Hang in there - mine has come off very slowly, too. I was about the same place as you at 6 weeks. I have NEVER lost more than 3 lbs in a week, and usually it's less. And, this early out, your body is still recouperating from surgery and stalling a lot. If you keep following the plan, it has to come off (that's what I tell myself too LOL). You're doing great!

Everyone loses at different rates and there will be stalls...it is frustrating sometimes but it will work... just keep following the plan and like Rosemary says call your doc if you're concerned. Protien is so important and make sure you're drinking enough!

thanks. i was making my own protein shakes with dry milk and 1%milk. so i don't think that was enough protein. so today i went out and bought protein powder that has more grams and calories. i'm crossing my fingers that this will help. :)

my camera man was at school LOL, he said thanks for asking. I am thinking about calling my doctor but I just did I think last week or week before and they said to be patient and that i was only 1 month out. maybe i'll call again next week. i'm going to set an appt with my nutrionist and see if what im doing is ok.

Thanks for your support :)

Hey where's your camera man? Well it must be hard for you to have come so far and have these small losses. I wish I knew something that would help you. I agree with Rose that you should call your doctor sooner and discuss your concerns. Good luck Ill be watching you. Garry
