I total understand I'm freaking out too. I was 5 weeks post op and went to see my surgeon he told me I hadn't lost enough weight.

SW 285

Weight at 5 wks 265

Current Weight 257

He told me I have to lose 20 lbs in the next 5 wks :(

My scale hasn't moved in a wk. I am walking as much as I can, I have 15 mth old I chase around all day.

I hate that he is making me feel like I'm a failure already.

I don't agree that you are expected to drop an exact amount in a specific time...that is just asking for stress. You work the plan..stay away.from slider foods..and you will be fine.

Relax and enjoy your successes !!

What's he going to do if you don't? Undo your surgery? Beat you up? Pull off your toenails? Whatevs....! Just keep on, you're doing great.

No pressure! Lol... I really don't understand that. I was a "slow loser" in the beginning then it caught up with me. Everyone's bodies react differently. As long as you're following your plan you will be successful.

Are you kidding? I would be elated with 37 pounds!! :) I had my surgery 1/23/14. Mind you I dropped 32 pounds prior to surgery, but the first month after surgery I only lost 13 pounds!! And I did not cheat!! Not even once. I even stayed the same for a week! Everyone kept telling me Wow! Look at you! How much have you lost now?? I hated mumbling 13. My nutritionist was not happy when I asked her about comparing myself to others. So I have not been on the scale since 2/21/14 at my last appointment. I go back this Friday 3/28/14. I was super excited cause I can't wait to see how much I've dropped now. But after reading all these posts about 37-40 pounds since surgery around the same time as myself, I am nervous now. I find myself thinking, what if I only lost another 13?? That would only be 26 since surgery. However, I am going to hold my head high and not dwell on it. My loss is my loss and I feel tremendous and I have been dropping in size!! So be extremely happy with your progress! I am excited for you!! :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
