Weight loss after 4 weeks

I saw my surgeon today for my 4week check up.  I have only lost another 4 pounds since surgery.  The surgeon attributed to all the insulin that I was previously on.  He reported that diabetics may start out with slow weight loss.  I'd like to hear from other diabetics.

dont compare yourself to others. Everyone looses at a different rate. Diabetics  do have a harder time of it, cause we r insulin resistant. there are other factors also. if u r a light weight ,less  then 100lbs to loose, post menopausal and if u r over 50 ur weight loss will be slower. mine was  slow at first but I m still loosing aftere 3 1/2 years not a lot now maybe  1lb every couple months but it is better then a weight gain, stay away from carbs,, white bread, rice ,pasta & potatoes.

Good Luck to you
Susan

Thanks Susan.  I just got discouraged because I heard others talking about their losses and I didn't seem to be moving.  Right after that I lost 7 lbs so I am encouraged again.  Looking for some high protein meals for a really picky eater. Any suggestions.
