Congrats on your weight loss. I am also IMPATIENT. I have to say I obsessed with weighing during my first 6 weeks. I am 9 weeks post op and am down 48 lbs. I have had 2 stalls already one from week 3 to week 5 and another week 6 for 2 1/2 weeks. Those were frustrating beyond belief. I now think that in a months time I lost 28 lbs and at 2 months I was down 43 lbs. It was the inches that WOWed me. I lost 38 inches in 9 weeks. When else could I lose 48lbs and 38 inches in 9 weeks?

So ask yourself when else would you have lost 26 lbs in 27 days????

Keep your head up you are doing amazing!

Wow, that's great! I'm impatient too! I guess it's different for everyone, but it sounds like you are doing great!

That's a pound a day! Congrats! Don't be cruel to yourself by comparing. You are right on track. Instead of worrying and comparing try celebrating every pound you no longer have to carry around and focus on living and enjoying your life!

My new surgeon says they hope to see a loss of 75% of the excess body weight for all their patients but that is only an estimate. Many of us go way beyond that statistic though.

I'm thrilled with the loss ~ it's been my best to date. Trust me, if tried every diet out there before this surgery.
I'm trying very had not to weigh often - I know me, I'll get fixated on it. Just a tad OCD. LOL
I wish my knee was doing better - I'm frustrated that I can't walk and exercise more.
Exercise bike, playing Wii w/ the hubby, running steps 40 times a day at work ... that's about my exercise.
We all deserve kudos ~ Thanks for the encouraging words!

I had surgery on Nov 1st and still have'nt steeped on the scale. I think I'm a little afraid that I'll be disappointed in the number so I'll wait till my Dr apt on Fri...
I'm just looking forward to feeling normal again and sleeping in my bed !

Your doing great :-) I know easyer said then done but don't compare yourself to others. Focus on your own journey :-) and if your doctors are saying your doing great that is awesome :-) I keep my scale at my moms house.... I've seen to many people on here become obsessed with the scale and I didn't want it to happen to me. I know there has been times I'm not loosing pounds but deffently inches. Keep up the great work :-)

You are doing great! You really can't compare yourself to others. Alot depends on how much a person weighs with to begin with and how much they need to loose. The larger the person is, the faster they loose it. Also as you get smaller the losses are smaller each week. I lost 47 pounds pre op from 2/1-6/11/12 and since sleeve surgery on 6/11/12 I have lost 58 pounds for a total lost of 105 pounds. I usually loose 2 pounds a week. This week I haven't lost anything yet but last week I lost twice in one week for almost 3 pounds lost last week. Just stick with your program and it will happen. It is hard not to be impaitent but remember WLS is a life journey and not just a 6 month or year journey!
Good luck!

Congratulations on the weight loss! I think you are right where you should be. I also have a bad knee so exercising has been tough. Best wishes for you. debby
