Are any of you frustrated with the amount of weight you have lost so far? It's seems like every one I see that has had surgery June 2009 (or even July and August) is already under 200 pounds. I am stuck at 212lbs! I'm trying to be more active through out my day, but going to the gym on a regularly basis is unrealistic for my life. I try to be careful with what I eat. But still, no improvement. I even a gain a pound or two some days! Anybody else going through this?

I had surgery on 6/11.  My weight lose has also been slow but mainly because two weeks after surgery I developed a leak which required another surgery (open) as well as a month in the hospital plus  4 months of being feed via a feeding tube.  After a couple of weeks he did allow me to have a few ice chips.  

You would have thought I would have lost a lot of weight but instead gained back what I had lost the 1^st two weeks. They were giving me over 2100 calories/100 grams of protein a day.  

All my complications are behind me now however I worry that I missed the rapid weight lose most people experience in the beginning but I have lost 48 lbs as of 12/23.   

I hope to lose at least 7 lbs by my next appt on 1/11.  This would put my BMI in the overweight range.
