I've been kinda grumpy about my weight loss - I've lost right at 30 pounds in two months since surgery. But, honestly, most of that time has been a stall - seems like the weight loss happened over just a few days and the rest of the time, nothing happened.

THEN I realized that what I've actually done is lose 1/3 of the weight I want to lose in just 2 months. Put it that way, it sure sounds like a lot!

As with most things in life, it's all in how you look at it.

@@rhayla Good job!

I feel similarly grumpy but am having trouble finding the silver lining. I am almost 3 months out (in a week it will be 3 months) and I've lost 46 since surgery... but, like you, I feel like it happened mostly all in the span of a couple days and most of the time I'm stalled out. Plus, while 46 is nice and all, I need to lose something like 120 pounds so that's barely a flash in the pan. Sigh.

Thanks for this post. It really encouraged me!

Hey you guys I am a preop pt trying to get authorization for surgery. I have done weight watchers for the past 5 years and have found that following the program and exercising regularly I was losing only 4-5 lbs/month and then stalling out for months at a BMI of about 33. So 30 pounds in 2 months sounds great. Last night at my exercise class I met a woman who had lost 70 lbs in 3 months but she said she felt awful because she was so weak from not eating. So if you are feeling good that's terrific!

I am 7 weeks today since surgery and as of this morning I've lost 34 pounds since that day. 44 if you count the weight lost on my 5 day liquids diet during preop. I keep getting bummed because I will drop like 10 pounds in no time then stall out for a week or more. Then I read other posts on here and I realize 34 pounds in 7 weeks aint to shabby when it comes to weight loss. I still have 100+ to go so I'm similar to @easymack63. We can get through this, just gotta keep chugging along. I agree it's easy to get grumpy and bummed about it when the scale aint moving but when looking at the bigger picture, I think we're doing A-OK!

Whether you lose a bunch of weight and stall for 3 weeks.....or lose a little weight each day.....it still adds up to a bunch of weight lost : )

Way better than gaining no matter how its shed!

Stay true to the process and it will all work out just like its suppose to.

Continued luck to everyone!

! Amen! Amen! And seriously 30 lbs sounds great! I mean who wouldn't love to loose 480oz in 2 months that's like 240oz/month!
