Topic: RE: Anyone frustrated with slow weight loss???
I was frustrated with my weight loss. I went to my doctor to get my 2nd "fill" and discovered that I hadn't lost ANY weight. I had my surgery on 12-26-07 and have lost 20 pounds.
Things are changing now that I have had my 2nd fill. Everyone hits plateaus! Mine lasted one month!

Ya know what made it more realistic for me about just HOW MUCH 38lbs is ... when I pick up my daughter. She weighs less than 38lbs and to feel how "heavy" she is (she's only 3 and weighs about 31lbs). I looked at my husband yesterday and said ... do you realize how heavy she feels ... I've lost MORE than that!
Its really hard to visualize how much we've lost ... but try to lift 41lbs ... its a lot more realistic ... it was for me anyway

I am doing really well. I have very little trouble with food. Today I did my 10 week weigh in.......at 8 weeks I had lost 41. At 10 weeks, I have lost 47. I honestly don't feel like I have lost that much. When I see others say they have lost 40 lbs. I am thinking wow, that is a lot. I just have such a strong feeling that I am not where I am supposed to be or that my surgery isn't working. I hardly ever throw up. I feel like I can eat more than I should. I stop myself when it looks like I have eaten a certain amount. But to say that I feel really full, nope. I am glad to see others post their progress, because it shows me that we are about on the same pace. I wish you all the best.

I understand your frustration. My weight loss goes along at great for about 2 or 3 weeks and then 2 or 3 weeks NOTHING. I drink at LEAST 64 oz. of water /day. My calorie intake is 500-750/day. A few weeks ago I upped my protein intake during a stall and that seemed to jumpstart my losing again.

I'm honestly happy that I'm losing it at a "slow" pace in comparison to others. It is definitely giving me a chance to tone as I go. Also, I think being a "light weight" makes it come off slower in comparison to someone who has a higher BMI.
who would have ever thought 38lbs in 8 weeks would be considered slow? Or that being 100lbs overweight would make us lightweights??? lol
