I am concerned that I am not making progress like the others in my support group. Is 60 lbs in an acceptable range at 6 months?

Hi,

I had my sleeve surgery on 4/13, so I'm almost 4 mo out.

I am wondering same thing. Is there a STANDARD # of lb per month that is average?

Am I "behind" and should I cut out all carbs? I began eating some carbs just to see

if I could. Seems I can eat some as lon gas I don't eat lots of carbs. So am eating just about

everything now except apples, oranges, popcorn, skins on veggies/fruits. I am also doing minimal

exercise.

Shoudl I be losing more?

Should I absolutely be vigorous exercise daily to push more off?

Need advice from others ahead of us out there!

I think it really depends on how much excess weight you had to lose to begin with.

My BMI was 42 at the time of surgery.

I'm almost 6 months post op and have lost 63lbs since surgery...I'm happy with that! [emoji3]

It's great! Don't compare yourself to others! We all lose at different rates! Congrats - keep it up!

I'm following the Bariatric diet strictly and am also averaging 10 pounds per month. My doctor said that I was losing slower than average. I'm not letting it bother me. I'm still walking at least 40 minutes a day and try to drink Water and Protein as much as I can along with the Vitamines. They say that everyone has their journey and I know that this weight will come off as long as I keep trying. I am envious of those people able to lose over 100 pounds in 6 months.
