Had my 6 weeks post op visit yesterday everything looking good, pulled labs interested to see how they are looking. I have lost 28 lbs I feel like that's pretty slow but dr says average is 3-5 lbs per week and I am in that range. Seems I am getting my protein in any ideas to boost my weight loss? I faithfully take my vitamins, drink my water or crystal light, been walking although my knee limits that some, just any special food ideas or exercise ideas would be appreciated, don't think I'm in the stall phase it's just slow but I'm not complaining, still excited about my journey and committed to seeing this through. Thanks everyone!

I feel the same way. I'll be 4 weeks tomorrow only lost 14lbs. I don't eat very much and I workout. Not happy with my weight loss.

I finally felt thinner yesterday, but refuse to weigh until Wednesday, that's my weigh day. I was disappointed in my weight loss too, as I am eating so much less, you would think it would just fall off, but it's like my body has a mind of it's own, and is holding on to that fat, I hope my body gives in soon, and the weight really starts coming off. Everyone on here says it will. Good luck

Don't let the scale be your gauge. Trust me you are losing inches and your body is adjusting to surgery. Stay within your programs guidelines and don't get too caught up in "pounds lost" it will come off. Besides when you lose too fast, I believe your body will work twice as hard to put it back on. Focus on eating on plan, drinking water as recommended, and exercise. Wishing you success!

I get my protein in drinking Isopure.It is 40 g. of protein water and comes in a variety of flavors.I am so over shakes.
