I too thought weight would drop faster. Really trying to not get down and I am hanging in there as this is a journey and not a race.

It does get discouraging when losing so slowly. I don't know if I should increase my calories or decrease them. I am eating about 800 calories a day. I feel like if I increase that I won't lose anything!

I have a HUGE concern that I hope my surgery buddies can help me with.... I had my surgery 12/19/13 and since then I have only lost 25 lbs ! I put my beginning weight as the weight I was when I began the program in June 2013, I lost around 60 lbs in those six months before surgery and now since my bypass I am going NOWHERE !! The losses come in spurts where I stay the same for about 2 weeks then drop 5 lbs then stay the same and drop again !!! This is maddening ! I feel I HAVE to be doing something wrong. My Nuts. said we should have 75g of Protein a day and at least 800 cal. I am ALWAYS around 80g of protein a day and about 900-1000 cal. (She said keep it between 800-1200). I walk about 3xs a week. (I was sedimentary) and am increasing my exercise to include Water aerobics and swimming. Why am I not dropping the weight ??? Is it because I lost before the surgery??? I feel like I am doomed for failure, I have ALOT to lose and can't be petering-out already ! HELP !!!!

I had this happen the whole 9 months of weightloss for me until I reached my goal weight... In the beginning I would loose 7-10lbs then stall for 2-3 weeks... Loose 7-10lbs... Stall for 2-3 weeks. This was how I lost my weight the entire time!!! When I wasn't loosing weight and stalling I was loosing inches!! Don't get discouraged ! When you get closer to your goal weight you will start loosing less at a time. I went from loosing 7-10lbs at a time down to 5-7 down to 3-5... As I got smaller the losses got smaller but in 9 months I went from 234lbs down to 120!! So it does work and your on the right path!! Have faith in your new tool!!!
