Am I Losing Enough?

I am 5 weeks and two days post op.. I've lost 32 pounds but for some reason I just feel like its not enough! I have had no problems other than sleeping and I hate protein shakes but I think I am gettin an obsession with the scales! How are others doing at 5 weeks?

In five weeks I've lost seven pounds. So shaddup!!

Just kidding.

I really have only lost seven pounds. I'm doing what I'm told, except perhaps enough water. I'm hoping upping that will help.

Down 34lbs since preop diet (started 4.5 weeks prior to op).

Yeah. I'm a bit bummed.

Everybody is different some loose fast and others slow at 5 weeks I lost 35lbs not including the pre-op remember to do ur walks and take in ur liquids plus if I get constipated trust me I will see a stall so make sure u got fiber in ur food choice

Everyone loses differently. The heavier you are and the more weight you have to lose will cause you to lose quicker then someone who has less to lose. I am 10 weeks post op and have lost 48 lbs. I sometimes too feel that I should be losing more but then realize that it is just good to be losing anything. Kewep up the good work and try not to compare yourself to others.

Wow!thirty two pounds! Jump for joy!

I'm 3 mos post op and lost 33 lbs including preop diet! So yeah jump for joy. I'm a slow loser & have hypo thyroid but I'm have way to goal. Woohoo!

Glad I am not alone. I am 4 weeks out tomorrow. I have lost 26 pounds since pre-op and sleeve on April 10th. I am dying here. The scale does not move.

I have even been able to eat a medium piece of talapia. I am wandering if I am doing something wrong. Everyone else seems to be losing more.

I do have a thyroid issue and I am working on stabilizing it with medication.

It makes zero since to no lose since I would have have eaten the entire house and now just very small meals about six times a day either tuna or talapia.

Help?

I'm also 5 weeks out and your loss is Great! I'm down 29lbs and feel great. I am always trying to change up my food! Good luck on your journey.
