Glad for all of you but damn..I am 3 weeks out and only lost 13 pounds... and til now i was happy about that..  Whatever... Gotta keep the faith..I am not cheating at anything so eventually will turn...Still 13 pounds in 3 weeks is awesome compared to prior to the surgery.  


yep..we are all different!  And i did great on the pre op so that might be a factor...off to the gym..

Wow six weeks of clrear liquids is CRAZY! I don't like your doc for that one...

Also, what's his deal with acted mad cause of your weight loss? The D-bag still got paid so what does he care...everyone's journey is DIFFERENT...he should be the first person to realize that...

I went to my ONE month and only lost 1.5 pounds in THREE WEEKS...that's it and my surgeon was so incredibly encouraging. He said to keep my head up and the weight will come off and to not worry cause my body is in shock and that it's trying desperately to hold on to everything...i'd have cussed him out if he would've been rude. I already feel horrible as it was only seeing a pound difference!!!

You're doing fine, don't let him bother you. He needs to learn some bed side manner and check his attitude at the door!!

Good luck on your journey!

Tomorrow i will be 4 weeks out.  I've officially lost 28 lbs since my pre-op weight.  I was told by my NUT today that the average for them is 20lbs. 

I am grateful to be progressed as of today to beyond puree - and had some flaky fish for dinner.  chew chew chew.

Best of luck on your 3 more weeks of liquids - your recovery is worth it!

I think 25lbs is great for 3 weeks.  We're all different, depending on starting weight, sex, etc, but 25 is great for anyone!

 Wow your 25 lb loss sounds great to me.  I'm sorry about the liquids for so long though.  I had my lap band on 11/20 and am on soft foods.  I don't seem to have a problem eating anything.  Unfortunately, I guess I'm still eating too much.  When I started the process I was 292 and after a two week liquid diet I was at 289 when I went in for the surgery.  So it's now been 19 days and I'm only down to 277 I've been as low as 275, but it changes daily.  I've been walking on the treadmill almost every day.  Today I did slightly over 2 miles, but usually average 1 1/2 to 1 3/4.  I generally walk at about 3 miles per hour at a 2% incline.  I'm trying to add a little bit everyday, but some days I'm just too beat and my feet hurt too much to walk.  I start on regular foods in a couple of days, but I don't expect that to be too different than I've already been doing.
