If you are in your 6th week, how are you doing?My scale is not moving

I can completely identify. I have lost 48 pounds but please understand I lost 20 pounds the very first week! (made me sick and ended up in the hospital dehydrated, exhaustion, big time high blood pressure etc...) The other 28 pounds took 2 months to come off! I was just recently stuck on an 18 day plateau. I had snacked "using that lightly" on tortilla chips I totally cut them out and seriously upped my protein to 80 a day. That seemed to kick start the loss...plus I have been a little more active. I weighed myself and for the 1st time in 18 days I lost 4 pounds!!! It will happen for you dont worry and just remember they are pounds gone forever!!! woo hoo! Our bodies are going through major changes so it takes time for the body to adjust. It will happen for you try not to get too discouraged! We're here for ya! Best wishes! Elizabeth M -48lbs!

i'm 6 weeks out too and i got weighed 1 week ago and was down 40 pounds. i drink lots of water and protein shakes and eat 1 meal of food a day.

Count me in as a slow loser, too. I've lost 27 pounds since my surgery on 3/29/04. Sigh. -Marcie

I must be a fast loser then, today is week 7 andI am down 89 lbs, everyone is doing wonderful though.

I feel the same way. I had my surgery on the same day and it seems like I lost weight initially,but nothing since. I am very disappointed. I hope I am having some type of wierd reaction. They say not to worry,the weight will come off. I don't know,I have not lost anything past 4 weeks out. Let me know what happens,and if you start losing.This would be encouraging for me. Good luck and stay well Joann.
