Tomorrow 8/8 will be my 3 months and I have only lost 36 pounds. I see where others have lost 50 or more!!

That's 3 lbs a week average which is pretty dang good! Don't worry about everyone else. We are all different. If you keep that same rate up you would lose over 156 lbs by your 1 year anniversary! See in the grand scheme of things that's a LOT. Not that you need to lose 156lbs and you probably won't even continue to lose 3 lbs a week most will stall ect..l'm just saying your doing wonderful!!!@@Deanna66

Thank you. I am pleased with what I have lost, was just worried it was not enough. I only had 100 to lose so I guess I am doing good.

Ugh...as hard as it is...comparing your loss with others will only result in alot of unnecessary anxiety. Not only are our bodies completely different from one another, our wls journeys are unique to the particular individual. When you consider age, sex, surgeon, metabolism, medical histories, genetics, etc...its like comparing apples with oranges.

As long as you are following your surgeon's & nutritionist plans...you are doing GREAT!

[yankee2gal2@yahoo.com 22]

Exactly. Follow your doctors orders. Like I have said many times. I didn't put it on over night I'm not going to lose it over night

Also it really depends on the person's starting weight. If someone has 200lbs to lose, they typically lose faster than someone who only has 100lbs lose. BUT, percentage wise, they are on track with each other.

I am also 3 mths out and at 30 lbs since surgery .I have always been a slow loser thats why I had the surgery but I didn't count on continuing to lose slow.Some people said I wasn't eating enough and increase calories. So I did and nothing has changed yet.I am worried because I know its only going to get slower.

Lol some months I would loose 2 pounds. Then I would ignore the scale for a while reminding myself stalls are normal. Then I would drop 5 pounds in a week
