SandeeD 363 Posted February 9, 2014 Girl, 35 pounds gone in 5 weeks??? That's FABULOUS! I'm not yet post-op, but I can't see anything wrong with 7 pounds lost a week. You shouldn't compare yourself to others because everyone's journey is different. Don't be depressed, live up to your name Happy Rhonda! You are making phenomenal progress! 3 kkrose, LRG2014 and SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cindy Quebedeaux Breaux 9 Posted February 9, 2014 You are doing great. I am 8 weeks and 3 days and I am down 55 pounds. But I have had defeniciencies that have caused me problems. I have a major B1 defeniciency and I can't stand for long, week all the time, vision is getting worst. I fall easy. Alot of other issues with this. Still I can't exercise yet. I am going to try an ab lounger this week in my house but I can't go in the neighborhood and walk because I could fall and I probably wouldnt make it even a 1/4 of a mile.

JeanZ_RN 378 Posted February 9, 2014 You've lost an average of 7 lbs a WEEK and you don't know if that's good?? It's GREAT! And since you're working out that much, you're probably adding muscle, which weighs more than fat per cubic inch, so that makes your weight loss numbers even more impressive. Good job! 1 LRG2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LuminousLife 145 Posted February 9, 2014 You are doing great! I am 9 weeks out and down 39lbs. I also workout everyday. Try to enjoy the journey. And on the plus side a "slower" loss is easier on your skin 2 LRG2014 and MrsPrettyLady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
