Hi all. 6 week checkup and only down 20 lbs. I think this qualifies me as a slow loser.... At least I'm in good company!

Then I must be in the super slow category with 8 lbs in a month

Hi Janet I m in the same boat too......I haven't lost more than 1 lb in a week which makes 4 lbs a month.ask me how it feels!

Meg, 65 lbs lost is a big deal!!! Janet and Mom, y'all need tickers. : )

I'm in the club. Oh the frustration!

I am 8 weeks today and down 20 lbs... Was down 23 lbs and gained 3 lbs back. Plus 15 of those lbs were in the first 3 weeks prior to my first stall. I make my water and protein goals 90% of the time. I am trying my best to not to get discouraged. Will the weight eventually move faster or will it always be this slow??

Sometimes its easier to figure your percentage lost. How much do you need to lose to meet goal and what percentage of that have you lost. Everyone is different depending on how much weight they need to lose to meet goal.

Hi Ladies....i'm so glad I found y'all.....I'm Sharon and had my surgery Aug 2. I am so frustrated and discouraged and figured the first month would at least be a boost. I lost 12 pounds in the first 2 weeks and absolutely nothing for the last 9 days. I am having 60 g protein and averaging 5-600 calories, low fat and practically no sugar. I haven't begun to exercise yet, so I imagine that's to blame...still on full liquids to puree and am wondering what does it tale for my body to drop some of this.....started at 275 and now 263....any suggestions would be helpful....thanks....

Hi Sharon! Not to worry, you're having the three week stall... Almost everyone goes thru it.

You can search *three week stall* and finds loads of people worried just like you.

I stalled for weeks but I measured myself and I still lost inches just not weight.

Don't worry, your doing fine. Just keep doing the correct things and you will get smaller

(raises hand) Yep, that's me, a slow loser. I literally weighed the same, to the very ounce, for 6 days! I do feel changes in my size and clothes and will have to be happy with that.

Don't feel bad, I'm 4 weeks out and have been the same weight for 3 weeks... I'm eating 1000-1200 calories daily but work out for 1 hour plus weight train too. Surgery date 8/7 179pounds, went down to 165 in 1 1/2 weeks and have been the same! I have lost inches but not weight.

I just feel everyone is different and should be very much aware how the human body work....the regimen for the gastric sleeve is designed for each patient to follow day by day and week by week but what I have came to realize is dat its ok to change the plan every two weeks bcuz the body become immune very fast if we are eating the same exact foods everyday...so when you find yourself at a stall increase are decrease your food intake...Also weighing yourself everyday is not good...

Hi ladies any updates on your weight loss I'm a slow loser too and I'm curious to see how you guys are doing now that's it's been a couple months?
