Somebody talk me down!

[Catherine Wible 51]

I am 67 days post-OP and only 25 pounds down since surgery. That makes a total of 95 pounds down total, but I have a long way to go, as I was 399 when I started this weight loss journey. I'm a little discouraged by the slow pace of my post-op weight loss. I keep telling myself that slow and steady wins the race , blah, blah, blah, but I thought it would come off a lot faster. I have been following the plan, but the Easter candy is starting to look so tempting. I was told that right after surgery, you couldn't help but lose weight. That it would just drop off. Well I was losing about a pound a day for two weeks or so and then I had a two week stall. I even gained 5 pounds eating 600-700 calories a day. Some days I couldn't even get up to 600.

that's about where I was at two months out, too. I thought there was no way I'd lose all my excess weight at that pace, but I did. People lose at all different rates for all different reasons. The key is sticking to your plan. If you're super committed, the weight will come off, whether fast or slow.

Same here.guess we just do our best. Under 1000 calories a day and that’s with pushing veg and some fruit. Carbs 30-60 at most a day. It will come I am sure

I am 60 days out and have lost 22 lbs. That's total. Now yes, my bmi started a lot lower than yours - but I still did think it would come off faster than it is. I have to work for every single ounce. I suppose it *is* coming off, though, rather than me working my butt off and still losing nothing. It's hard to be patient sometimes, though.

10 days ago I weighed 3 pounds less. I had to raise my weight on my stats. I'm one pound less today, but I'm not sure how that can be, un literally not eating that much. Maybe 800 calories.

I think everyone deals with this. I just told my niece I don't feel like I lost anything although she says she sees the difference. My surgeon did prepare me that my process would not be speedy Gonzales but stick to the plan and I will loose the weight. I think we all want this fast results but just like anything else it takes time. You will get there don't give up!

Some of us are slow losers but we all get there eventually!

I will post my weight loss so far for you to have a comparison. As you will see, I am a slow loser but I started with a bmi of 44 and its now 32, almost "normal" so I am one happy bunny!

Also, its now down to 2-3lbs a month but it is still going down. I am not an active person, I have bad hips so don't exercise as much as others on here but just having the restriction itself has lost me most of the weight, don't give up hope
