Not losing enough

I am 6 months out and have lost 75lbs.

My mind keeps telling me I am not losing enough. It consumes me.

Am I losing enough? Is it just in my head? Did you struggle with this?

My center told me 10 lbs a month should be our goal. So you are ahead of the game. Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

An average rate of loss seems to be 50% of excess weight lost by the six month mark. Looking at your ticker, it looks like you are right on track.

You can also check the OH Post-Op Planner to see what it predicts. It was very accurate for my loss.

You are on target. Is your eating? Anything creep in that you don't like. You have another 6+ months of rapid weight loss. Make it count!

I haven't seen you posting. Would it help to post in the menu thread? Maybe make you feel like you are on the right track.

sounds about right- I lost slowly and consistently - didn't allow non plan foods in until I was way below goal.

There are so many variables. Not sure how much you have to lose but 75lbs sounds fine.

Just keep plugging away.

Are you seeing a therapist to discuss your weight loss insecurities? If not, that might be helpful. Good luck.

Yes, I made an appointment for July 6th with my clinics therapist. Hopefully it helps.
