SLOW WEIGHT LOSS WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

On surgery day 9/16 I weighed 264 and today 3 weeks later I weigh 257 which means I have only lost a total od 7lbs post op in 3 weeks. I consider 7 for 3 weeks to be slow. I figured that I might be at a stall because I have been at 257 for 2 weeks and I am worried what I am eatting might be too much.

May be I am doing something wrong... How do you guys keep the momentum going? Is this normal? Will it ever come off?

    We started at the same weight. I would be sure you are tracking your food intake. You must eat enough to lose. Focus on your fluids and make sure you are constantly drinking. A lot of people do no

  • Dont forget about the 3 week stall. It happens to most of us. If you do a search here on the website you will see thousands of discussions about it.

    Everyone loses differently. Try not to compare yourself to others. FYI.... The slower you lose the better your skin does! Drink as much water as you can as well! Good luck!

I'm on 2 to 3 a week. Hey. Happy about it! It could be up 2 to 3 a week!!:)

If you did a preop diet that gets counted into your loss. Your body doesn't care if you lost a dozen pounds prior to surgery - all it knows is that you've lost weight in a short period of time.
