The nutritionist said that 17 pound loss in 7 weeks is good . I really expected more loss by 7 weeks. She went over my diet log and said I was doing the right things, I am just depressed wanting to buy new clothes ..

That means your average weight loss is over 2 pounds a week! Safe, sustainable loss. It's excellent! What was your starting weight? If your BMI is lower to begin with, you may see a slower loss than some others on the page. (My BMI was 35, and I have lost 46 as of a couple weeks ago. This is my 6th month.) Keep the faith. New clothes on the horizon!

I am right there with you! I am 6 weeks out and saw my NUT at one month out. At that point, I had lost 14 lbs. since surgery. She thought that was great--an average of 3.5 lbs. a week, she said. But it seems so darn slow to me!

As the tortoise stated "slow and steady wins the race"...

Think about the last time you lost weight at that rate and it may help you appreciate what you have accomplished!

I waited and waited to get new clothes, as I hate to shop... until my pants practically fell off my hips! ...I HAVE to wear a belt now LOL...never thought I'd do that...much less find one that fit me...

Today I noticed my jeans will slide down over my hips without unzipping again... they don't feel too big, but I guess they are... so I'll have to find some smaller ones...

Goodwill, here I come again!

@@emiadams enjoy your spoils! No Lb lost is greater than an any other! As far as clothes don't worry that will come and like an avalanche you will need a whole new wardrobe. I too shopped at Goodwill during the weight loss phase. I don't know about your area but on certain holidays they would have everything 50% Off so I went crazy and bought some "goal clothes" too.

I was sleeved 9/16/14 - pre op weight on 8/28/14 was 223. Weight day of surgery was 215. Today 10/8/14 is 208. Depressed - feel like it should be more. Anyone else this slow ?

Slowly but surely - down to 205.6. It will come off

I hear ya!! I lost 14 lbs since mine. 3 weeks!
