Tminus - my weight loss has been slow too.

My BMI was 35 when I made the decision to have surgery (sleeve) but I lost 14lbs prior to pre op and 7lbs on the pre op diet. I am now 24 weeks post op and have 'only' lost 36lbs since surgery (of which 11lbs was in the first 2 weeks post op). So overall it has been roughly 1lb per week after the first 2 weeks. But it is still coming off at that kind of rate (with the usual plateau from time to time). I don't have that much more to lose now (current BMI just over 26) and I feel amazing. So stick to your plan, don't cheat and keep at it. Good luck.

Recent studies suggest drinking 1/2 your body weight in ounces for maximizing weight loss. Even more if you are working out a lot. This goes for everyone, not just WLS patients. So unless you weigh 128 pounds, the popular "64 ounces" is not nearly enough.
