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??

Thanks for posting this! I’m 8weeks out as of today and I’ve lost 39 but wondered if that was any good. I feel much better now.

Remember that each of us starts in a different place.
Even if we were to find someone the same age,gender,height,HW, and SW, you STILL wouldn’t be able to compare yourself because there are so many many complicated factors and biological systems involved with weight gain and weight loss.
I guess about the only people who could compare themselves would be identical twins, and even that could be dangerous.

As of today I’ve lost 88 pounds PO and my surgery was 2-6-19.
I know many in my February group who’ve blown me out of the water in number of pounds lost, but I’m less than 4 pounds from GW and couldn’t be happier with my progress.
My progress was “slow,and steady”, but I’m almost there.
I won’t quite hit GW by Saturday, and the story of this entire process for me has been falling short of monthly weight loss goals (I think in the 8 months PO, I’ve only hit a goal on time just ONCE) but I’m going to keep plugging away and working the plan.

Guys, this is a marathon, not a sprint bc it is something that will have to be managed for the REST OF OUR LIVES.

Here is my progress report.
Yes,there was a few week period of complete free-fall right after surgery and then slow and steady thereafter

Ugh. Wrong photo loaded on previous post

You are doing great. I was at 203 post op and have only lost 19 lbs at 6 weeks. I’m 5 feet tall. I was doing ok until the purée phase. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for posting. I was sleeved 9/30 and have had a few stalls. And now on my second stall. It’s so frustrating and I don’t understand it.

Current weight is 240.

Surgery date was 7-18-19

I’m in the pre-op phase and I’d be tinkled pink if I lost 45lbs in 2 months doing all those yo-yo diets . Just remember how hard it was to drop weight before surgery. (I’m probably going to need to remind myself of this too)
