Same here. I was all over the place.
Don't forget, "only 15 lbs" is a lot of weight. Also, in the month or so after surgery, your body is in shock. It's trying to catch up. It doesn't know what it hit it. There is typically a stall at around 3 weeks and it is quite discouraging if you don't know it's going to happen.
Just remember, this is a marathon not a sprint. And yes, everybody is different. Everybody loses at different rates. What is normal? Normal is what is normal for you. :)

On average, I lost about 3lbs a week, but some weeks I lost 1 and other weeks I lost 5.
I just really tracked my monthly totals.

Hi everyone. I know everyone is different but in your personal experiences, how many pounds per week were you losing? I lost only 15 ponds on Optifast and I'm down another 13 pounds since the day of surgery. Is this normal? Should I be losing more? Please share your experiences. Thanks!
I go to the States all the time to get them but there's been a supply problem for about 6 months, I haven't been able to find anything except chocolate and vanilla at Walmart, Sam's club or target...and I bought my Sam's club membership specifically for it. Apparently you can order them online (ship to a post office store) but I haven't tried that yet. The cookies and cream was my favourite!

My boyfriend took me out for lunch to celebrate, we didn't do anything big, but it was still a treat. Because of our kids, we rarely get one on one time like that at a restaurant.
I have plans for things like that in the summer, starting with Wonderland!

Happy belated surgiversary. Did you do anything to celebrate? One of my surgiversaries I went ziplining because I finally could.

Good morning!
Busy day at work today since I've been training. It's both exhausting and makes the days go by really quickly.
QOTD: It will be a quiet weekend. I need new workout clothes, so I will go to Old Navy at some point. Otherwise, I am trying not to spend money since February was more expensive than planned.
I am one year out of surgery. My one year was February 27th.
Today's Meals:
B: Greek Yogurt
S: Protein Drink
L: Lasagna (I eat the meat and cheese and a tiny bit of noodle)
S: Crackers
S: Friday Pizza Night
I need to get more cheese and/peanut butter at work since my afternoon snack has no protein right now, but I don't think I will have time to step out today since I'm volunteering at my son's school at lunch time.
