Lost Four Pounds This Week

I have not lost 4lbs in one week since I had the surgery ! What am I doing wrong ? I have lost 32 lbs since 07/08/2005 thats about 2 lbs per week. . What is the average after surgery ?

Are you still losing? If you're still losing then I wouldn't be concerned. You can increase your water and protein intake(if your pouch will let you), and exercise is always a good thing. The posts you're reading here are of people who are close to a year out and are suffering from stalls (no weight loss at all for more than a month or two), and/or just plain ole backsliding. We're trying to get back on the weight loss track. You sound like you're still chugging along! You're doing great, hon! Just keep up the good work! Grace

That is about the pace I lost at too... I think I lost 20 lb the first month and then 10 the second.... anyway, I am out 11 1/2 months and am down 95 lbs. (not the fastest but still "slow and steady".) Hang in there, Karen

Hi Grace It's official! THE SCALE HAS FINALLY BEGUN TO MOVE AGAIN! According to the scale this morning I am happy to report that I am now -5 lbs. Wahoooooooo! Now if I can just do another 10 lbs. I will have reached MY goal. Now that I know I CAN do it if I put my mind to it and use fit day everyday I will not have a problem (I hope). Anyway, congrats to you too on your success this week. I am looking forward to posting again next week, and hopefully it will be another 5 lbs. What day are we going to make our official weigh in day???? Hugs & Big Thank yous!

Marianne Gret job!! Post your secrets for the rest of us you have done great. Besides my coffee I am going total protein. I go for my one year check up Oct. 7 so that gives me two more weeks past my year mark to make my official weigh in. Is that cheating? I hope not cause I need the extra two weeks. Yeah for Marianne Tina

YAY! I'm going to weigh myself again next Monday, though I know I'll accidentally stand on the scale at least once before then. Grace

Sounds like a scrumptious breakfast. As much as I love breakfast foods, I still cant eat them till later in the day so breakfast for me is lunch. I do drink loads of water and a dutch chocolate protein shake with fatfree milk, a banana and a tsp of lowcarb peanut butter from 6-9am each day. I find when I stop losing for weeks that I need to eat more! I exercise 4 times weekly. I am scared though about having to miss the exercise for 4-6 weeks after my upcoming abdomnioplasty. ULGH! I am one year postop tomorrow. YEAH! Leslie 312/165now/170was goal **still need a new pic, is that me?????

My breakfast starts pretty late, too. I wish I could commit to exercising that often, but it's just not in me. Congrats to you on that one! Grace
