12 weeks post-op - down 38 lbs. Is that normal? I feel as though I should be down more. Haven't lost more than a pound per week in the last month and a half. I'm taking my vitamins, getting in the protein, not eating too much but I just feel as though I should've lost more by now.

Almost 5 weeks and only 16 or so since surgery...I feel better. No loss in over a week (except for the 3 I gained)

Hoping to be where your at in another 6 weeks.

That sounds FANTASTIC to ME! GREAT JOB!

12 weeks down and 38 pounds...averages to over 3 pounds a week and almost 50% of your excess weight loss...

Now think about those numbers and ask yourself that again

Besides..I am a big advocate of there is no "normal"..there only is what there is. Everyone is different!

I have to say, however, I am wearing a Medium (even one Small) from an Extra Large AND from a size 14-16 pants to a 10 (even an 8-10). So, if I look at it that way, I feel much better. I just don't understand why I'm not losing. Around 4-6 weeks I didn't lose at all, then it picked up again. Appears I have stalled yet again. I am working out, although not as much as I should I guess.

Congratulations!! You have lost 38lbs. In 12 weeks - that is great. I hope I do as well

From everything that I've read that sounds normal. You are averaging 12lbs a month which is assume. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

i'm 11 weeks out and 34 pounds down. i would like for it be 134 pounds down but i'm also trying to adopt a new healthy lifestyle, making good food choices. i'm thinking habits adopted now will serve me better long-term. from what i've seen on OH and other forums, you're very much on track. my NUT was very positive about my weight loss results and didn't have any concerns...says it was very normal.
