want to lose more

Sarah, don't be discouraged. You're losing, that's the important thing. Boy, the more I read about the discrepancies in how people are losing, the more I want to understand it! Why are some of us experiencing such slow weight losses while others are losing at very fast rates? I suspect some things factor in, like original weight at time of surgery, age, gender, metabolism, and whether or not we're are following the protocol to the letter -- how much exercise we're doing, how much protein and fluids we're getting in, etc. The researcher in me wants to understand this so that we could all feel better about our progress!!! Take care, sweetie. You're doing fine. Maureen (P.S. I'm seeing my doctor today for my 1 month check-up and am DREADING the scale.)

I know I have wondered that same thing. I wish we could really get an acrute research. The people I have noticed that has lost weight fast are the ones that had some problems in the beginning with their surgeries. I have had no problems at all I am blessed I came out of it great and I know God is going to Bless me even more it will just take some time... Sarah T

That is great. I am 3 weeks out and have only lost 10. Keep up whatever you are doing.

If you read the top of this thread you will see what I have been doing. You will lose weight fast real soon. I will pray for you. Sarah T
