Slow weight loss

[annettedimond 2]

Hi please can anyone help I'm into week 4 post op and last week barely lost any weight in the 5 weeks that's including the pre op diet I've only lost 21 pounds this seems so small to what some lose I'm wondering if I'm doing any thing wrong or is it because I don't have a huge amount to lose? Help please

That's a great weight loss! Not everyone is the same and it depends on how much you have to loose. Be proud of yourself and follow the plan. I was at the same amount as you and now I'm three months out 58 lbs gone. You should measure yourself so that the weeks you have low weight loss you can see if you loose inches. Also when is the last time you lost 21 lbs in 4 weeks? Good luck!

Some people are slower losers than others, stick to your plan, get exercise in and you will be fine.

The theme around here is that the less you weigh initially, the slower you lose. Is that your case? Either way, as someone else said, when did you last lose 21lbs that quickly, it is an achievement. Good luck to you.

There is no 'normal' and you can't just your loss by anyone else's. There is no ruler that says at two weeks you lose this, at four weeks you lose this, etc. Everyone is unique. If you follow your doctor's instructions and do everything they say, it'll come off. Have you tried taking measurements to judge any changes?
