Frustrated

Hi guys, prior to surgery I was 306 and at the time of surgery I was 282. Now I'm 248 almost at my 3 month post op. That's only 34lbs, is that normal?

ONLY 34 pounds in 3 months... um, yes it's great. Have you ever heard of anyone losing that much weight that hadn't had surgery? It's a very good amount to have lost already.

What is "normal" for you might not be normal for someone else, so do not get stuck on the idea that you need to compare yourself and your progress to others.

Make sure you're following your Nut/surgeon's instructions, get your Water and Protein requirements and try to do exercise several times a week. Your body will go at the pace it is happy with, and comparing yourself to others is just a waste of time.

You've lost approx 12% of your body weight in 3 months...

At that rate, you'll be around 150 pounds within 12 months...

I'd say you're doing ok...

You're doing wonderfully! Congrats!

Thank you guys. I was worried because some lost over 50 in 3 months so I thought I was doing something wrong.

Was that person your clone? If you aren't identical then don't compare. There are too many variables. Simply focus on yourself and your progress.
