So I had my vsg on 6/2/11. I am 10 weeks post op tomorrow. I was never to happy with the weight loss. I was losing 5lbs a week for the first 8 weeks, last week I only dropped 3lbs and this week only 1lb so far! So disappointed

Do not be disappointed!!!!..looking at your post you have lost 44 lbs in 2 months....That is a lot of weight! Where can you do that any diet plan? There will be times that you weight loss will slow to give time for your body to catch up. My nut always said 1-3 pounds a week in the beginning was a good. You are doing AWESOME!

I know we all wish that we could 30 lbs a month, but for most of us, that is not realistic. I was kind of disappointed a few months after surgery because I really never lost more than 10 pounds a month. I lose about 2 lbs a week... but after 5 months, that has added up to a lot of weight. As long as you are losing, you are doing great. Keep going and you'll be where you want to be before you know it!

Rocky, you're seriously doing awesome!! You just need continued patience - you don't get to have the surgery and then wake up skinny straight away!

Really? Sorry, but no sympathy from me. You are doing great! I am lucky to be losing 2lbs a week at this point, but I'm not complaining. We will get there.

I had my surgery on 6/8/2001 and hit 37 lbs today. I too am a littlet frustrated but keep in mind those that lose fast are losing water and it can be harmful to lose weight too quickly. Just eat right and excercise and don't get frustrated. You are doing good. We all are

Hi, Rocky! You are doing great! I am just 2 months postop and have lost 35 pounds. Your body has to adjust to the new dietary needs. If you take your liquids, do your supplements with protein and vitamins, exercise, and follow the rules, you will lose the weight. I think smaller losses consistently is far healthier than the huge losses that is mostly water weight instead of fat. Do not beat yourself up! Look at what you have accomplished now in relation to where you were before you had surgery--the difference is daunting in a good way!! Ronda

LOL ... That reminds me of my son ... He was so excited to see me when I got home & had a very disappointed look on his face when he saw me. He was positive I was going to come home skinny!

You are doing fine! One day at a time, one victory at a time.

Thank you all for the kind words. Defintely was NOT looking for anyone's sympathy just venting! Saw the surgeon yesterday she says I am doing great! I have a long way to go but getting there slowly but surely!

You're kidding right? That's huge! It won't continue at 5 lbs a week and it shouldn't!

1-2 lbs a week is very healthy. Keep up the great work!
