No, we can't compare. Yes, we're all different, but I do think I am somewhat the "turtle" here. I am doing everything they say.

But, I keep seeing people who have had the surgery same time as I, and they're blowing me out of the water

Stats. Surgery day Dec 11, - 321 Today 291 ( 8 weeks out)

I've only lost 30 pounds since surgery and 53 since preop diet ( yes, I lost a gigantic chunk in that two week preop sucker)

Your opinion?

And yes, I'm working out!

Thanks Girl

Others are losing more. But as Creek said, how much of that is pre surgery diet or whatever..

Hi, can I just tell you? You're profile picture is gorgeous? That color looks great on you, too..

Thanks so much sweetie! Your kind words made my day xx

I feel the same way as you do. My surgery was 12/28. I've lost 19 lbs. since surgery and I've followed all dietary protocol. I do walk around my block each week - some weeks more than others because of fibromyalgia and arthritis pain. I spoke to my doctor about this and she was understanding, encouraged me to rest in the worse days and do more in the better days. She also thought my weight loss was good. I had lost 18 lbs. during the first 4 weeks and lost 1 lb. in the last week. Like you, I have wondered why more hasn't come off because I'm not eating much and I see other people losing more weight. Since my consultation, I've lost 41 pounds. The dietician, therapist, and surgeon are pleased. I'm just hoping things don't keep going this slowly. While I feel this way, all of the posts make perfect sense and are very logical. And, I actually think your weight loss is very good. You're really doing great and need to keep doing what you're doing.
