Only losing 1lbs a day

[Elode 8,093]

Sometimes I think this losing weight makes people all pissy...must be hormones! People are always "flouncing". Chill!

I think it was just the wording of the original post. The "only" in there.

Only, made it sound like she was disappointed in the amount of weight she was losing thus far. So I can see how the other poster took it that way.

I don't think the internet is for everyone.

I agree..

I think that it would be quite beneficial to the flow of the board if everyone made a point to remember that we are here to lift each other up as we all go through the same journey.

I realize some of you may not want to hear this, but there is no "right" way to do this. Each person's success will be different.. each person's body will respond differently. What worked for you may not work for someone else. Even our doctors don't agree on diet, exercise, etc... So before we slam down our "fist of absolute truth," let's try to remember that we are all on this journey together, and lift one another up.

I am 1 month 5 days post op and down 34 pounds since surgery. I was lucky enough to skip the 3 week stall but now it makes me even more anxious and nervous for when my first one hits. There are so many things that can affect this like everyone says...my doc has us on a full month of liquid which could be the reason I skipped the 3 week stall. Also I have quite a bit to lose. So many factors that change person to person. Anyway thankful for my progress, I really am enjoying this "honeymoon" stage.

comparing weight loss to others will only lead in heartache, you wont lose as fast as some or as slowly as others, its the way it is. your weight loss is to get to a goal weight. if you set too many mini goals you'll get discouraged easily, same if you just have one goal then the task can seem too daunting. Take it as it comes, follow your plan and be happy with your results.

I couldn't agree more or said it any better. Bravo Geekguy

You may not hit a stall. I never did. Lost steadily hit goal at 6 months. Not everyone hits a stall. So hopefully you will not either.

I lost 20 pounds in the first two weeks as well. Now I am going into my second week of my third week stall.

[bobbyswife 862]

When I was first post op I was THRILLED when I was in the lb/day phase. Now at 3 months post op I'm lucky if I get a lb a week sometimes. Then out of nowhere I'll get 6 in one week. There is NO normal lol. Roll with it, girlfriend - this is a crazy ride!

@@nikki1980 …A pound a day? That’s phenomenal – congratulations! When you’re losing a pound a day, you should be dancing for joy! Everyone here is right – you’re doing great. Now, prepare yourself ahead of time in case your weight loss slows down. It will, but you can’t get disappointed. It’s supposed to! You’re right on track, and if you keep eating just like your surgeon says, you’ll stay right on track, even if you have challenging days or weeks or even months. It all works out in the end if you eat right.
