We all lose at a different pace. If your exercising than you have muscle that your building, your sister is not and she may be losing her muscle mass. I wouldn't put too much into it because in the long run, you will most likely be more successful at keeping the weight off because your changing your negative eating patterns. You will sustain weight loss longer and permanently where she is giving into her triggers and eating the foods that are calorie condensed with no nutritional value. So don't worry too much about her and keep doing what your doing, at the end of the journey you will be very happy....... HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)

53 lbs is great in 2 months! Just keep doing what you are doing and it will come off. I was 285 on my surgery day and I'm 205 today, almost 6 months later. You are on the right track.

I probably lost so much because I wasn't working out...I have lost all my muscle. It is gone. I am a weakling now. That is why I caution everyone to start working out prior to the surgery. I didn't track anything or work out either and I never stalled. I just stopped eating when I was full and didn't eat again until I was hungry. I am going to the gym next week to see if there is anything I can do to repair the muscle loss. I am only 12 pounds heavier than my best friend and I am an inch taller than her...however she is 18% body fat and I am probably 40 still. So she looks crazy skinny...I am skinny, but not super model skinny.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
