That's perfectly OK. Why wouldn't it be?

I lost 14 pounds my first month post-op.

yup, you're right on track! Keep going.

If the scale is moving in the right direction, it's okay

Sometimes it's even okay if it's not.

Only 13 pounds? ONLY?

The number is going down right? Good job!!

The number is gong down but how many have had the surgery on 4-6-16 and how much have they lost I thought I would loose more than that but I guess not my Dr. Said that was fine.

Please take a deep breath. You asked a question and got great answers.

Please do not compare yourself to other people. You just had major surgery and are healing. You have lost weight, probably more than you would have on any diet, and your surgeon said you are doing fine.

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. We all experience periodic stalls and you are due for your first stall. Almost everyone experiences their first stall about three weeks post-op.

Just follow your program. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise when cleared.

You are doing great.

You really need to learn to NOT compare yourself with others. I mean that with love and care in my heart. As I tell my kids, there will always be someone richer/poorer, prettier/uglier, dumber/smarter, fatter/skinnier, taller/shorter than you.

Comparing yourself to a faster loser will be as difficult for you as whomever is currently comparing their 6,8,10 pound weight loss with your 13 pounds.

And with this, I will back out of this thread. Best of luck to you.

I lost 10.4 pounds my first month post-op.

I've lost 100 pounds and now weigh 135 pounds.

Bam!

Comparing yourself to others is a recipe for frustration and misery. I know it's really hard to get your head around in the early days post-op, but your sleeve is forever. You will never be "done" with it like the diets of your past. I promise you that 10 years from now, when you are happy and healthy and maintaining your weight, how much you lost in the first month post-op will mean jack squat.
