I'm right there with you. Was really hoping for a faster rate of loss in first 6 months but I have only lost 70 pounds and I am two weeks from 6 month anniversary.

You're not doing anything wrong unless you're not following your dr/nut's instructions. on average, you're losing over 4 lbs a week! I think that's fantastic!

I'm just at week 4 and I swear I've weighed the same thing for a week! I liked it way better when I was losing 1 lb a day!

Wrong? Your weight loss is superb!

My only suggestion would to stop comparing yourself to others, so what if they've lost more... Who cares! Just compare yourself to you and what makes you happy and healthy!

Keep doing what you are doing...

yeah I am doing what I am told and I know we all lose diff and I am happy w/the 56 just was thinking it would be more for how big I started out at, I feel so much better and I did my first 5k Sat so I am very very happy, just hard when you see others that in less time have done more, I feel like I am kicking my butt I do about 4 miles aday on the treadmill and can only eat like 600-900 cal a day, as I can only eat like 3 or 4 bites of stuff at a time,

You are doing great! Try not to compare yourself with othetrs because it can be a real ego killer.

I know my issue is not getting all of my liquids in. If you are following your Surgeon's instructions, then you are doing a fantastic job.

Everyone has their own course and you are doing fine!

I am on week 8 & only down 18 lbs. Havent lost a pound in 3 weeks. I am so discouraged. Counting calories and I am amazed at how fast I can get to 1000 calories! Yikes! Trying to make healthy choices but the exercise issue is still an issue. I feel like I just threw away a ton of money on nothing!

Liquids are the hardest thing in the world!! One regular sized bottle of Water is almost torture!!!!

How does this time compare to other times you've tried to lose weight?

How many pounds lost are you averaging in a week? 4.5 pounds a week.

That's awesome. Don't get discouraged -- find other things to compare your loss to.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
