Slowly losing!

[nursie026 36]

Surgery: November 1st and I'm down 31 pounds! Doctor said I should average 10lbs a month for the first 6 months.. What!?? She must be mistaking.. Cause I go a week or two of no weight loss.. I eat what's required and walk at least 30 minutes a day. I sure hope I lose like she thinks I will...

I had surgery December 4th. I lost 18 pounds my first week, but this last week it's been fluctuating and not going down. My doc says it's normal. Hang in there! A 31 lb weight loss is still an achievement!!

It doesnt matter how fast you lose as long as you are losing and not gaining

Patience is key!! follow the program and the weight will come off!!

I'm in the same boat. We must be patient. We are eating so little it must come off!! :-).

Here is another thought: slower weight lost could be better for the body.

I am a very slow loser too, but I stick to the plan, eat according to plan, and exercise like crazy. At one point the WLS numbers stayed the same but my size went down - go figure. If you stick with the plan you will be a success please don't focus just on the scale numbers other things are happening as well. Good luck and be patient.

I am new to this forum. I had RUX-N-Y on November 20, 2012. So far I have lost 19lbs. Unfortunately, I have gained and lost the same 1lb for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Has anyone else experienced this. I am walking more, taking in more Protein and trying to eat a little more (which is very difficult to do) to try and jump start my weight loss again. I am so afraid that I won't lose anymore weight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Katie: I'm in the same boat. My surgery was 11/19. Just be patient and keep doing what you are doing. It will come off

HI Katie..we share the same surgery date I'm also at 19 lbs..been going up and down for a week...i went for my one month checkup today and was told that is great and keep doing what I'm doing....they were very positive about how much I've lost so I feel better! Was really interesting tho cuz I had to attend a group meeting and I was the only female in the class...nice tO see that men are really addressing their health issues as well

You will.

Thank you for all of your support. As of December 27th I am now down 25lbs total. I stalled for about 2 1/2 weeks, but by increasing my Protein and changing up my walking routine, I am dropping again.
