Am i the only one who has only lost 10 lbs since surgery? I am 3 weeks out and have only lost 10 lbs....i only eat protien...3 times a day as my NUT suggested....i feel like i should have lost like 20 by now? i know the scales are just a number...but what am i doing wrong? I already eat any protien as long as i chew it up enough....but i dont eat too much...

Sorry to hear you're struggling. How are you getting in all your protein eating 3 times a day? All shakes?

i am having a shake for breakfast ( 25 g) and for lunch i am having 25g ( tuna or chicken salad) and for supper ground turkey taco meat ( 25 g) ...so i am getting 75 grams everyday....sometimes 80 if i slide in a bite or 2 more.

I think maybe you're not getting as much protein as you think. 25g of chicken salad does not have 25g of protein - more like 4. And 25g of taco meat has about 5g of protein. I think you're starving yourself. I just googled "nutrition information" to get those values.

im sorry, i didn't explain very well, i meant i was getting 25g of protien with chicken salad and 25 grams with turkey taco meat.

So during the day i am usually getting about 75grams of protien all together. I drink 70 ounces of water ( usually) ....but have only lost 10 lbs..... ( which im glad i lost it) but it seems like i should have lost more in three weeks....right?

Yes, it seems like you're on the slow end of losing, but it doesn't happen at a steady pace. You might break into super-loser mode any time. Had you lost a lot on the pre-diet? It could just be your body adjusting. At least you're not stalled.

btw, you are doing extraordinarily well on the foods you can eat already. I can still only eat about 2 ounces of chicken salad at a meal, and was still on scrambled eggs and soup at 3 weeks. So, I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

i lost 15 lbs prey op...so i am at 25 all together. And yes, my surgeon said i was doing extremely well too with the foods i am able to eat. HE said that it was fine...but in the back of my mind it worries me....( not surgery wise, but weight loss wise)

25 pounds in a month is great! We're all unique and have absolutely no control over how our body/metabolism reacts to surgery and the new way of eating. At this point, we're just along for the ride. So long as we follow the rules, the scale will move. Have faith

thank you....that actually really helps to put it in perpective! Thank you!

I was stuck at between 301-298 for almost 2 weeks. I started the gym this week and cut out carbs from my diet and no sugar drinks..... Ive lost 5lbs this week and down to 293. Sometimes you need to make a few changes to get the ball rolling again, Find the motivation and track what your putting in should help you out.

I feel your worry....I'm over 2 months out and have only lost 30 pounds....seems like everyone has lost a TON....I am eating plant based too!!! ugh! My starting weight was last September too BTW...at surgery I was 263....

I’m at 9 weeks out and have lost only 35 pounds from day of surgery. I had a 3 week stall where I lost absolutely nothing.

well...im glad its not just me! But...gonna keep on keepin on...and pray the results get better!

It’s difficult but try not to compare your results to someone else. When I get discouraged over my “slow” loss, I am starting to try to compare myself to myself.

When was the last time I lost 5 pounds in one week? When was the last time I lost “only” 10 pounds in a month? When was the last time I maintained 100 pounds lost for a week or two without starting to gain back, or eat fast food?

Maybe your answers will surprise you and you will see your own self as more successful rather than comparing yourself to someone else’s success.

May we all reach our goals in our time!

This ??1,000 times over!
