Its not how fast you drop weight. Its the fact you are dropping weight. Are you tracking food and working out?

@@sjuarez - what about calories? you have to eat a minimum amount and I think we all get wrapped up in protein and SF and forget we do need a certain amount of calories in our diet.

Don't be depressed I too am a slow looser and I have done everything I thought I was supposed to do ! I know how you feel I had my sugery in January and Have not lost that much but I have lost inches Just hang in there they say It will come off in time !! I hope Some of are just slow losers I guess !!!

I know it can be discouraging when you are following the rules but the scale isn't rewarding you as much as you thought it should. My body actually "stalls" for about two weeks then I'll lose really well for two weeks. We are all different and our bodies lose the way they want to. As long as you are doing what you're supposed to be doing like reaching protein and water goals then the scale will catch up. I also notice sometimes I lose inches before a loss shows up on the scale. Make sure you are measuring yourself too. The scale isn't the only indicator of success. :-)

It's more than two pounds a week. So it's not that slow! Some bodies just lose differently. Just think if you hadn't had the surgery you wouldn't have lost it at all!
