While I think I'm doing well, my doc said I should have already lost 10 more pounds. Kinda a bummer...Plus he said I shouldn't have stalled at all the first 6 weeks. Is this true?

Honestly, I don't see how a doctor can make such a statement. Based on your ticker, you are down 38 pounds... that's awesome! And so many of us do stall somewhere in the first month, I disagree with him on the idea that you shouldn't have stalled as well.

Keep your head up and keep going! Onward and downward

Everybody just about that I know stalled around 3 or 4 weeks. And everybody loses at different rates, so I don't know how he can say that.

Everyone is different on how much and when they lose. I personally hit the 3 week stall and had a gain during that time. Just keep doing what you are supposed to do and you will be fine. I think you are doing great btw!

Well, I've been sleeved almost twice as long as you have. Since my sleeve, I've only lost 35 lbs. I think you're doing great!!

I know who your doctor is and I have the most respect for him, but I think his goals, from talking to others, are unrealistic - especially for females. He gives the same talk to everyone the first several visits. You're fine. Either that or everyone else (and nearly EVERYONE else stalls at 3 weeks) is doing it wrong. LOL
