Hi I'm 43 and I had surgery March 21st 2012...Losing has been somewhat slow rolling for me. 5 weeks out and I've lost 26 lbs. I read on here about a lot of people having lost at least twice that. Does anyone suppose that maybe because I'm middle age?

I'm 47, had surgery April 4 and I have lost 25 lbs so far. I would ask your Dr to make sure you are doing everything correctly.

Hi Panda

Have you taken your measurements? I have stopped losing as quickly as I was, but I have lost inches. I walk 5 days a week and am starting to get frustrated that I haven't lost anymore weight. But I know I am just impatient! lol

[Panda 354]

No I haven't taken measurements but I've had to buy a smaller bra and I'm wearing jeans now that I couldn't fit before and they're getting lose...I'm just so afraid of going thru all of this and then fail. Seriously afraid of failing:(...is that odd? Its almost as if this is my last chance

I am afraid of failing also! I lose weight, then to just put it + plus back on. I am thankful for losing the 28 lbs that I have, I don't want to sound greedy. Maybe I will start using the elliptical and see if that makes a difference. Good luck Panda!

Thank you...as of today I'm down 28 lbs also...28/5=5.6...I guess that's not too bad. I am impatient as well. Or I just want to lose like everyone else! Lol!

Hello Panda and Txs, They say it's basically natural for us to worry about not losing weight after going through this...mainly because all other diets have failed but, my surgeon says they've yet to have folks not lose with it. Our bodies do rebell though...so just keep eating the way your nutritionist told you, take your Vitamins, get your Water in and do the exercise and the scale will budge.

I haven't had the surgery yet...but working on it. I"m thinking I may end up with surgery in June depends on how long it takes for the paper work.
