If you're slow, so am I! I'm almost 8 weeks and down 33.5 lbs - but in reality there's no way I could be averaging a loss around 4 lbs a week without this surgery. I'm down almost two clothes sizes, s

What do y'all consider a 'slow loser'? Cuz honestly you all sound like you're doing great. I dot really see how a 4 or 5 pound a week loss should be considered slow. I think it should be considered

I've only lost 2 lbs. in the last 8 days. I'm only 6 weeks out, so this is troubling. I was on my period this past week, so I thought I'd have a stellar week. It's so disappointing. Surgery weight was 260. I'm at 234, so I've lost 26 lbs since surgery. I'm getting about 58 oz. of liquid a day, Protein is about 68 g. a day, and calorie count is about 650 a day. My carb to protein ratio could be better. Sometimes they are nearly equal and sometimes my protein is double my carbs. I've been having a little fruit and select other carbs (oatmeal, Cream of Wheat, and very limited quantities of crackers, peanuts, and healthy wraps). By very limited, I mean very little. I think I've had 3 crackers total, 1 wrap total, and about 1/4 cup total of peanuts.
Any suggestions or ideas? Exercise has been tough due to a plantar faciitis flair up. I am trying to get back to walking.
Oh, I've also been on lots of antibiotics while fighting an infection. Could that be slowing things down?
