So I had surgery almost a year ago and I'm only down 60 pounds. I do eat appropriate but for the past two months my exercise has decreased tremendously dude to a knee injury.

Day of surgery weight: 259

Today 198

I'm only 63 inches and yes I know we can't compare our journey to anyone else's but it's discouraging to read that someone had surgery this past March and is 80 pounds down and I'm almost a year out and barely at 60.

I'm sure there is more I could be doing and would love some advice. My one year date is coming up and I would love to be at a total of 75 pounds down but am aware that's probably impossible. When I asked my surgery how much I'm expected to lose she said between 75-80 pounds which would still leave me in the overweight category but not morbidly obese.

Any corrective criticism and advice would be helpful.

You don't mention what you are doing.

Are you:

Tracking your food?Consuming all of your Protein and fluids (at least 64 oz) every day?

What is your protein target?

Avoiding starches, added sugars, and fried foods?

Practicing mindful eating?

Taking your Vitamins and supplements as instructed?

Since your injury have you looked for other forms of exercise?

Have you talked to your NUT about your challenges and goals? If so, what does he or she advise?

What does your surgeon say?

Without more information it is hard to offer specific suggestions. You may be eating too much or may not be eating enough. Either of those can cause slower weight loss.
