Please see my post I just made 100% real. What is your goal for loss? Figure out the percent to goal... 27 pounds means nothing without knowing where you started. We are all different and comparing by numbers alone with torture you when someone shares they have lost 60 pounds in 2 months! Have faith and keep perspective :-)

You are on track for YOU, and that's all that matters.

That's 1/2 a pound a day!!! (a little more actually)...so think about it that way...

Everyone loses at their own rate, follow your guidelines and you will be fine.

My goal is to lose 175 pounds. Starting weight is 355. PreOp loss was 45 pounds. 27 since surgery. I now weigh 283 for a total of 72 pounds loss since I started this journey. I guess that puts me at about 40% of total weight loss needed.

I started at 347, lost 35 pre-op. I am 7 weeks out and have lost 25 post-op. Our numbers are fairly similar. I feel like a slow loser compared to many people who post but, honestly, I'm enjoying losing steadily but not having it be so in your face, if that makes sense. I know I'm eating what and how. Much I need to but I'm not doing great at Water intake so that's what I'm focusing on improving at this point.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
