Question:
Am I losing fast enough?

I have lost 37 pds in 6 weeks and I need to know if I am loosing to slow? I don't feel like I'm loosing much weight because all my clothes fit just fine and I've only lost 37 pds in 6 weeks. I am scared that I am not going to loose any more weight. I really feel like I have gained weight in the last week because the third week that I came home all my shoes had begin to fit that had gottem to little and now they seem to be to little again. I had the DS surgery and I was just wondering is it possible to gain weight at this point?    — TANGIE B. (posted on January 15, 2001)

I think you loss is great!! I'm almost 3 months post op and I think the same thing pretty much daily. I also plateau every couple of weeks, and have found that to be terribly frustrating. Anyway, as far as gaining and the tightness of your shoes, is it possibly PMS time?? Could you be retaining water?? If not, how about your salt consumption. I know a lot of people start off their solids on crackers, pretzles things of that sort that have quite a bit of sodium, which will also make you retain water. Just keep an eye on those things and give it a little time. I actually haven't noticed any change in the size of my feet, and I just had them remeasured yesterday...they are exactly the same, and I am now down 58lbs.
