I am very proud of my progress.  I might not be dropping weight like crazy but I am feeling better and I very happy of the decision I made and for my surgery a month ago.  I am also extremely happy that I am losing inches in my upper body since I am bigger on the top.

 I think your weight loss is going splendidly!  You have areadly lost a huge percentage of your EWL.  Awesome!

 You are losing faster than me!  One month out tomorrow and I'm only down 20 lbs!

 You are NOT a slow loser.  I'm a month post op as of yesterday and have only lost 16lbs. BUT that averages 4lbs a week so i'm not complaining.  I have lost 11 total inches on my body tho!  Keep on Keeping on. thats what I'm doing!

Um... you've lost 34 pounds in one month, and you think that's slow? At three months out, my average loss per month is about 17 pounds. See my sig if you want the month-by-month play. You're doing fantastic! Just know that at some point, it probably will slow some, but that when it does, it'll be completely normal and you'll still be doing great (as long as you're following your dr's instructions).
