Oh no! What were your symptoms? Not that I'm hoping I do have one but at least it would be an answer to what's going on. I keep saying that something has to give...I can't keep feeling like this!

Praying everything goes well for you!

Hey everyone..

I'm 5 weeks post op and only lost abt 20 lbs:(

I take my vitamins, at least 60g of pro daily, I do have room for improvement with exercise & water intake. I am just so disappointed... I expected so much more! Surg-9/11...SW=244. CW=224

I would appreciate any feedback. Anyone else experience such a slow start??

Thank you Leilani. I've been meaning to send a similar message.

If you want to be added, send me your exact name on FB and a description of your profile picture. You can also private message me as it's a little difficult to keep track of the requests embedded in this thread from my phone. Sorry if I've missed someone!

I'm having trouble finding you Mo. Feel free to friend me then I can add you. (Maria Criscenti Newman)

My surgery was 9/10 and I haven't lost a crazy high amount either - like 22 pounds. However, according to my doctor, they want to see patients lose 10% of their total excess body weight in first month. I was at about 20% at my rate. I asked about the target for months 2 and 3, and he said everyone's different and will lose at different rates. So....don't be too hard on yourself or try to compare your progress with someone else's. We are all different with different metabolisms, etc. My doctor also warned about a stall at about month 2. You have lost 20 pounds, which is great! It will come off, just hang in there and don't get discouraged!!
