i lost 20 pds in 2 weeks but now im losing less

hi i had my surgery on oct 24 2006 the first 2 weeks i lost 20 pds. but now that im actually eating things other than liquids ive only lost this week 3 pds. is that common?

did you have the Lap band???? or Bypass

i had the gastric bypass

you r doing just fine. every week will be different. just follow the instructions from your doc. keep up the good work and welcome to the losing side. hugs, jacki

thank you for your kind reply....its just a little stressful....i know people that have lost weight faster then me.

Oh not to worry. Keep following your surgeon and nutritionist recommendations. I was the same then one day I go on the scale and was down 8lbs. I did my daily protein, protein drinks and other liquids. 8wks out and 54lbs gone. Be patient you'll begin to see the scale moving.

if u dont mind me asking what kinds of food are you consuming well???? as far as protein and meat wise?

My favorite protein drink is Designer Whey-Vanilla. My new pouch likes grilled/bake salmon and tilipia, tuna, black beans, hummus, sometimes eggs peanut butter, bake chicken. At least once or twice a wee****ep queazy/nausuea(sp). I do not do cheese or chili well causes me to dump.
