the 19 will be my monthaversary and i've only lost 22lbs. is this bad because I am always seeing 50lbs and higher on the posts I read. I am scared this is not going to work for me... my water intake is awesome finally and so is my protein so where have I gone wrong?

I lost 21 lbs my first month. It has been 4 months since my surgery and I have lost 54 lbs. So, don't worry it will come off. Everyone loses differently.

Hi! I will be 1 month out on the 20th. I have lost 24 since surgery but 39.5 since I started the pre-op diet. I would say your loss sounds great!

I lost 45 pounds my first month, but nothing in the past couple of months. I guess we all are different.

In the past, on the many diets I'be been on, I've found it really easy to lose a lot of weight quickly. I have to say that since I was sleeved on 3/22 that my weight loss has been much more uneven. The first and 2nd weeks I lots nearly 1 pound per day. On week 3 however, I only lost 1 pound for the whole week. Like you, I have been very good about my water and protein intake. I wasn't really concerned, but I was curious why it was different this time. At the 3 week mark I began going back to the gym and doing the stationary bike and the treadmill. Although I'm not burning many calories the exercise seems to have "broken the log jam" so to speak. In the last four days I've lost 6 pounds. Moral of the story, just keep doing what your doing, the weight loss will happen! Don't compare yourself to others, you are doing great!!!

I think you cannot compare anyone's journey to yours- We all have different surgeons with different post op plans- we all have individual chemical make ups which enable us to loose faster or slower than others. I personally lost a lot my first month and then stalled as most people do- I have seen/heard others that dont loose a lot at first but then 3rd or 4th out start drastically loosing.

It all depends on your consumption and level of exercise as well. Some do more than others..
