7 weeks out, and still my weight hasn't changed that much.

Surgery was June 20th, I was 264 that day. I am 250 today. While it is a loss, I am thinking something is wrong. I've been walking every day to catch Pokemon, and to hatch eggs, so I am out over 3-4 hours a day just walking around parks or wherever. I need to drink more water while I am at home, but I just don't see how Im one of the only ones who hasn't lost a huge amount in 7 weeks. Gimme some encouragement guys, I need it. 

Here's the thing: 14 pounds in 7 weeks is still 2 pounds per week. I assume you're on mushy food? What's a daily menu look like? 

Well I'm on "semi" normal foods. I can't eat the tough stuff, but from week 6 on out, I was able to eat regularly. I can't tolerate it that well. 3 or 4 bites of chicken is hard to get down unless I drown it in some type of condiment. But other than most meats, I can eat eggs, cheeses, protein bars, pretty much anything as long as it isn't too dry. 

Unless you're sucking down DQ Blizzards, you pretty much can't physically take in enough calories right now to gain weight.  Keep to your plan and you'll be fine.  Don't compare yourself to others.  You'll only end up frustrated.

LOL, def not sucking down Blizzards! I know it's still going down, I just wonder why mine isn't the "normal/average" loss lol.

I know exactly how frustrated you are !!! I'm in my 4 th month with a loss of 26 lbs . I don't know what to say to help just wanted to say your not alone . My scale moves faithfully at 1 lb per week . I'm not sure what's the problem but your not alone !

Mine doesn't do that, lol. Most days it stays the same, then it'll hop down a pound. lol

You will never lose more weight more quickly than you will this year.

Calm down and start drinking your water!

Take your measurements - you may be losing inches!  

Try not to obsess - you will lose if you are on plan but you must drink water, tea, crystal light whatever it takes to flush your system.  Critical.  Keep your protein high and know that we've all worried that our surgery wasn't going to work.  That's we'd be the odd one out who doesn't lose a significant amount.  

You'll be fine - it isn't a race.  As long as you get there in the big picture these few weeks are just a blip on your radar.  Promise!!
