Post op 7 weeks....I've only lost 25 lbs since surgery. I do 60-80 protein and under 25 net carbs. What am I not doing right?

You don't mention what your starting weight is nor your goal weight. 3 lbs per week is actually very good! In a year you would lose 156 lbs! Keep up the good work!

Try not to compare to others...some folks here in here were on the high side of over weight and need to lose 200-300 lbs so their weight loss is much more dramatic.

I'm envious of you, my weight loss is too fast, but it has its drawbacks, I started at 388 in January and was 362.2 at my first appt, on surgery day June 10th I was at 344, and today probably at 320, but I used to get in atleast 1500-2300 calories per day, I now at under 100carbs, 400-500 cal, and 65-89 protein per day, I also work out hardcore 3 times a week at the gym, so I can't do more than 3 because of muscle repair time, I'm also not sedentary like i used to be, but the problem is that posing weight that fast usually means you can gain it back a lot faster than some one who losses at your rate, I would be content at 2-3 lbs per week, sometimes it's more like 3-5, keep going and do what your doing, you are doing everything right, good luck

What's your starting BMI? The more you have to lose, the more you lose at first. Usually when I see starting BMI'S at 40 or below, you lose about the rate you're losing. And even if your BMI is higher, 25 pounds is great for 7 weeks. It's more than I lost in 7 weeks!

Any loss is great! This isn't a race. You're not going to lose all your weight overnight. It takes time, patience and persistence. You'll get there!

Your weight loss sounds right on track. I was losing, on average, 13lbs a month for the 1st year.

Keep up the good work.

When I felt my weight loss was too slow, I reminded myself of how fast I was NOT losing weight pre-surgery. :-)
