Good afternoon everyone! I had my surgery on June 30 and am now 3 months out. My surgery weight was 247 and I'm now down to 205, so I've lost 42lbs so far. I feel as if this isn't that much weight in 3 months and that I should be losing more weight than this. What do you think? Also, I'm being told my the nutritionist that I should be eating 3-4ozs of Protein at my meals but I'm still having a hard time with this. I can normally eat between 2-3ozs before I start having hiccups which to me is a sign I'm done. Having a hard time figuring out my eating? I've been going to the gym 5 times a week. I feel as if I'm on another plateau because I'm not losing weight. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

42 lbs is fantastic! Celebrate that. I would be ecstatic if I were down to 205 in 3 months. My surgery is Tuesday and I'm starting at about 244. Stalls happen. In my experience that is when I'm losing the inches. I'm going from a band to bypass or sleeve. I'm not setting myself up to expect a loss as fast as yours.

I think that's a pretty significant weight loss and you should feel proud. Keep working the plan because it's working for you.

If you hiccup and 2-3 oz do not push it. Maybe you can add an extra 2 oz Protein meal to your day. Ask your nut.

So I'm stuck at 23 pounds loss since surgery. I'll be 2 months out on tomorrow. I'm envious.

Travelher, thank you for the encouraging words. I hope that your sugery went well and things are going good for you.

Higher, after reading these replies I'm going to just be happy thato I'm losing the weight. I do drink a few ounces of Protein still for a snack in the am & pm. Still trying to get in more than 2 ounces of protein at a time. Thinking it's just going to take time.

KR1920, I had a stall early on within weeks of my surgery that lasted about 3 weeks so hopefully your weight loss will start back up. Just keep at it.

Thanks again everyone!
