I'm only a couple of weeks ahead of you and only weighed a little less

than you did pre-op. I had the exact same problem. It was compounded

by having a friend who had the surgery a year earlier tell me I would

automatically lose 30 lbs in 30 days. Boy did that not happen for

me!!I was feeling like a failure. And I knew I was hardly taking in

any calories at all.

My doctor told me even though my start was slow, I was still " on the

curve " and was doing fine.

The other point is that a lot of people start out with much more

weight to lose, therefore their loss is greater.

The good news is the weight loss kicked back in again and as of

Wednesday I'd lost 35 lbs.

had my surgery on 4/22 and started at 281. today i am at 253 its been

7 weeks and it seems for the last week or 2 i havent really lost i

actually have gained and lost the same 2-3 pounds. i am taking in

about 500-600 calories a day and i am exercising some each day usually

doing a walk away the pounds dvd for 1 to1 1/2 miles. i am getting in

about 60 oz of water and eating about 60 grams of protein on the avg.

at a web site i go to some seem to think i need more calories. i have

been trying to reach the nutritionist at my dr office but she hasnt

called me back yet so just thought i would try and get some opinions

from people that have been there!
