Okay, I am getting so frustrated...I've only lost 3 lbs in a week. I am going to the gym everyday and eating what I am suppose to be eating. What am I doing wrong?? Has this happen to anyone else with gastric?

Hey Nanc!

I was told we would lose an ~average~ of 3-5 lbs a week at the beginning. So it seems you're right on target! No worries!

Keep in mind that you may be losing the fat and gaining some great muscle tone! That's not so bad considering, in the long run, it'll help you lose more weight, more quickly than if you don't work that body.

You're doing great! I wish I was back to losing 3 lbs a wee****ep it going! I'm proud of ya!

BTW, have you seen your nutritionist since your surgery? What does he/she say?

Hey Jules...Thanks! I have seen my nutritionist and she really didnt say anything about my weight. We mostly talked about eating different foods.  I didnt know it was an average of 3.5 lbs per week...thats good to know. 
Thanks for all your help.

I had gastric by-pass on Oct. 27th. I only lost 1 pound this past week. I am really disappointed. But, I was told it might be because, I too, have been doing a lot of exercises. I completely understand how you feel. However, I said to myself that every one pound counts.
