Your news is SOOOOO encouraging! I am 4 weeks out today and only down 35lbs (15 of which was during my 2 week pre-op). Was your weight loss slow at first?

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUCCESS!

Well mine includes my pre-op too and my weight loss seems to be slow to me also, but hopefully the weight just keeps coming off and I meet my long term goal. I have never been a person who keeps jumping on the scale but from 6-8 weeks only lost like 4 lbs, but we just have to keep on keeping on! Thanks

    I am really disapointed with my loss... 11 weeks and have only lost 28 pounds.... 2-3 pounds a week... very frustrating when you read others that have the big number weight loss. My husgand keeps encouraging me as well that if I stay on 2-3 pounds a week by October I will be 100 pounds loss... that is great so I made it my new target! Possibly if you think long term goal it will help you as well..... hang in there!
