Not losing consistently

yeah, I've had diabetic educators say the same. Maybe it works for some. But my blood sugars are completely normal now, even after fruit (which before would spike my sugars.)

Mine are normal now too, but I am sticking with the low carb. I see no good reason to add them back. I still eat my veggies.

Thank you.
I'm afraid to stop weighing daily. In the past, the only time I've been consistent in my weight loss has been when I weighed daily and kept myself accountable. I'm terrified if I stop, I will weigh myself only to discover I'm 20lbs heavier. I know it's not rational though, but the fear and anxiety is real.

When I went to visit my nutritionist after 4 weeks, she told me that I should lose up to 10 pounds a month's, to me that is reasonable. Even if you lose 8 lbs a month, 2lbs a week, in 5 months that's 40lbs. Just don't get so frustrated. This surgery was just a tool. How it works for some is different for others. Just stay on track and you'll be fine.

I've averaged about 10 pounds a month in the 6 months since I've had my surgery (down 64 since surgery, 94 total). My loss is much slower than I expected it to be and even got discouraged early on because my surgeon asked me why I wasn't losing more weight at my first 2 post op appointments. I've noticed that I tend to lose on a pattern and I stall every month for 1-2 weeks around my period. It's frustrating but it's my bodies way to dealing with this process so I've come to accept it. I started this process a year ago July 19th and I'm down just under 100 pounds so the frustration and stress has been worth it in the long run. I would like to lose another 37 pounds to reach my ultimate goal.

I feel life is a constant stall and bam, I'm down 5 pounds! Just remember that slowly but surely it will come off. I am down 80 pounds since last August (surgery 11/22) and it has been a struggle. I'm down maybe 5 pounds since April and I've had multiple previous stalls. All you can do is focus on the finish line and stay on track with your food/exercise. You will reach your goal :).
