My weight loss is going slower than expected

I just can't seem to break out of the 260s. My last weighing was 262.2, down from 276.4. At least it's something!:)

The drs office told me I should have lost more weight at 1 month out from surgery. Only down 18 and they expected around 26. What a buzzkill. Honestly believe I've done everything I'm supposed to. HW 265, Pre-surg 250, current 232, goal 140. Myfitnesspal name TheDogmomma6, add me please! Need support/friends.

I'm 6 weeks post op and only lost 29 pounds. I'm so upset with this. My doctor says I'm doing good but I want more off. Sometimes I think this isn't working for me... I'm very discouraged

I'm 5 weeks out and down 27.5lbs. I'm very happy with my weight loss.

When was the last time u lost this much? U don't want to lose too fast and u certainly didn't put in the weight overnight.

That is almost 5 pounds a week. That is good weight loss. You wouldn't have been able to lose that before surgery. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I know I'm a lil better now. My daughter just sent me a side by side pic of before and after. I can tell a difference so I'm ok with it now... Thanks

Are you counting the liquid pre-op diet or just after surgery? I expected to loose a lot faster also. Getting sick of friends and family asking how much I have lost every time I talk to them and then saying "oh". I am four weeks out today and have only lost 14 pounds since surgery and a total of 31 pounds including my pre-op liquid diet. I cannot tell a difference at all.

First stop saying only- 14 pounds is 14 pounds. I would count pre and post as weight lost. Plus are you measuring because often times we are losing inches and the scale might not move. It is a process and a tool not an overnight solution. Depending on how much you work out you could also be building muscle. Believe me in the next month to two months it will be very obvious what you have lost. Just be happy with every pound lost. There was a reason you had the surgery to begin with and more then likely because you couldn't get the weight off.. Hang in there.
