2 months out

Wow,  It's great to see the weight loss that everyone is experiencing although it makes me feel a little sad for myself.  I've only lost 27 pounds since surgery and I'm 2 months out.  Am I doing something wrong I wonder?  Why am I losing weight so slowly?  Hmm..

Our weight loss is just about the same. Mine might be just a tad bit slower then yours. My doctor seems to be pleased but boy it's sure discouraging when I see other peoples numbers plummet.

Looking on the bright side........ our numbers are not going up

I agree with the MeltingWoman.... to date I've lost 25lbs & I can't seem to fathom how the hell I can eat 600 calories in a day and not already be at goal (hehe) seriously - why is it coming off so slowly?

I'm impatient & I know that..... but I am losing & NOT GAINING so I have to be happy about something!

Keep in touch!

If you start out at a lower weight you don't lose as quickly. We'll all get there

I would agree, it depends on how much you have to lose.  We are losing and that is the main thing.  I bet you are losing inches though!!! 

That's why I quit putting my ticker up there, I am not losing as fast as most rnyers, but I'm smaller than I have been in YEARS so I'm still happy. I'll take it. I am so shocked at my size that I don't mind. I still can't believe I'm going to be smaller than this. It blows my mind.

I think it is great to see these posts.  I have felt the same way about not losing "as fast as other people" but we need to be realistic about it.  Some people are really fast and others are like us are losing "slower."..I'm 7 weeks out and have lost about 24.something...I'm averaging about 2 pounds a week... (if you look at my ticker it says something diff. because it was before liquid diet.)

I think it's good to show others that even though we have this amazing tool, its totally normal to lose at a rate that is not astronomical. 

I am almost 9 wks out and down 55 lbs... I stalled forever, it felt like! A friend of mine is 1 1/2 mos out and guess what, has already lost a HUNDRED! Of course he started at 450ish lbs... The more u have to lose the faster u lose.DOn't get discouraged. It will happen! Just make sure you are getting the protein in (I know its tough, I am not the best always either!)

I love watching the BMI drop and I have a weight loss chart/tracker on my iphone.It's cool to see it drop! I have a BMI of 32 now , it was exactly 40 pre-RNY...
