How are people losing 10lbs/month?!

[mention=298739]thisisthenewme[/mention] I'm 2 weeks away from the 2 month mark :/ I'm just trying to stay positive. It's hard though! lol

I can go three weeks with no loss then lose 7 lbs. I don't actually lose 11 lbs a month but it has averaged to that over time. The stalls break and the sun comes out again! I'm not in a stall right now so I'm all positive and cheery but when they hit it really does scare me. I try so hard not to freak out though because they ALWAYS end.

@joann454, what is your diet like a day? and your exercise routine?

i'm just not losing anything since like 2 weeks post surgery and so it's been minimum 3 weeks with no weight loss.
It just really sucks...

Do you have monthly meetings with your nutritionist? That has helped me a lot with ensuring I know exactly what to eat and how much. It also helps me to be able to ask them "is this normal" questions. Like, why do i not lose weight for 2-3 weeks then Bam, a huge weight loss week 4. Or why is it some days I feel totally restrictive and then other days I feel I can eat like a normal person. Totally normal on both accounts for bariatric patients. Just keep making sure you are getting your Protein in, little to no carbs, drink lots of Water, avoid slider foods and caffeine. I've lost a total of 74 pounds since May 2nd. I've learned on the weeks when the scale doesn't move, to just be patient. It will eventually.

I've lost 32 lbs since surgery. The 14th makes 2 months post op. I think i'm doing pretty well. I was super frustrated and stuck in a 3 week stall at the time I wrote that. It's slowly coming off. I don't have a nutritionist but I do know I need to be better about getting more Protein in and drinking more fluids and walking. @cuzzy623

At 2 months out most plans have you at 600 calories and focused on getting in all your Protein and liquids. Don't try and advance too quickly. Everyone loses at a different rate and there unfortunately will be stalls along the way. It's very common to stall at 2 weeks and then again at 2 months as your body adjusts. You might want to check out the obesityhelp forums. There's not as much random advice.
