Has anyone felt like they weren't loosing as fast as they should? I weighed well over 300 lbs, and have over 100 lbs to loose, and feel like I should be just shedding weight. I know I don't exercise like I should, and I plan to, I just don't have the energy yet. My husband and I are looking into joining a gym, so we can go swimming or work out (especially during the heat of the day). I just feel like I haven't really cheated, and am taking in so little compared to what I used to...I know everyone is different, but I really feel like I should be losing more! Anyone else feel this way? I mean, it's been 6 weeks to the day for me, and I've lost 38 lbs...more than I've ever done before, but also less than I've ever eaten before. Let me know what you guys think...have you ever felt like that?

I totally agree, the scales stopped moving for me when I started eating regular food for almost 2 weeks, then started again loosing about 3-4 lbs a month. Not gang busters, but it is still moving. I know exactly how you all feel, especially when my husband is asking me almost daily if I have lost any weight. Now I just tell him I didn't weigh. I have lost 28 lbs in 10 weeks. I keep hearing of all those who have lost 50 lbs by this time and it's hard to put it into perspective. I have started walking, I mall walk as it is too hot here to go outside. I'm loosing about like I did on any diet I've been on, 1/2 to 1 lb a week; I'm eating and feeling fuller though, before I would be starved all the time. I don't feel obsessed about food, just try and get my protein in first, then veggies, then carbs. I have not been perfect as I can eat anything without any problems, I had to try a few things to see what would happen.. ha ha.

My doctor said most average 1 to 2 lbs a week loss, so I guess I am the lower end. I think being older makes it harder too as my metabolism must be lower than it used to be. Some days I'm so tired! Others I feel great. Can't seem to pin it down on what I have eaten or anything.

When you eat out you really have to watch how much sodium is in the food, some dishes have 4-5 GMs of salt! That is an incredible amount and you will retain water like crazy!!!

Thanks for sharing your experience. Mine has been almost identical to yours and I was sleeved the day after you also by Dr. Nick. You've made me feel better because I really thought I've been doing something wrong since I'm not doing as good as some others are, but I continue to be grateful I am not able to stuff myself the way I used to and I continue to trudge the road....:scared0:
