insecure about how much weight i’ve lost, or not lost?

[MariahS0105 11]

so i had my surgery on 10/3/19 and so far i’ve lost about 70lbs.. does that seem like the right number for 2 months out? i feel like maybe it’s not enough and i’m feeling a little insecure about it. i follow the diet to a T. a

Wow! That is awesome!!! I had my surgery back in 2018 and lost about half of that by the two month mark. Matter of fact, it took me 5 months to lose that much.

Congratulations!!!

I want to congratulate you on your progress so far. I understand why you question if you have lost enough weight post-op. However, I want you to know that every individual body reacts differently to the surgery. There are many compounding factors that play a role in the rate at which you lose weight such as genetics, weight, and height at the time of surgery. Therefore, you and your body are doing great! Keep up the hard work.

1. It sounds like you are doing GREAT!! 2. Don't go by anyone else. Everybody is different and lose at different rates. So go by how you feel and what your surgeon says.

That's great job

Wow, that's fantastic! I have a billion pounds to lose (well, 150 ish) and I dont think I'll be anywhere near 70 at my 2 month point - I'm thinking I might be over-optimistic hoping for ten pounds a month at the moment. Great job!

Average weight loss is between 2-4lbs per week.

Congrats! You are super successful. Keep doing what you're doing!!!

You're doing spectacular! I was 10/22/19 and I'm at 48 pounds since then. I've been told that was awesome and there's no way I'll get to 70 at 2 months so you're kicking my butt!
