I am 6 weeks out and down 25 pounds I wanted it to go a little faster as well but we have to be patient .....

I am almost 8 weeks out. Last week, I lost only two pounds. I was bummed. My first week that I didn't lose more than 4 pounds. but you know what? I might have only lost two pounds, but I lost FOUR inches in my waist!!! So, don't let the scale have that much power over you. Even though you aren't losing pounds as fast as you want, you may be losing inches!!

meledl,
Do NOT be discouraged at all!!! I only lost a few pounds right after surgery too; but, I kept losing steadily (sometimes 1 lb/wk, sometimes 4 lb/wk, sometimes no change!) but, overall...I have lost 75 pounds and am at my (1st) goal weight, at a year-and-a-half out! I think I have less sagging skin and other signs of "dramatic" weight loss than many people I have seen.
Make sure to get Protein, Vitamins, Water. Follow doctor's orders - which they usually don't care if you lose for 3-6 months while you're healing....the weight will come off. Slow and steady wins the race!!!! LOL

You will never have an average weight loss every week. Like said above, it may be 1 lb, 3 lbs, or none. I remember in the beginning that I had a stall for almost 3 weeks. I wasnt getting enough calories and I think my body thought I was in starvation mode. The important thing is get your Protein in, Water and follow Drs instructions. It will come off. Sometimes you are losing inches instead of weight. Take your measurements to follow that too. Enjoy the ride. I am starting to run out of clothes. Lol

I am also slow on the weight loss.. but I've noticed that I am losing inches. Don't get on the scale everyday. . The weight will come off. Best of luck

I'm experiencing the exact same issue at 7 weeks out. You're only 2 weeks out which means you're probably still retaining IV fluids & air from surgery. The 1st month I lost 13.5 lbs. So far the last month I've only lost 3 lbs. I know that it will happen for me eventually & it will for you. Try only weighing once a month to keep from driving yourself crazy. Just like someone said earlier, slow and steady wins the race.

I am 4 months out and lost slowly since the start. But it's still coming off. Slowly but surely. That's what is important. It took me years to get the size I was so I'm okay with it being slow.

It's been very slow for me even though I can't eat but 2 to 4oz every 6 hours or I will throw-up. I wonder if my pouch will ever heal? I'm so tried of throwing up.
