See I'm really getting discouraged. I was on Clear Liquids for a week and a half post op (sleeve couldn't handle shakes until day before yesterday). I can still only have MAX a 4 oz shake 3 times A day. I'm staying hydrated and in almost 2 weeks I'm only down 13 lbs. I feel like it should be more. I'm up and active every day, even with barely taking in those calories. I just hate getting frustrated so early.

This is why you never, ever compare yourself to others. Some people are slow and steady losers. Not everyone will have those big giant numbers. As long as you lose the weight, what's the rush? Continue to follow your program, the weight loss will happen.

My weight loss started off really slowly, and I was on this same forum saying pretty much the same thing you're saying now. Like others told me then, it's different for everyone, and it will get better. ????

I'm just a couple day past 6 months and I've only lost 45lbs. I'm discouraged. I just found out I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome which they think may play a role in why I'm not losing weight so fast like others. I have 50 more lbs to go to make my year goal weight and worried I wont make it...

Sounds like you are losing right around the same pace I was. I was down about 46 pounds at 6 months, with at least 35 to go. It can be discouraging, but the scale IS moving in a general downward direction. That's what really matters!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
