I thought I would lose weight faster! Is this a normal pace?

10 pounds a month is the norm so id say no! Lol. You are surpassing the norm.

I'm 2 1/2 weeks out from surgery and I've only lost 20. I hope to start the gym this week. I'm not able to eat much, so I'm always tired.

What is this only word? That's like 6+ pounds per week =p You're doing awesome! When else have you lost 25 pounds in only one month? You should be jumping for joy, you're doing great!

I am almost one month and I just hit 27 lbs... everyone stalls and you will start again...

I am 5 weeks & I've "only" lost 26.6 lbs! I think it's great! If I lost 26 lbs next month, I'd be 2/3 of the way to my goal! I say pat yourself on the back & keep going!

Sounds like we are all doing quite well. I've been stalled at 20 lbs for 2 days (after losing 12 lbs in 2 week pre-op and 8 lbs in 2 weeks post-op) That's 20 lbs a month. But I don't think that's abnormal. I will lose a couple of more pounds when my body adjusts. I'm hoping after the initial 40 lbs or so I will be losing at a 1 to 2 lbs average a week - less loose skin if you lose it slowly.

Wow.... I can't wait to lose "only" 25 lbs in a month.

16 days to go!!!!

oct 25th'r too!?

I would say 25 lbs is phenomenal. Enjoy it while you can because the rate slows down after a couple months.

Thanks so much for that, I've been saying I've "only" lost 26lbs since surgery, which was 3 1/2 weeks ago, I am now in a stall. You have given me a light bulb moment, if I lose another 26 next month I will be SO happy and halfway to goal!, :)

What were you expecting? To wake up and be Vana White?

I've 'only' lost 20 lbs in the first 4 weeks. Wait...what! I lost 20 lbs! How awesome is that!

Perspective is everything!

Each one of us will lose at a different rates for all sorts of reasons.

A loss is a loss is a loss....

I'm 3 months out and have lost 50 lbs. That's averaging about 3.85 lbs a week. But I still get frustrated with stalls at times and have to remind myself of reality. (I haven't lost a pound in 3 weeks).

BUt, if I did not lose another ounce....it's already been worth it with how I now feel!

I'm one month since I started liquid diet... I am 3 weeks and 3 days post surgery. I lost 10 pre op and then 15 more in the next week and half. Have been on a stall for 11 LONG days lol... No movement.. I even went to vegas, walked MILES everyday and ate GREAT (ie healthy and in calorie range) and came home and NADA.. That said.. 25 pounds in a month does rock.. The initial 20+ pounds is just an incredible life change for all of us and so fast that it's addictive lol.. So, I can't wait for it to go. I'll give myself 3 weeks and then get pissed.. I started with only a 35 BMI so guess I should be glad that I am in the company of weight loss of those who have much more to lose.. Interesting journey but still incredible

I'm 4 weeks out and down 33 pounds. I have 130 to go I hope I can start seen it. Every one else can I can't.
