So I saw my surgeon on Monday and she wasn't pleased with my weight loss. I am 14 weeks post op and have lost 30lbs. She stated that if I don't lose 10-15 pounds in the next 7 weeks until I see her again she thinks I won't lose anymore weight at all. Is my progress really that bad?

Sounds a bit harsh. My surgeon prefers a 2 to 4 pound loss a week. Anything more and she considers it unhealthy (I'd prefer to loose more).

So if it was my surgeon she would consider your loss heathy.

That is harsh! I have pretty much steadily lost at the rate if 2 pounds per week average (sometimes more sometimes less) and I am down 100 pounds since my surgery last June. If you are truly following the program (protein, Water, Vitamins, etc), then you will be fine.

Both my surgeon and nutritionist recommended a 1-2 pound loss per week. I started at a lower BMI though so maybe that's why. I'm at 160 as of today and both my nutritionist and surgeon said the loss would slow down once I got to a more "stable" weight so maybe that's why they set a lower loss goal for me.
