I also had my surgery may 9th. I have only lost 16 lbs. had a stall the second week where I didn't lose anything for 6 days. Now I'm on another stall. My dr said it was normal Surgery: May 9, 2013

Mami. You are an inspiration for me. I am 5' and my starting measurement were very similar to yours. I'm just 4 weeks post op and was starting to feel like I will never get there!!! Few questions for you... Did you lose weight fairly slow in comparison to others? I'm 4 weeks post op and have lost 15 What kind of exercise/ how often did you do? Are you still losing? One of my fears is if I keep losing when will it stop will I get too skinny? Surgery: May 9, 2013

I have been walking everyday since surgery. I am only 2 1/2 weeks post op but my surgeon has cleared me for all exercise. I really want to start done boxing classes and the surgeon said that would be fine. But this just seems so soon how long did others have to wait? Surgery: May 9, 2013

Yeah I keep trying to tell myself I can't control what other people eat but that only works so much. Plus I think if I was actually losing weight it might help a little too. Surgery: May 9, 2013

Wow so glad I found this thread and that others are slow losers as well!!! It gets discouraging when I see all these people losing weight so fast!! I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op and have only lost 8 lbs. and that was all the first week! I am starting to actually get depressed Surgery: May 9, 2013

Two and a half weeks post op, out of town with my fiancé who is normally supportive and tries not to eat the foods I am craving in front of me, but yesterday he ate pizza, today was donuts Mexican food and now a DQ BLIZZARD. I just want to cry . It's so hard and my mouth is watering. Then also I have only lost 9lbs in my 2 1/2 weeks so it feels like I'm being so good for nothing . This is so hard. Surgery: May 9, 2013

I get in about 64 oz of water (flavored with fresh lemon). Then for food I typically am getting in 3 small meals and 1 snack. My snack is a protein shake. And example of one day of meals would be. Breakfast cottage cheese. Lunch. Greek yogurt. Dinner. Veggie burger. Surgery: May 9, 2013

Anyone else from may not really losing weight? My surgery was may 9th. I lost 7 lbs the first week after surgery but now I have not lost anything in the last week. Feeling discouraged and like that's it im not going to lose anymore . Surgery: May 9, 2013

I know the feeling. My surgery was just a few days after yours and I've only lost 7 lbs. I went for my follow up appt yesterday and the dr didn't seem to be worried. But I sure am. I lost the 7 the week after surgery and haven't lost since. Surgery: May 9, 2013

I had a grilled veggie burger made by morning star and it was great. I'm only a week and a half post op. it was very easy to digest and tasted great Surgery: May 9, 2013

Getting a little concerned. Surgery was Thursday and they still haven't been released. My oxygen levels are two low . Overall I'm doing good though. Just need to get the oxygen up and get home! Surgery: May 9, 2013

Surgery went well. I'm walking a sipping today!!! Still a little out of it and it hurts when I take deep breaths but other than that doing well! Surgery: May 9, 2013

That's great!!!! How are u feeling? Surgery: May 9, 2013

Yay!!! Congrats surgery buddy!!!!

Just finished pre op appt. all went well and we are still on for may 9th!! Now it's all starting to really sink in and feel real!

Freaking out!!! Go to meet with the surgeon in an hour. Petrified he is gonna postpone my surgery because I have not lost weight. I kinda did but not enough. I first saw him the beginning of oct. I was 202. But then the holidays came and being an idiot and thinking it was the last time I could really enjoy them I shot up to 216. Now I'm down to 204. So nervous. Plus my mom is going with me to appt. it took her along time to come around and be supportive so I'm so scared she is going to see I'm already a failure.
