOT get discouraged !!!!

I lost 30 lbs on my pre op and 35 lbs since surgery. I talked to my nutritionist and she said I'm normal. She said 1st month is 20-30 lbs and about 10 lbs each month after that. I need to excersize more.

I had surgery 7/3 and have only lost 36.5 lbs as of today. Everyone doesn't lose as fast. My starting weight was 259. Stay encouraged.

You don't gain weight that fast, don't expect to lose over night. Your losing weight that's the key point and you guys are right the faster you lose the less time your skin has to shrink. So keep your chin up your doing good.

I'm 5 week post op and have lost 28 pounds. Doctor said I was only expected to loose 25 pounds in 6 weeks. I'm a little ahead. I'm like you, I wanted more and faster. Now I think about the loose skin and I'm okay with progress. ( 2 wks post op, I went into gallbladder removal surgery too)

Thanks ladies!! I guess I should be more grateful and less hard on myself. I've lost 65 including my pre op weight loss.

Everybody is different. You've lost more than me and I'm three months out. You're doing great!!!!!

My surgery date was July 6. Tomorrow will be my 3 month anniversary. My highest weight was 319 last year in May. My weight before surgery was 265.5. Today I am 227.1. So it's 38 lbs. but 9 were the first week post op. sometimes I read posts that people lost so much more than me and I get frustrated. I also get frustrated when I go back and forth a couple of pounds. I am however losing more fat than muscle so that is good and I'm down to a size 18 first time in 20 years. So really it's that we are so anxious to be an ideal weight that we get frustrated. Think that you're losing not gaining like before. You're doing great.

you are doing great. but think of it another way, ask yourself some questions:

Do i Have more energy?

Do I feel better?

Has any medical condition you may have had started to improve?

Are your clothes fitting a little looser?

Then pat yourself on the back and keep on doing what you are doing, It will work.
