Every loses at a different pace. As long as you are sticking to your plan, you have nothing to fear. You are ahead of me at the two month mark. I was only at about 23 pounds down in my first two months and I still managed to lose all my weight and have been maintaining under goal for almost a year.

I'm so glad I found this post! I'm at exactly 2 months since surgery today and I've lost 22 pounds. Although I'm really happy about that- I feel like I should be losing more too. Especially since I feel like I don't eat much... I think I need to walk more- I feel much better but I was hoping for more weight loss. It seems to be about 2 pounds a week at first and now I've stalled for the past 2 weeks.

@@alohagirl22 You started at a lower weight than many of us - so your loss will be slower (% will be very similar though). You can't compare yourself to others! Also - make sure to get enough Protein and fluids every day! Eating less will not help you lose faster - your body will go into starvation mode and hang on to the weight. However - 22 lbs in 2 months is excellent for someone starting at your weight. Stay strong!

I'm 5'1 and my SW (day of surgery) was 206.2. I'm 7 weeks post op and have lost 27.8lbs. Total with 2 week pre op is 41.2. My doctor said between 20-30lbs for the first two months is great! :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
