how much have you lost

i had surgery 5-9 ill be 7 weeks out in 2 days and ive lost 35 lbs im not complaing i just think im lossing slow i thought that i would be down 40-50 lbs by now i started at 418 the day of surgery. im now 383 i hpoe to at least be at the dr goal of 375 next week but i realy dont think its goting to happen. so where are you at in this journey?

Okay... common question coming. How many times BEFORE surgery when you were dieting had you lost 35lbs in six weeks? I know ... I hate it when people ask me that question too!! Everyone loses as different speeds. Are you drinking all of your water? Getting in all of your protien? Taking your vitamins? Working out? I was losing at what I thought to be a slow pace but over the past week it's picked up big time. I started the morning of surgery at 272 and this morning I was 230. So that's a total of 42lbs in six weeks. That being said, I'm drinking 100+oz of water a day, eating 60+ grams of protien a day, never missing a dose of vitamins, and I work out for 2 hours a day. Yes, 2 hours a day. I do a minimum of hour cardio and 45 - hour of weights. I also have a personal trainer. I'm maximizing this tool to the best of my ability because I'm scared that once my "honeymoon" phase is over I'll be SOL. I admit - I have NO appettite and there are days when I have to MAKE myself eat. Yesterday I had a bit of tuna for lunch and a couple slices of chicken breast around 11pm. I had to rely on protien shakes most of the day because I just couldn't eat.

preop consult october 2005 330 surgery day 5/2/06 304 8 weeks post op 268 down 36 since surgery, 62 total... best to you... Joe

4/26 Pre-op weight - 296 5/10 Date of surgery - 278 6/25 Today - 251 _______________________________________ Total of 45 lbs lost since 4/26 (2 months) Total of 27 lbs since 5/10 (6 weeks) I'm very happy with my stats because I never would have been able to lose this much this fast on my own. I know my tool is working! I wish everyone success with their own individual journey!
