30lb pound in 40 days sounds pretty good to me, thats 30lb in almost six weeks.

Take into account, the first week or so when there is the surgery Fluid gain, take into account the typical 3rd or 4th week stall, all in all you are doing well.

But generally, we know nothing about you, your height, weight, how many calories you are consuming, how much you lost pre-op....etc etc...I still say its pretty good, and your expectations may possibly be too high dependent on your start weight.

I'm confused. You are 40 days out and thought you would be in maintenance mode by now?

you are doing fine. This is a tool and not magic. We still have to do all the work. 30 pounds in 40 days is amazing! Just keep at it and you will see the weight come off.

Quit watching 600lb Life. LOL. Very few peeps lose 50lbs per month. ROFL! Most will average 8-10lbs per month over time. That's still 100-120lbs per year.

Yes I love watching that show but I'm not basing my lost by theres. I myself have felt like I have come to a complete stop but maybe it's just me wishing I could see the difference already

@krazymel24 Hi there...it's pretty typical to lose quite a bit of weight within 30 days after surgery then comes the stalls, most of us have them and go through that, just keep following your plan and the weight will come off, this is a lifetime commitment if you want to be successful and keep the weight off.

Please just concentrate on getting in your water/liquids, Protein, log your food on whatever app that works for you and try to get in some walking if you are able...be realistic with your goals and be kind to yourself. You have a wonderful tool, enjoy it and make it work for you!

Don't obsess over it, take one day at a time. It's not a race honey. It's about getting healthy and figuring out a plan of how to keep this weight off for the rest of our lives.

I wish you nothing but the best on your journey, we are all here rooting for you ✌️ ((Hugs))

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
