Very depressed and feel I'm not moving fast enough!!

Where are you? Is this "normal"??

You've lost 89lbs from your highest weight and 54 lbs from your surgery date. I think that's great! Everyone loses at different rates. If you are following your doctors orders, eating the right foods and exercising, you're going to do great! As long as the scale is moving in the right direction, who cares how long it takes? I know we all want "instant thin", but we we're overweight for years, the weight is going to take time to come off.

For me, I'm only 2 1/2 weeks post-op. I lost 8 lbs the first week, 5 lbs last week and so far this week, I haven't dropped a single pound, but I'm not going to let it discourage me. Sometimes the body needs to re-set. I know the weight will come off when my body is ready to let go of it.

Hang in there, you're doing great!

I had surgery the same day as you. I was 248 the day of surgery and I am fluxing around 179. So when I started I was 16 lb less then you and I am only 20 lb less the your now, so your progress pretty much the same as mine. Once I hit 185 I slowed down a lot, I had to start exercising and really paying attention to what I eat. And its really easy for me to gain a pound or two if I don't. Right now have a goal do 1-1.5 lbs. a week compared to the four to six lb I was losing a week before. I have only 20-30 to go to goal weight so I am pretty happy.

Had some set backs with knee injury ACL, no exercise. On Tuesday 6/10/14 I was diagnosed as having Hypothyroid and started meds. Not sure if it may help shed some more weight now, but as I read all my fellow post-op Nov buddies the majority have lost at least 80 or more. The best and bright side is I'm really glad I'm officially off type 2 diabetes metaformin and high blood pressure meds, AC1 results are below 6 and my Endricologist who wasn't for my wls is now happy I did pursue my sleeve surgery.

For now my goal is to still get to 170ish, but really I have accomplished my main one, which was getting off meds!!

Everyone keep up the great job and looking forward to reading up on your success stories!!!
