Hey guys, I'm two weeks out tomorrow and haven't lost a single pound in the last week.. I drink two Protein shakes per day, Water, and eat yogurt or pudding and have a Popsicle usually.. I'm getting about 70 g of Protein, 60oz of Fluid on average, etc.. I don't understand how people lose so much?! I've been stalled a week.. I lost 8 lbs since surgery on 6/20 but haven't lost anything in the last week. Answers?

I completely understand what your going thru. My first sleeve never worked I lost 15 pounds with diet pills. The doctor have me since I was depressed about not losing weight. Call the doctors office talk to them.

I'm at 55 days and just under 25 lbs. Frustrating in one sense, but on the flip side, it took me 7 months to lose 17 lbs to prepare for the surgery. So I consider the 25 lbs in 2 months a win! If I continue to average 12 lbs a month (which...who knows?), I'll be at goal, or close to it, in 6 months. Anything can happen, but I constantly remind myself that this is better than I've ever done before.

Bmi plays the determining factor most of the time...

Well Well Well...

Im down 25lbs since surgery exactly 3 months (12 weeks) ago..yesterday..i have been on a stall for the past 3 weeks but i continue to eat right and excercise i do see the inches coming off. So with that said be a little patient at least your complaining of stalling and not gaining.

Good Luck

Sounds like im not the only one that was looking for her initial "rapid weight loss". but a good point was made in this thread no matter how slow its moving its still faster than it ever has been in life for me anyways. I started at a bmi of around 45 ish. surgery 6/1 so ill be 3 months out in 4 days i have yet to hit 30lbs down right around 26-27i think. yet i have a buddy how had surgery 2 weeks ago and has already loss 25lb. The big difference is she has about 200 to drop to hit her weight goal i have about 41 left(to the first goal) .Its hard not to compare journeys, or at least be envious of those with rapid weight loss or a penis in this case, but keep on trucking

This is where the % of weight lost is more appropriate than the actual pounds. Think of it that way and you'll realize you're doing just as well as your friend.
