I'm getting really concerned because I'm not losing weight at the rate that I expected I haven't done that yet. Can someone give me pointers on may be losing weight quicker? any advice would be helpful thank you

When did you have your surgery? What are you eating ? If you are dropping weight still then that is what really counts. Are you working out? Everyone's body is different and weight loss is different for everyone! It will take time. If you are doing the right things, then the weight will come off. Maybe not as fast as we would all like but it will.

I had my surgery on March 30th. I follow my plan relig out because I have a spinecan I work out because I have a spine problem. I saw on this site some exercises that you can do while sitting down. I will be trying that starting tomorrow. it is just really painful for me. but otherwise I stick to my plan I go to the scale everything expecting a drop but I stay within a pound or two.it is very discouraging because I really really and trying really hard.

it will come off just give it time, its true everyones body is different, i am only 3 week post op but the advice i can offer is GET THE scale OUT OF THE HOUSE! my husband took it away after day 5 for me and said no more...get that number out of your head. go with how you feel

Check in with your surgeon or at least call the nurse if you have concerns. I can't tell that there are any "tricks" at this early stage ... just follow the plan as directed by your doctor. Good luck!

I agree with Maggie and Jeanie.Also, I used to weigh myself everyday too. I used to get discouraged also because I wasn't dropping fast enough and my weight use to fluctuate between 1 to 2 pounds at times. I do not weigh myself like that anymore. But I know I am progressing because of how I feel and my sizes. I have gone from a 22 to a size 12 now in jeans. No more elastic stretch I am in the zipper and pocket club now!!!! HHHHHEEEEEYYYYY!!!!! I also went from a 2xl shirt to a large. Okay supermodels watch out! It will happen it just won't be as quick as we want it.But I do agree. If y have concerns you should talk to your surgeon. 30 pounds is still wonderful and still a loss. Your body has to realize your different eating lifestyle and get used to the change. It will come off the way and time it's supposed too. If you feel depressed and discouraged talk to us. We are all in this together. We can offer support and encouragement. Now let's DO THIS!!!!!

You had your surgery March 30; you're not really active, and you've lost 38 pounds. I don't see the problem. You're doing fine. (???)

I had my surgery 3/25 and I am down 32 pounds and I felt the same as you that the weight is coming off too slow and was comparing myself to others and was not enjoying every pound that I was losing. I would try Water aerobics you would love it. I have lost inches big time and can fit in pants that I could NOT even get up my legs. So it will come off, I have had a few stalls where the scale have NOT moved at all but it will start to move again but for you water may work.

You've lost 38 pounds in 3 months and a week! That's slow? Not sure we're you started but whenever have you lost like that before? You're way too harsh on yourself. At this rate you will lose 140 pounds in a year. Not slow in any one's book.
