Depressed Not Losing

[DiamondDior 9]

I am so depressed...it has been 43 days since my surgery and I've only lost 24 pounds. I don't understand what is going wrong . Any advice is appreciated

you might need to add a bit more information.

Type of Surgery, What was your starting weight, What are you eating.. e.t.c

On exactly what diet have you ever been on to bring your expectations up above losing half a pound A DAY?

You are making wonderful progress! Keep your chin up. Keep in mind, slower losers get less loose skin

It's a marathon, not a sprint. You'll be fine!

lol my advice? stop stressing about those numbers girl! i'm 1.5 yrs out, down 146 lbs. it happens eat well, stay hydrated, and really, trust me, you're good!!

oh, and stalls happen. body is just adjusting to all the changes, so the scale might not move for a while. my longest stall was maybe 4 or 5 weeks...i was like ahhhhh! lol but it's good when they happen, and you need some motivation, check your tape measurements or try on something new...oftentimes during a stall, the scale doesn't move but those inches keep falling off.

I feel like we are in the same spot. I am 40 days out from bypass. I lost 70 before surgery so I am telling myself I already lost the easy weight. I am just focusing on my Fluid intake and my Protein tracking and how I have a giant pile of clothes to donate because they are way too big! Good luck!

I'm not quite to the place where my clothes are to big. I'm focusing on the same things (fluid intake, proteins) I can't wait till I see a drastic change
