8 weeks post op thursday

[Msmexy 7]

i' m sure there are a lot of people here going thru the same things. I was wondering if anyone else at 7 weeks post op can pretty tolerate anything, i have ben staying on course and have lost 40 lbs give or take 2 lbs fluctuation but it seems slow in general maybe my expectations are to high for to much to fast. I go to the gym 4 times a week i walk two miles and have started working on some toning machines. i noticed my hunger is starting to come back and though i cant tolerate the amount of food i was eating i fear 5-6 ounces i can tolerate now at times sometimes 2-4 ounces will eventually grow. i stop myself and follow the program . i am getting my Protein as i should as well as Water requirements. i just don't want to have done this for nothing. I feel frustrated i am not losing more rapidly sometimes not at all. Anyone else had this problem? One thing i don't much care for are all the judgy people i have meant so far along tjis journey. its all a learning experiece.

40lbs .. 7 weeks.. Wants to lose more rapidly?

Not judging. Answer this. Have you ever lost 40lbs in 7 weeks in your life ? I think you need to tamper with your expectation gage. Its letting you down. When you lower your expectations you will see how well you have done. I also don't want others to read this post who have lost less and they start to worry.

I think we all felt like this at some point, but I'd agree that the expectation may be a little unrealistic. Not judging at all, like I said, it's a place we've all been. I'm just over a year out and 108lbs down. Which is amazing, but I don't ever lose as fast as I think I should. I probably lose about 5lbs a month now which is slow, but every inch contributes to a mile. Keep your head up. It all works out in the end if you are working toward success.

I'm a bit more than two months post-op and I've definitely had the same feeling--two stalls already in the process. I'm losing at the moment but I'm trying to take it with a grain of salt--knowing that it seems slow but really isn't. I weigh less than I have in years, maybe decades! And I have--finally--thrown away two pairs of pants that were too big. But most of my clothes still fit after 55 pounds lost--what the heck is that?

It's the reality of having a lot of stretchy plus-sized clothes, that's what it is. But eventually they'll all be gone--and that's what I'm hanging onto. The long view is important here.

I am 11 weeks out and feel the same way. I lost 56lbs but have been the same weight for weeks now. I am just going to roll with the process. My sister reminded me that I don't want to lose too much to fast because I might start looking sick. So as long as I lose 33 more ponds in the next 3 months I'll be on track.
