SLOWLEY???? You call that slow! HA! LOL<br>That
averages out to more than 7 lbs a WEEK!!!!<br>I am 8 wks
post op and have only lost 36 lbs!!!! So…it all
depends on your starting weight. The heavier you are the
more you will lose at first. I started at 261 and am
now 225. <br><br>If you want to see photos…<br>go

amazed at the difference in 36 lbs!! I am
sure you can see it too on you! <br><br>Hang in there
and stay encouraged! Don’t worry…Be
Happy!<br><br>MIchelle

Dear Worried, not everyone is the same. I was
concerned that I wasnt losing fast enough but here is what
you have to consider. You have lost an average of 7
1/2 pounds a week. As long as your watching your
eating, exercising and drinking your fluids, then dont
worry. Im now losing at 2 pounds a week after 8 weeks.
It is still better then I ever could have done on my
own without surgery. Think positive, any weight loss
is a good loss.
