Unsure If I'm On Target...advice Appreciated.

What did everyone else lose by the time they were 6 weeks out? After I was hospitalized (unrelated to surgery) I feel like my weight loss has all but stopped. I've lost 24 lbs, but 18 of it was in the first month. I am aware, before anyone wishes to point it out for the sake of posting, that I can't compare myself or my loss to anyone else, but I just want to get an idea of where everyone else was at this point. Due to the fact that I had a super slow recovery and was in the hospital I haven't worked out at all so I am confident that my new work out routine will at least put me back in the game if I am off track.

Thanks!

You are so not alone. First four weeks I dropped 20 and now I am holding with maybe a half a pound for the last two weeks. I work out pretty hard every other day. It's frustrating but hang in there. From everything I have read, this is normal to plateau. Even my Dr. said to be patient. Infact, I don't think your hospitalization has anything to do with the slowed down weight loss- of course I am not a doctor but I am experiencing the exact same thing. I had my surgery September 3. Not matter what- we are going to lose weight. I somehow have faith in that. Thanks for posting, it's nice to know we're not alone.

Def not alone. I was sleeved on 8/21 and have lost about 10 pounds post surgery. I was hospitalized for gallbladder removal last week, which set me back. I'm not yet cleared for exercise either. Talked to NUT. She wants my carbs below 20 grams a day. She thinks that might be the way i need to eat. We'll see how I do.
