I'm now 2 weeks post op and I'm down 14 lbs but I begin my mushy/purée food stage today, did anyone notice a change in weight loss once they advanced to this stage?

Yes, mine slowed down considerably, to about 2 lbs a week. Which is still awesome, just hard to adjust you when you get used to 2 lbs a day. But that being said I'm now 7 weeks out and have lost 5 lbs in 2 days. So I think it takes a while for your body to adjust to real food again.

Yea in the first week I lost 10lbs but last week I only lost 4 which I'm not complaining at all, but I've heard since I wasn't "that big" to begin with I would loose slower than someone who was "heavier." Have you found that exercising helps increase the weight loss?

I find that a combination of exercise and the right foods help. But have you taken measurements, cause every time I get annoyed with the scales I take measurements and try on clothes that haven't fit me in a while and they either fit or are too big. So that helps me feel better when the scales aren't cooperating lol.

I also find that I physically feel better when I exercise, even if it's just a walk, but I didn't start any kind of exercise till 2.5 weeks post op.

My surgery date was 6-21 and I've only lost 28lbs. I'm super disappointed. It's hard to come on here sometimes because it seems like everyone else with the same date is at like 40 lbs.. So upsetting.

I have not taken measurements, I suppose I should! I know that inches are coming off because I tried on a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to get into since last summer and they were a little snug but I could button them so maybe another 5lb loss and I should be comfortable in them! I started walking as of Monday, and I actually feel pretty good, so I will continue to do that just to try and make sure these lbs and inches keep coming off !

28lbs is awesome progress, I'm hoping to so get to that number by the time I'm 4 weeks post op, which will be in 2 weeks! 28-30 lbs loss is my first goal I wanted to get to! I think you should be thrilled with those results seriously, that's 28lbs off your body, do you notice the difference? Have you started doing any exercising yet?

_{I'm 4 weeks post-op and lost 16 pounds since surgery. I now loose about 2 pounds per week at this point. I'm happy with any weight loss. This is one of the best decisions I've ever made.}
