I'm right there with you. Well not really, I'm at a slower pace. I'm 10 wks out and just reached 40lb mark. 35-40 more to go! We can do it!

Hey, I'm 10 weeks as well but only down 33 pounds. Wish it was more and instead if only gardening and walking I've been swimming today trying to burn more calories. Hopefully the scales will reflect my efforts lol.

That is about where I am as well. 28 pounds since surgery on April 21. I expected it to be a little faster, but as long as it keeps going down, I am trying not to worry about it. Thanks for sharing.

I am 5 days out and think the word only should be dropped. I'm proud of each of you! You have committed to a very difficult undertaking (if a say so myself :)and you are half way there so in 8-10 weeks if you keep with your current pace you will reach your goal. Congratulations! !

I'm happy to say I'm 8 weeks out and down 35lb. I'm finally at a point where my co- workers who see me daily are noticing. Yesterday I wore a brand new dress ( size 18- down from 22) and EVERYONE had something to say. All good of course. It's amazing what wearing cloths in the right size instead of your old baggies can do I'm so excited for this journey! I wish I would have done it sooner!

Ordered some new work pants and thought I would be brave and order the next size down too Woohoo... The size 10 fit! Someone even complimented my butt considering it is so flat from sitting on it all day. It is pretty exciting when the right size clothes fit!

I agree with kissifur. I think we should all stop saying only. I know this is the very first time I've ever lost 35 pounds in 10 weeks. We have to remember that wls is not a quick fix but a tool. We still have to do our part. I know I'm doing my part and I am happy with any amount of weight loss and so should you all. We can and will reach our goal weights....but only if we put in time and effort. Don't forget to have patience! I wish you all the best of luck and keep uo the great work!

Yes! I had to up my protein/calories to convince my body I was not trying to kill it. I have lost 5lb the past 10 days.

Hi. I am 5 weeks out tomorrow and have lost 19 pounds. Been at a stand still for two weeks. Well, I lost 3 pounds. I am up to about 800 cal/day and 70 grams of Protein. Have been excersizing this week minimum of 30 minutes. Why is this happening? How can I get off the plateau train??

Lots of people talk about the dreaded three week stall. Sounds like some of you maybe experiencing. I haven't got there yet, only 9 days out. But I've read about it on here, around 3 weeks post op lots of people reach a stall in the weight loss. I don't know why...

I am also 7 weeks out, I was stuck for almost 3 weeks then I weighted and 5lbs were gone! It's normal don't worry just keep eating healthy and exercising. I think the exercise is what helped me to get out of that stall! Good luck
