Hi my surgery was April 30 and I have only lost 20 lbs is this normal I don't want to get discouraged but I'm scared that the surgery didn't work for me....the scale isn't moving but I can see it in my clothes but I would also like to see it in the scale.

I am taking my vitamins and protein and I am going to the gym but why is the scale not moving has anyone else had this problem please help!!

My surgery was April 30th also and I've only lost 20 pounds since surgery as well. Do you mind if I ask what your weight was at surgery? I was 215 the day of surgery. It's pretty disappointing. I actually gained 2 pounds the first week but I have been losing a steady 5 pounds a week. I'm kind of happy with that.

I can't remember what my weight was the day of surgery but I know I started at 185 and now I'm at 165

See, you were not very heavy to begin with. You won't lose as fast as someone heavier. Just keep with the program and you will lose steadily.

Yeah I'm just gonna keep working out and eating right...I have my next appointment on the 14 so I will talk to the doctor and see if he thinks I'm doing good I hope I lost some more by the time I go I'll keep u posted...so how far post op are u and how much have u lost??

I had my surgery the same day as you, April 30th I started out around 235, lost 5 pounds just by mindful eating, then I lost another 15 on my two week liquid preop diet.

I was 215 the day of surgery and this morning I weigh 191. That's what, 24 pounds since surgery nearly 6 weeks ago.

I know it's not a lot of weight since surgery, but it's a total of 44 pounds lost! The way I look at it, I worked just as hard to lose that weight before surgery as I did after, so every little bit counts!

There is no way I would have lost 45 pounds on my own in two months, it always took way longer for me.

I have my six week postop appointment on Monday. They're scale always seems to weigh less than mine so I can't wait so see what it says.

Keep up the good work, you're doing just fine! We're doing just fine!

Let us know how your postop goes on the 14th.

Wow u r doing great too!!...keep up the good work and keep me posted on your great doctors appointment on Monday I'm sure u will have lost a lot more by then....so where do u live?..and what do u do for a living??..are u married do u have any kids??

I hope I'm not being too nosey just want to make some new friends that are going threw the same as me.

I am not married single mom with 2 kids ages 5 and 9 and I live in Plano,TX

Well I had my 6 week postop today and I lost 1 pound since Friday. Lol that's ok, I'll take it. I think I need to lay off the avocados. The neighbor keeps bringing us baskets full and they're so delicious! They go down way too easy though LOL

I live in southern California with my fiancé and our 5 year old daughter. I have two other daughters, 16 and 21 that live in the Midwest with their dad. They just didn't want to pick up their lives and move out here with me.

I work for an airline, ticket counter, gates, etc customer service. I love my job but I don't want to go back to work tomorrow! My six weeks is up though and the time has come.
