I feel the same way. I am 9 weeks out and 42 lbs down (38 according to my surgeon' date=' but she didn't know I had gained 4lbs right before surgery. Haha)... At any rate, I see all these people losing like crazy an I wonder what I'm doing wrong!

I am also around 9 weeks out and down about 45 pounds. I feel like that is really awesome! Just think about it... if you take off 42 pounds every two and a half months.... it will add up quickly!

I think we're all in the same boat. I've only lost about 40lbs as well and have barely gone down a size. I see that I'm getting skinnier but my clothing size doesn't reflect it at all. Everyone keeps asking how much I've lost and telling me that I'm getting skinny. I've lost 62lbs total but 38 since surgery. I think I just have to look at it in a positive way. I only have 3 more lbs until I'm half way!! That's incredible in 5 months work!! I would have never been able to lose this much so quick without this surgery. Hopefully in another 5 months I'll be at my goal. It'll go by quick.

42 lbs at 9 weeks is 4.6 lbs a week! THAT'S AWESOME!!!

That's actually allot of weight! Go to the gym or even a place that sells weights and pick up what you've lost and just hold it for a few minutes then put it down....then you will really appreciate how much you've lost. Keep on keeping on...you will win the battle

I know that 35-40 pounds in two months time is nothing to sneeze at. But I feel I'm so far behind everyone else. I downloaded this "Get To Goal" app that plots your weight loss next to averages in a graph and it keeps telling me to "Keep Working" because I'm way below the average.

Dumping may be a blessing in disguise...I hope to heck to get it...just haven't pushed anything to try.

What kind of Calcium supplements are you taking? I can't seem to find one I like or can tolerate well.

I'm taking the calcium citrate and Skinny Cow cheese. ;o)

Rhyzell,

How is Skinny Cow? I have heard several other forum members mention it . Is that the one that comes in tiny wedges? and do they have different flavors ? any recommendations ?

Thanks

I have a very upset pouch today. Not sure what I did to her but geez I feel like I am back at square 1! I can't even think about drinking a Protein Shake without the thought of loosing it. Hmmmmm I guess it's liquids for me for a couple of days!

RJ, I think you might be thinking about Laughing Cow cheese. I love that stuff! I dip my almonds in it!

Sara Beth,

Thanks!, Thought they were the same thing .... Do you know the difference? I'm just concerned about the fat content.

I have never been a big cheese eater but i do love feta cheese on everything , do they have Feta cheese ?

My favorite is the Swiss. The Tomato is a bit much. I haven't tried the others. It is really good with crackers and a bit of turkey!
