That's very normal...in fact don't be surprised if you stall out soon. Just remember your weight stalls to let your body catch up. Just stick with your diet and do NOT weigh anymore frequently than once a week.

Being scared is totally normal! Wishing you the best of luck with your journey!

Hey guys, I am 2 months post op and have lost a total of 45 lbs. The first 30 lbs came off in one month and this past month I've lost the other 15. Is it normal for the weight loss to slow down like this? My diet and Fluid intake is good, so I'm just curious! Thanks

As soon as I hit six months, I went from several pounds a week to a few grams a month.

Mine is the same way too honey! I keep telling myself slow and steady wins the race! I lost 30lbs in the first month and average 1 lb to 2 lbs a week.

Of course! You weren't really expecting to lose 30 pounds a month were you? That wouldn't be very healthy!
Weight loss normalizes to 2-5 pounds a week after your initial large losses. Sounds to me like you've done just phenomenal so far!

I am in line with the other "slow pokes" sleeved Dec 8. 5'11" and just a smidgen under 250 on surgery day, and 221.8 on last scale, so 28-ish pounds gone.
Work folks are seeing a change. It is more than 10% of my body weight gone. That's not nothing. I saw no change on the scale for the last 10 days, but I did feel it in my pants. The muffin tops are melting.
I'm getting enough Protein and I'm improving on Water intake, but its constantly reminding myself to drink.
What I'm eating now is not what I thought I would be. eggs and beef are not good. Fish is great. And undercooked goes down better than well done. 900 calories a day is what I'm getting.
And I'm drunk on half a glass of wine. That's new. And I mean DrUnK.

Hi, all! I was sleeved 12/14. HW 310?, SW 255, CW 230. I felt like it has been slow, but it seems like we are all plugging along around this rate.
I've been struggling a little with trying to continue Protein shakes. Really kind of over them, but love the Protein bang for the buck they offer.
Tonight, I had a piece of cod and some veggies.
I found Enlightened ice cream bars today. 80 calories and 7g protein. On their website, they also have broad bean crisps. That sounds intriguing. I crave crunchy/salty, but trying not to do too many nuts. I did buy some Quest chips, but meh.

I was sleeved on 12/8 and have lost 40 lbs. The first 30 lbs came off so fast and then i stalled and have slowly lost 10 more. I'm guessing this is normal, I'm not sure! I am doing great with Water intake but not so much with Protein. I cannot drink the shakes, they make me sick. I'm trying to get most of my Protein from food but its hard being that i can only eat a small amount.
Glad to hear everyone is doing good! Keep up the good work!!!!!

I feel like I'm in the same boat, but I haven't had the best discipline post-op.
One thing I've been doing is tracking measurements in addition to weight, and sometimes that is even more encouraging. It seems like the the weeks where I lose inches are not the same weeks where I see a larger weight loss.

As a Newbie, I think your comment is quite harsh. I have not even had surgery yet, but looking at the forum so I know what to expect.
Please consider that Newbies are just that, NEW. Not everyone has the hang of this site yet, and searching is very very difficult on mobile. I've been watching this forum for a year, and have not even seen a section for stall.
Being rude, is not helpful to anyone.

Day 13: I pooped. Normal. Not painful. Just a run of the mill poo. The tummy no longer rumbles like a volcano. The bites of mush I had today stayed down. The pain I still have is relieved by two Tylonol. The wounds are all red welts now, not scabby or open. I even went swimming. I judge if I'm getting enough liquids by counting the times I say to myself, oh I gotta pee. I think the worst is behind me, and the best is ahead. So endith day 13.

Clearly your bad experience is the result of everyone but you. Funny that, I have never had one bad conversation here. I guess its all in your perspective.

Oh no Tera, hang in there it's going to get better! I haven't had any issues with my stomach rejecting food but every time I take a Vitamin or drink a Protein Shake my stomach gives it right back to me. Not quite sure what to do, I'm just drinking a ton of water!

I had the surgery for things other than just the weight loss.
I seldom went to bars before surgery. When I looked at the menus, most of the foods are fried. I was asking so that I can prepare myself and make better choices. That's not setting myself up for failure; it's setting myself up to make the right choice with some advice from others.

I'm 28 and was sleeved on 9/30. I'm 5'0 and started at 204 lbs. I'm down to 169 as of this morning so I haven't lost enough to have any loose skin. My journey was a complete emotional rollercoaster for the first 2-3 weeks after surgery. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or need to talk about anything! Good luck!

Hey! I'm 28 as well, had surgery on 12/8/15! How are you feeling?! Any tips?!

I'm tomorrow morning at 7 am, so I have to be there by 5 am! Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow, saying prayers all around! We can do this!

Anyone had surgery with Dr Hausmann!! I am starting my journey on Sept 16th.. I meet with him for my first consult! My primary care is behind me 100% just wish insurance would be too! I am going to be a self pay at The Women Hospital! Just wondering any advice anyone could give on him! Bed side manor, result, etc. just some thoughts!! Today is my first day smoke free and I and hoping for the first of the year for my surgery just due to not having anymore sick leave at work!! Thanks for any thoughts!!

Thank you so much for all of your responses, it's comforting to know that I am not the only one who has had these thoughts and feelings. I am still very excited and ready for this new beginning and I know in the long run it will be a great decision.
Thanks again, it really means a lot and I'm glad to have people who understand where I'm coming from to talk to!!
