Thanks everyone... I am thankful for the weight I have lost already and I know that without the surgery I wouldn't have lost that much... And yes I do need to stop comparing myself to others... Thanks everyone!!

Thank you so much... And that's what I have to remember is I'm losing!! Slow or fast, I'm losing.... And I'm happy about that!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

Thanks for the input and I will up the water intake... And hopefully she'll get back to me tomorrow so we shall see and I definitely will let you know... I have been looking into things, last time I was stalled, the whole month of July she upped my calories and it finally broke so I wonder if I'm not eating enough... I burn like 2800 a day between being so heavy and then working out... So I don't know if my body is in starvation or what... If I only lose 2 pounds a week I'll take it because it all adds up in the end... But it is so disheartening cause you see people barely trying and losing 5-6 pounds a week.... But thanks again for your input...

I definitely could up the water... And I drink premier protein so it's 30g protein and 2g sugar and 5g carbs... I will check those out... Thank you!!

Thank you... I will say I'm thankful for the 90lbs I've lost total since my highest... I just wanted to see if there was other slow losers that still made it to goal or close to... But thank you and I try really hard not to compare... The mental game is the hardest with this surgery for me personally... Thank you for your feedback...

I guess my hardest part is being larger to begin with I just expected to lose more in the beginning... I'm thankful for losing 37 in 2.5 months because it's 37 less I have to lose... I just compare myself I guess, which I know I shouldn't... But I see people losing 45-50 by now...

I drink about 72+ of pure water daily... And I still use a protein shake for breakfast, I stick to taco salad for lunch, which consist of 1/2 cup of taco meat with some romaine, some spinach, 2 tablespoons of salsa and about 1/4 of cheddar cheese, sometimes I put black beans in, dinner varies but usually chicken, about 4-5oz and a few bites of veggies, I don't make much carbs anymore... And I'll have a snack or two a day, usually dannon light and fit Greek yogurt or sargento breaks with the cheese and nuts... For a "treat" once in a while I will have a mini ice cream sandwich or mini Klondike which those are about 120 calories... But I don't eat those everyday... I am not gonna lie, I have had some snack foods in the past but the last month or so I stick firm to this menu... I did email my nutritionist and waiting for a response, I go back at the beginning of Sept for my 3 month followup so we will see what she says too....

I am almost 3 months post op and I'm down about 37lbs which I feel like I should be more... Hoping to get some insight on here as to what I could be doing wrong... I'm doing as my nutritionist suggest but I'm worried I'm just going to be a slow loser... Best wishes for your surgery coming up!! I have no regrets with the surgery, I had no problems from the surgery, had a mild reaction to the lovenox blood thinner shots after surgery but I was fine...

So I will be 3 months out from VSG on the 21st of August and as of today I've lost 37 pounds. My highest weight was 428 May of 2017 and I weighed 373 the morning of surgery. I was stalled almost the whole month of July but ended up losing a little over 6 pounds at the end of the month... I eat about 1000-1200 per my nutritionist with 80-100g of protein and 50-75g of carbs and exercise 45 mins a day, 6 days a week. Any suggestions or help? Am I not eating enough? I can eat about 4-5oz of meat and some veggies, I just don't know if I'm just a slow loser or what... Anyone weighing 350+ that was a slow loser still lose a lot of weight within a year or two... I'm just worried it's never going to come off... Please help calm me...

Did you lose 90 pounds in 4 months since your surgery? If so what have you done? I started out 373 and I was sleeved May 21st so I am almost 3 months post op and I'm only down 37 pounds... I was stalled the whole month of July... So disheartening... What do you eat? How much do you exercise? Any help??
