So tomorrow I'm 11 weeks post-op vsg and I'm only down 33lbs, I'm seeing people loosing a lot more and my surgery was before them. I know we shouldn't compare but it's so hard not to. I don't know where I'm going wrong.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

I've lost 31lbs in 12 weeks so I'm right there with you. Once I got past my 3 week stall, I have consistently lost 1-3 pounds a week so I've made peace with it. It really bothered me at first but it's not doing me any good to be constantly frustrated.

My doctor said they expect me to lose 4-6 pounds a month and I'm exceeding that goal right now.

You're probably not doing anything wrong. Took me 3 months to lose 30 pounds and I was thrilled. Relax and enjoy the journey. Protein, veggies, Water and vitamins...that's all you need to concentrate on right now. Stay off the scale and measure your success with NSV's.

I don't think that you realize that actually calculates to be a little over .00029762 lbs per min! Have you stopped to calculate? That alone can put things into an entirely new perspective. I mean based on that information alone you were still a looser even while you were snuggled sleeping soundly or just up walking the hall in your fuzzy slippers! :) so turn your thoughts with a positive spin. You went from zero to .00029762min with surgery :) that my friend is amazing. There are those who would envy being in your shoes. I'm sure there are some who may have a higher average just like cars they are all made different and performance levels are all different. So are we. There are so many variables that effect weight loss post surgery that you shouldn't ever focus on anything other than the positive. Your a looser! So keep it up your doing great considering the time of year when around every corner I'm sure you see candy canes and gum drops :) so keep focused and stay on track. Next stop skinny town!

Why ask a bunch of strangers if you should be proud? This is about you. Would you have been happy with this weight loss prior to surgery? I bet, yes. Why wouldn't you be proud of your accomplishments after the fact? No one can give you permission to feel proud of yourself. You feel proud because you did it and are continuing to do it. Own it & be kind to yourself.

Thank you to everyone who replied, at the time I was just seeing the negatives, I was being silly. All off your posts helped me to realize that. I appreciate it! I'm seeing the changes everyday, I've gone from a UK size 26 to a 18.. That should be encouragement enough really :P

Once again, thank you all.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
