You're doing great! Don't compare yourself to others because everyone's body is different. I would focus on your plan and keep doing what you are doing. It will come off... besides (I know I said don't compare) compared to others your start weight is considerably low (in weight loss surgery contexts). In total, you have lost 44lbs. What diet could you get on and loss 44lbs in a month?

Hi, I was sleeved on June 3rd.
HW-246
SW-239
1st Appointment 1 week post-op-243 due to receiving lots of IV fluids before and after surgery.
Current weight-224
I have a question. do you think I'm loosing weight too slowly? I count my SW as my starting weight and I've lost 15lbs. I expected to loose 20-22lbs the first month. I am 3.5 weeks post-op currently. I try to to compare myself to others and their weight loss.

You cannot compare yourself to others. Can't Can't Can't! You'll just end up frustrated. I think to think of what I am doing differently this time compared to last time I tried to lose weight. Am I going to the gym more, eating better choices? It sounds selfish but focus on you!

SD:4/16/14 - SW: 300 - CW: 234 (Down 66lbs) I am little excited... I had a big lose this week. I lose 4.2lbs this week and since I saw Dr. Singh 15lbs. My goal weight by July 7th next visit with Dr. Singh is 229 (per my scale - his scale is always slightly different from mine).

I intensified my workout a little, made sure I rested my muscles after intense workouts, watch my Water and Protein intake. I've also been working out almost daily.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
