Im feeling slightly bummed, I had a post op checkup yesterday (its been about 6 weeks) The first week i dropped 10 lbs the second week I lost a couple more, and the 3rd and 4 week I stalled out gaining a pound. My weight loss picked up again on week 5 and iv been losing between 2-4 lbs a week since then, wich brings me to a total of about 22 lbs in 6 weeks I Know that my weight loss isnt great but I was expecting to hear your doing a great job, it will come off ect ect. from my surgeon. When he looked at my chart he sits down and looks really disapointed, the first thing he says to me is, typically the average weight loss at your stage is much more, whats the problem? I just kinda sat there and then he asked me what I was eating, I told him what I eat in a day Wich is around 500-600 cals and that i walk/jog 30-40 min every day. I dont know If he believed me or not but then he went on to say well some people just take longer to lose weight than others. I left that appointment feeling like crap. I have been trying to keep myself positive and reasure myself that it will come off in time but I really felt down on myself and frusterated he couldnt give me any suggestions on what to change he just told me to stick with the excercise and no snaking inbetween meals (which I dont do) I guess going into this I thought being so young (24) and in general good health I would be one of the people that looses the weight quicker than average not slower ,sigh, im just really down on myself now...

I contacted my nutritionist because I've stalled for about 3 weeks. I also started keeping track of food intake through an app. I've noticed I'm not getting enough protein and eating higher carbs. So I will be visiting with him to figure the best course of action. I'm 7 months out. My highest weight when I began was 365lbs....surgery weight was 324lbs and my current weight is 232lbs. So I'm loosing weight and doing well but I have a goal and I don't want to derail myself. I've worked to hard to get here. I want advice to get me back on track. That's why we're here.. accountability and support navigating through all of this. Because let's be honest if we had it down we wouldn't need to be here to begin with. So we can be kind, supportive, and keep each other accountable all in one![emoji173][emoji173]

22 pounds in six weeks is f-ing awesome! Also you might notice that weight comes off faster as you add more calories.
