What am I doing wrong?

Surgery Date was 7/18/16

I lost 20lbs on pre op diet

Since surgery i dropped about 10lbs right away now I have increased my walking still on puree and only eating 3oz per meal with two Protein Shakes per day. I seem to be only dropping 1lb about every three days is this normal? I thought I should be dropping it faster? Frustrating when i think I am doing everything right.

a lot depends on how much you need to lose. I think you are doing great! I only lost like 1/2 a ln a week at the beginning and have a ton of stalls. My doctor said that was perfect for me and I lost the 75 % they predicted within a year. You may want to increase your food, not eating enough slows it down too! But I think you are doing great!

I had my surgery the same day as you, our stats are almost exactly the same, lost 20 pre-op, then lost 10 the first 2 weeks and now I haven't lost anything in a week, I have heard that this is normal though and the scale will start moving again. I have been walking and swimming, getting in all my liquids. I do not have a Protein goal yet, but I have been trying to get in as much as i can. I am on pureed/mushies still.

Impossible to answer without knowing your stats.

Short answer is to keep on track with your plan and with the exercise and the weight will come off. Steady is better than rapid-then-stall cycles, in my opinion.

1 lb every 3 days is 10 pounds a month. That sounds pretty right to me. Don't be so hard on yourself. At that pace, you'll have lost over 100 lbs in less than a year. That would be amazing by any account. Just keep grinding.
