Nervous about 6 week appt

Tomorrow is my 6 week check up and I'm SO nervous about it! I am down 27 pounds after hitting a stall and I'm afraid th doc will think it's not enough. I've been increasing my Protein and finally started losing again but I feel like I should have lost more by now.

Are these normal feel

27 lbs in 6 weeks is great! and you should get cleared for exercise at your appt. tomorrow so then the weight will really start to fall off. i have 66 lbs in 4 months post surgery. always be happy about what you lose and happy about the exercise you do. you are the only one whose happiness you have to worry about.

You are doing great. Almost 5 lbs a week! More than 10% of your body weight lost already.

Unless your doctor gave you reason to believe you needed to hit a specific number by week 6, relax. Be proud of what you have done so far and enjoy!

Good luck at your appointment!

27lbs including pre op or just after surgery? I think 27lbs is great! I'm only down 10 since surgery and I'm 4 weeks out.

im only down 22lbs and i'm 3 weeks out so you are doing great! my 22lbs is with the 12 i lost before surgery

I'm only down 18.9 pounds since surgery & I'm 8 weeks out.
