Need some encourging

hi- i am 7 wk post, and now that im eating regular im seeing a decrease weight loss. Is this normal? The first four weeks i loss between 9 to 12 lbs and now its like 3 to 5 a week. Just wondering if im doing something wrong.Pls share

Hi, Amy I'm also 7 weeks out and the first 2 weeks I was a 10 lb consecutive loser But now all I average is 3 lbs a week. I was told that this "is" normal. But you know the drill. Diff docs diff bodies diff weight loss. I had to say to myself.."self, before this surgery would I have been losing 3lbs a week" and myself said "NO!" So we are doing just fine I guess. Saida

that was cute.

Yes that was normal at least for me! Infact at about 5 weeks out I hit a speedbump and did not lose one pound for about 2 weeks! I just now started losing again.

Let me start by saying "Thank God I'm not the only one!" Now with that out of the way, I'm losing slow too. But the good news is for all of us. At least we're all losing and gain 1-5 pounds a week. Maria

hi again amy: you're not doing anything wrong, amy. you'd know if you were. but to continue with the quicker weight loss wouldn't really be that good for you. i actually couldn't weigh myself for the first month = scale didn't go that high. but at about 7 weeks i think i'm losing about 5 per week. i'm very happy with that. try to look on the bright side, amy. you're still losing. those pounds are gone forever. you will continue to lose. and you only had to go through the surgery once.!! take care dorthe

I'm 9 weeks out today and only down 32.8 pounds! It's slow going for me, too. It gets very frustrating at times especially since I'm doing everything right and walking a few miles a day! It'll all come off eventually! Good luck!
