Weight loss slowing down

[Makaila 0]

Had my surgery on the 9th or December and including my liquid diet the week before I have lost 40 pounds to date. The last 10 pounds of that has taken almost 3 weeks is that normal? I'm I started the soft food diet 10 days ago maybe that's a factor.

Congratulations on your surgery! 40lbs in a about 6 six weeks is a great start! Your body is catching up. Stay the course and follow what your doctors have laid out and the weight will start dropping again. It could be slow and steady, and that can be frustrating. But it didn't' go on overnight so we have to be patient. The first 9 months or so I averaged about 10 lbs a month, some weeks nothing then a nice drop, we all lose differently.

Good luck and continued success!!

Yes, this could be your normal. We all lose somewhat differently. Just stay on track & you'll be pleasantly surprised. I lost an average of 12 lbs per month. Most dropped rapidly in first 6 months, then it slowed down for 2 month but later the weight loss picked up again. I met my goal in 1 year. So stay with it & Good Luck!!!!
