Hello, I believe I am a slow loser and I was wondering how long it took you to reach your goal weight? I exercise and eat right, I take my vitamins and drink my water, it just seems like it's going by so slowly. This past 7 1/2 weeks I've battled getting down below 200, it's not working.

I'm not sure if I should be worried but I believe I am a slow loser. Granted I'm only on day 11 of the pre-op liquid diet but I haven't lost much. It's very disappointing watching the numbers on the scale. I think I may have lost 3lbs to 4lbs. So my question is when did you realize you were a slow loser, pre-op or post-op? Has exercise helped?

I didn't realize I was a slow loser untill my last apt with my surgeon (at 5 months) and he was disappointed in me for "only" losing 50 lbs since surgery. I'm terrified to see him next month because I'm a people pleaser (especially with authority figures) and i know it will crush me if I get that same reaponse.

@@MaryC94, pre-op does not necessarily define how you will lose post-op. I lost 15lbs in my two week pre-op diet with no exercise . My surgeon was impressed. I am over 5 months out & have lost 41lbs. my quick weight loss pre-op did not continue post-op. I refuse to stress, I know I'm not working out nearly enough & I'm making the necessary changes.
