What was your starting weight and how much weight have you lost so far? How are you doing with your Protein and Fluid intake every day? What are you doing for exercise?

It's hard to say without knowing more about your situation. Also, what is your expectation for weight loss and is it reasonable? I have found that many people on here have VERY unrealistic expectations regarding the weight they think they should be losing...

The lower your bmi the slower the weight will come off. If you are losing on average one pound a week that is the normal weight loss for non-surgery patients. really try not to compare your weight loss journey to others. We are all different. I have yet to have my surgery. The doc wanted me to lose 15#'s, which will put me right at 40 bmi. I'm hoping to have my surgery 1st part of December.

You have to drink your Water, exercise, and watch what you eat.

I agree with Kimberb, my highest weight was 209 prior to pre op liquid diet and before surgery I was 199 and after my bypass which I did it 18 months ago I became 159 but totally stopped losing more! Last week I started another liquid diet and boom, I lost 4 pounds, presently at 155 and Still have to lose another 20 pounds in order to lose all my excess weight! Presently lost 75% of my excess weight! When I read other people's success story see that I lost what they've lost in just 2 months and get discouraged! I guess they had better results than me! But I read a lot of feedbacks and I realized I never took enough liquid on daily basis and now I Increased it to 48-64 oz, I start to lose little bit and that's good news for me! Thank you everyone for your efforts and input! It really helps and appreciated!

On the day of surgery I weighs it at around 220 pounds. I have a minimum of 50g of Protein and I can't do much Excersice due to my leg injury. Which I want to get operated only after I have lost at least 40 pounds. My goal weight is 160 pound which I find a reasonable goal. I'll try increasing my Water intake but any other suggestions?

How much have you lost in the 3 months and how much did you expect to lose in 3 months? 50g of Protein seems to be on the low side - what Protein target were you given? What's your current Fluid intake?

A leg injury can make exercise difficult but not impossible. Try going to youtube and doing a search for chair exercises, chair yoga and chair dancing - any activity helps!

I was told to take around 50-70g of Protein a day. What is ur Protein target?

I dint keep any expectation on what weight I want to reach in 3/6/9 month. I just have a general goal weight to get to in a year's time.. 70% off my excess weight.

I try to keep active with house work n do got for yoga.. Try not to stretch the ankle a lot.

I trying drinking at least 1.5ltr of Fluid a day but Water is still very hard on my stomach.

I had my surgery 3 months ago and lost 50lbs by my 2 month post op checkup. My dr explained that now that I'm carrying so much less weight I'm burning less calories to do basic daily activity and that I would have to supplement that lower calorie burn with exercise. So I joined the gym 2 weeks ago and work out like a bandit 4-5 days a week and some days double workouts. And now I'm gaining weight. 3lbs to be exact. I'm so worried and frustrated. I have too much to lose. Any suggestions?
