4 Weeks and only 10lbs!

Yeah, 222 is a pretty low starting weight. You can’t expect to lose as quickly as someone who started 100 pounds higher. 10 pounds in a month is pretty good, considering your starting weight. And 1200 calories is quite high for a month out. I’m 6 weeks out and averaging just over 400 calories per day (I’m supposed to increase to 800-1000 now).

By the way, if you want your info (surgery date, surgery type, starting weight, current weight) to show up when you post, you can update it by clicking on your username at the top of the screen and then “My surgery” under settings. If you want to share any of that info, it helps for people to see it as context when you post.

Today is my 6 month surgery anniversary. I am a slow loser... 10-12 lbs a month. My calorie intake is btween 600-700.... wondering if I am not eating enough ... starting weight 303

I don’t think that’s slow and increasing calories is not the answer. Increasing activity will help.

nope - you're fine. I also lost 10-12 lbs a month and I also started at over 300 lbs...

I'm in tears. What went wrong? I know many people who have done this and not one who has experienced what I am experiencing which is NO WEIGHT LOSS. Im devastated. I was so afraid of getting too small it never occurred to me that I could be here with no real weight loss. Did it fail? I'm not overeating, I'm counting calories to stay around 1200 or less. Heartbroken.

According to my surgeon at 6 weeks out I should be having about 400 to 600 calories a day I don't know how you're able to take in 1200 calories without being really in pain. Are you choosing bad calories? One thing I'm finding out if this is not easy but I do know this, if you do the right thing the results will come

If it helps my sister took a while to lose hers and she is 147lbs now from 230. She is really happy. She lost it slower but it stayed off 2 years now.
