Hello FamiIy,

I had surgery October 17th and I have lost 28 pounds. Today is my 4 week post-op. So I know that 28 pounds in a month is really good and I am happy for that but I was wondering if it is normal to be losing slow right now. I lost 20 pounds in the first week so that means I lost the 8 pounds in 3 weeks. Is it normal to lose slow like that in the beginning or am I doing something wrong? I guess I was expecting like 3-5 pounds a week at least. Any advise. Thank you

With this surgery anything is possible but I'm thinking it might have been an off day. You know where everyday for months you can eat chicken and turn one day you can't buy a week later you're good. Wait a bit and try again. When you're home near the facilities though lol.

Yeah your probably right. Thank you

You are doing good. I had many stalls. Slow us better then fast & deal with saggy hangy skin. I lost it slow compare to others but I have a wrinkly tummy & saggy arms.

Hopefully if anything it will help somewhat with the skin. It's the least we can get out of a slow weight loss. LOL

Oh good ok thank makes me feel happy I have been going back and forth with I shouldn't of done this and hang in there a little longer. I don't like the bad days but they do happen. I hope I start losing more so I can see it and hopefully that will make it worth while. I am not good with patients either, LOL.

Slow is an under statement of how i feel about my progress...

You are doing great. Almost 40 pounds in a month and a half seems good doesn't it? I try and remember how long it would take to lose that amount of weight without the surgery. It's hard to lose 10 pounds in a month sometimes so just remember that and I will too, LOL.

Slow weight loss might be a good thing because it is better for the gallbladder and it might enable skin to adjust more easily to the new body size.

That's a positive way to look at it, LOL. Thanks!
