July 6, 201610 yr your weight loss seems to be well above average - it's normal for it to slow down. just keep following the plan.
July 6, 201610 yr That is far from disappointing. Typical weight loss is 2lb a week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 6, 201610 yr Author Maybe I should not complain...I am scared now that I'm adding food that I will start to gain weight...
July 6, 201610 yr Your body will need whole foods. Just wait until the dreaded stalls happen lol you are doing great Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 6, 201610 yr I am right there with you. I want this to go faster. As soon as I added food I gained like 1/2 a pound and then lost it in a few days and now I am going down. VERY SLOWLY. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 6, 201610 yr Seriously Robert? You're disappointed in losing 2 lbs. a day? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 7, 201610 yr @@RobertD16 If you are going to weigh yourself every day and fret over it, you are in for a very long very miserable journey. I weigh myself every day but only Mondays count. Your weight can fluctuate daily and even hourly based on the content of your body.

July 7, 201610 yr I weighed myself early on and it drove me nuts. I stopped and went to once a week, until I got less attached to the scale, and had lost more weight.
July 7, 201610 yr Author I weighed myself early on and it drove me nuts. I stopped and went to once a week, until I got less attached to the scale, and had lost more weight. Yeah...I am happy with the weight I have lost so far...I just need to let it happen as it is going too....
July 7, 201610 yr Once I was under 300 pounds, something I had never been able to do on my own. I felt like surgery was really worth it and I was less attached to the what the scale said. Once you get less detached, it is good to weight yourself so you can learn it just naturally fluctuates and its not as big of a deal.
July 7, 201610 yr Lol with this 5 week stall I'm not getting up on the scale for awhile. It just annoys me. My clothes are getting looser after 8 months went from a 26/4x to a size 10 L tops
July 7, 201610 yr Author my clothes are starting to be lose too considering I've already lost over 50 lbs I've already went from a 4x to a 2x

Now I did lose 28lb prior to the surgery, but my weight loss after the surgery slowed down a lot after the first two months. I am now four months out and only losing about 1lb per week. Sure I'd like it to go faster, but I already move a lot better and feel and look a lot better, and I am continuing to lose/improve, so I am happy with how things are going. If it takes me 12-18 months to reach my goal that is okay, I will still be thrilled to actually get there, which was inconceivable to me not long ago. The bottom line is, the benefits don't start when you reach your goals - you're getting them all along the way!
