  • Ok first off, what is 'normal'? There is no normal when it comes to weight loss. Everyone is different. Secondly, you have lost an average of 3.9 pounds a week since surgery! HELLO! That is not slow.

    Are you a vegetarian? This may be a culprit due to the high carb intake you would have.

It may feel like it to you because you can't say I've lost 150lbs in six weeks but 4 pounds a week is not slow by any means!

Take you time. Slower is better for skin issues in the long run anyway. You are doing fine. Keep doing what you're doing and it will all come off eventually!

What suzthebrit said. :) Just about everyone's experience is normal. :) I had a three week stall that started at week three. Just keep following your doctor's food plan and the weight WILL come off. I know that, for me, it was hard to comprehend just how "easy" losing weight this way really is. Easy? Well, once you know what you can eat, it really isn't hard - at least compared to dieting alone. :)

Yes, it's normal! Try measuring your waist and hips, etc. I think you will be pleasantly surprised!

Yes, I am pleasantly surprised by inch loss. Thanks.
