Not losing enough

I am 6 months out and have lost 75lbs.

My mind keeps telling me I am not losing enough. It consumes me.

Am I losing enough? Is it just in my head? Did you struggle with this?

My center told me 10 lbs a month should be our goal. So you are ahead of the game. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

An average rate of loss seems to be 50% of excess weight lost by the six month mark. Looking at your ticker, it looks like you are right on track.

You can also check the OH Post-Op Planner to see what it predicts. It was very accurate for my loss.

that's exactly where I was at six months out....down 75 lbs since surgery.

You are on target. Is your eating? Anything creep in that you don't like. You have another 6+ months of rapid weight loss. Make it count!

I haven't seen you posting. Would it help to post in the menu thread? Maybe make you feel like you are on the right track.

sounds about right- I lost slowly and consistently - didn't allow non plan foods in until I was way below goal.

There are so many variables. Not sure how much you have to lose but 75lbs sounds fine.

Just keep plugging away.

Thank you for the answers everyone. I feel a little better

Are you seeing a therapist to discuss your weight loss insecurities? If not, that might be helpful. Good luck.

Yes, I made an appointment for July 6th with my clinics therapist. Hopefully it helps.
