I had surgery 3/12/2013 I have only lost 40 lbs is that a normal weight loss?

There is no normal per se. I had my surgery on March 5, 2013 and was 372 now at 329. I got scared because I went up to 340 a few weeks ago. I got to stick to my regimen plus go back to the gym. I'll admit I ate some bad things due to stress and boredom.

I had mine 4/21/13 and have lost 48 lbs since. I've lost a total of 83.5 lbs since the very beginning tho.

I think it depends the weight you started out at. Discharged from the hospital I was 221. For those that were 300+ they'll lose much faster. I may not go down in lbs fast but my size is decreasing quick. I'm wearing a size 10 and a medium shirt now.

I was at 310

61 lbs lost in 3 months

Congrats

My surgery was 4/10 and I am down 38 Lbs. I thought it would be more too (sw 288)

My surgery was 19 days ago and I'm down 30 lbs. It's not hard if you just follow the plan. I see too many people who go right back to eating like the surgery never happened. It's a shame.

Congrats

Thanks, I had surgery one day before you, 3/11/2013

my surgery date was January 29 of this year, I was 386 the day of surgery. I'm now 285. I still can't believe it, I haven't been this weight in 15yrs. Just keep to your plan everyone looses differently & if you can exercise it will help it come off faster. Good luck & congratulations your weight loss. Peace Mary

My surgery was May 30. I've lost 14 lbs in 21 days. Enough to drop a size and be happy about it! :-)

Since I have had many complications and had to get cut open due to a bowel rupture and having wound vac I haven't been motivated to exercise. Whelp today no more wound vac!!! Though I still have a small hole I might can go walking today!!! Congrats on all you ladies weight loss.

Note to self exercise was the issue before surgery and losing the weight might motivate me more.

Slow weight loss doesn't mean someone isn't following the plan. I am 10 weeks today and have "only" lost 38 lbs. I have not cheated once. I get all my Protein, Water & Vitamins. I have not had a bite of bread, Pasta, rice or potato.

Being a slow loser is frustrating...especially when you KNOW you aren't "eating like the surgery never happened"

I had my surgery December 17, 2012 and I'm down 103 lbs and 93 lbs since surgery!

Starting weight 308!

I'm a month out now and already stalled for two weeks! I have lost 15 lbs since surgery almost 50lbs total. I'm a slow looser too. I am still on soft foods even!! I'm happy though cuz I know sooner or later it's got to kick in. Started at 266 now 217 size 22 to 16 pants and 3x top to 1x loose but can't quite fit a XLG.
