You asked a question and got great answers. Please do not compare yourself to other people. You just had major surgery and are healing. You have lost weight, probably more than you would have on any diet, and your surgeon said you are doing fine. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience periodic stalls and you are due for your first stall. Almost everyone experiences their first stall about three weeks post-op. Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise when cleared. You are doing great.

Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App You really need to learn to NOT compare yourself with others. I mean that with love and care in my heart. As I tell my kids, there will always be someone richer/poorer, prettier/uglier, dumber/smarter, fatter/skinnier, taller/shorter than you. Comparing yourself to a faster loser will be as difficult for you as whomever is currently comparing their 6,8,10 pound weight loss with your 13 pounds.
