Slow Loss?

I went to my dr on the 29th and he said that the 81 lbs that I've lost since surgery was kinda slow. I was thinking, hmm?? I wonder when the last time I lost 81 lbs in a little over 4 months? Does anyone else agree that it's kinda slow? Be honest!!

On 3/29 (my four month anniversary) I had lost 76 lbs since surgery... which means you're 2 weeks & 5 lbs ahead of me. My doctor said my weight loss was -fantastic- and you're right in line with me, so I don't agree with your doctor, and you shouldn't either. You are averaging slightly less than 20 lbs a month, which is a really great number. Be proud of yourself, and keep doing what you're doing! (Well, except for second guessing your accomplishments, that is!)

I saw my doctor last week and weighed in at 65 lbs since 11/17/05. He was very pleased and said that I have been a text book case so far! I think you're doing great!! I wouldn't listen to that particular opinion of your doctor --Dana

Thats a good one! Your DR I guess would call me a failure at -65 in the same time... it's all good cuz I feel great. I think you have done an amazing job! 81 lbs in 4 months... Hugs Angel J LOS

Hey Christina - Ive lost 67 pounds since Nov. 9th and my surgeon has been happy. Ive looked at tons of profiles and everyone in November is pretty much close in averages of weight loss. I cant imagine he isnt happy with 81 pounds. My surgeon also reminded me the weight loss would slow down - and it has.... just keep up what your doing and dont be discouraged. Holly

I've lost 75 pounds in the same amount of time I think 81 is great. I wish I was at 81 too. I can't believe your docto said that. Like you said when was the last time you lost 81 pounds in 4 months. Betty

I went to my doctor on the 28th....Looks like I'm losing slower than I'm supposed to. I lost 55 pounds and need to lose 30 more by my 6th month check up. My surgery was Nov. 21.......my doc would be thrilled with you.

I had surgery Nov. 1 06 and i have lost 72 lb and i have been stalled for about 3 weeks. I thought that was a good loss.. hope my Dr. thinks so . Carla

I'm glad to hear that everyone disagrees with the dr! His disapproval made me a little worried that I wasn't doing something right even though I do everything by the book. I was thinking that maybe he had a larger number set in his mind because that's what he "thought" that I would lose? Hmm? Oh well, at least I know that I am on target for the other losers in my surgery month. Thanks y'all for your support! I wouldn't know what to do without being able to come here and ask questions!

I've lost 70 lbs since 11/7/05. I thought it was kinda slow but would have loved to have lost 81 by now! I lost 24 lbs before surgery so for a total of 94 lbs since last august I am stoaked! I think 81 lbs is great. Keep up the great work! Janna
