Am I losing too slowly?

Thank you all. I am having a day of frustration. In the last 2 weeks I have lost 3 lbs. Ok i did have a dumping incident where i could not eat for 3 days. I feel like a loser and not in the way I wish. I know it will happen but it does not make the process easier.

But you have lost 26.6kg in 2 months? That is like 60 pounds! That is a lot! Jump for joy, Girl!!!

I feel like I am losing slowly when I compare myself to others but in general I am okay with it. I have read that losing slowly gives your skin more time to adjust. I was really hoping by my one month check up that I would have lost more than 20lbs but oh well. I am still losing and that is was counts. I go to the gym 5 days a week which is great even though all I can do with the elliptical, treadmill or bike. I am there for an hour but that is mostly due to Covid and the gym limiting everyone to 60 minutes. I have lost 16lbs since my surgery and that is great!

I am 5 weeks post op and have lost 15 lbs. Is this on the lower end of losing? I don’t get much exercise in and am trying to work on that, but I feel a bit like I’m failing myself. Input is appreciated!

Isn't slower better, to keep from getting loose skin?

I don't know if it makes that much difference, to be honest. If people's skin is super stretched out and damaged, it's not going to bounce back. I suppose if the person isn't all that overweight to begin with, it might, though...

Yes, in general, slow is better for loose skin and for keeping it off. But as Catwoman stated, it does depend on how much weight is lost, age of the person, exercise, Water intake....these all affect the skin. If there is 100+ weight loss, there will be loose skin somewhere!
