Am I doing ok or am I just a slow loser?

Thanks guys you're all great! It's good to hear how everyones does, I know we are all different, but it's good to have such wonderful help!

Hey Snip, I bet 2# a week is just fine! I had the DS so I lost a bit more but malabsorption was a factor as well for me. Such wonderful things lay ahead for you I will hope to follow your progress these next few months. Good Luck ......Jeff

Thanks Jeff!

I had RNY and only lost 23lbs when by the time I was a month out......I have malabsorption too.....Sounds like you are doing fantastic to me!  I would increase your walking to EVERYDAY.  That was one thing my program pushed for an exercise goal......30 minutes of walking everyday!  I think that helped with burning some extra calories and helped increase my weightloss as well.  Keep up the great work!

2 lbs per week is GREAT! Don't sell yourself short...you are doing wonderful. My Dr had me taking a heartburn pill in the am and close to dinner time, he said with our surgery even though the box says one in 24 hours we can take 2 a day. It helped like crazy in the early stages for me. Now I only take 1 every now and then, when I eat certain foods. Keep working it...proud of you!

Thanks Heather and LouLou!

Sherry- Remember 2lbs per week is 104 pounds in a year!!!  I too have hit kinda a wall.  I have lost 18 pounds now for the past several days havn't lost any and some days am up a bit .4 pounds or so (up down up down) it is like the scale is doing push ups or something.  You have lost a ton for one month and we are both doing just fine my sleeve sista.  Sharon

You are loosing at a great rate. Just keep in mind that you do not have as much to loose as others like me. When you have more you can loose more. Also, I go thru phases where I loose inches and the next week I might loose weight. Keep in mind that it is only a tool not a magic wand to make the weight vanish. Love ya and keep up the hard work. It will pay off.

I am so glad u posted this bc I am exactly the same!! I hear all tehse weird noiss and am not sur what my body is saying....i try to up my protein but its hard to eat during the day. so im ating only like 200 calories but loosing slow. Weird how that can even happen! I think im going to up my protein and see if i cant speed up my weight loss. :-)

Hi Drew! Good to see you!
