Hello All,

i am 8 weeks post op and i feel so lost lol. Do you ever feel like you arent losing weight fast enough or you should lose more and you arent doing enough?? I feel like i need to start over haha jk. Any advice on how you felt at 8 weeeks??

What weight did you start at? Where are you now? Are you getting enough protein?

Thank you i guess i just feel like i need to be losing more because i have left 240 in like almost 2 weeks

you're doing great..weight don't go on overnight and it don't come off overnight either. Stick to the program, remember "you got this"

Everyone has stalls don't stress too much just keep your water and protein up

Thank you i appreciate it!

I think you're on track. I'm 8wks out also and have lost 37lbs. I stalled for 3 1/2wks too it was horrid! For the first 3months most sites say you'll typically lose from 30-40lbs. So you're ahead of the prediction!

Stop watching My 600lb Life. LOL! Seriously, that show is cool, but gives all of us the impression that we should be able to lose 25lbs in a week! LOL!

The average rate of loss is 2-4lbs per week. That's it. If you weigh more, you "can" possibly lose a lot more than that per week in the early months. But that's not a general truth.

You're doing great. There will be stalls. I had a 3 week and a 6 week stall.

Hiya, I'm 7 weeks post op and have only lost 34lb... i understand your frustration and hate that I'm a very slow loser but 45lbs is fantastic! You are doing great, keep it up!!

^^ that's it as long as that number keeps going down you'll be right mate

I am right there with you! Headed into my 9th week (sleeved 7/22). I am seeing inches come off more than the bloody numbers on the scale...honestly, I stopped stepping on it. I just do my water and protein like others say. I am having issues where I don't really want to eat, but make myself to stay on track with the protein. Things just taste funny!
