Hi, this is pretty normal. I'm actually running neck and neck with you. I was 4 mos out on the 8th of Oct. I started at 260 and as of this morning I'm 203, so I've lost 57 lbs. I do feel like its slow though hoping it will pick up soon I started watching carbs more the past few days and have noticed a difference. Good luck

Hey lizsmile,

56lb in 4mths is brilliant! When I was at 4mths I had lost 30lb and I was thrilled to bits, so I think you are doing really well. In the last 2mths you have lost 9lb per mth, which is over 2lbs a week ... that is pretty much spot on! Try to look at the bigger picture and not mth to mth, although I appreciate that is hard work!

Just keep on doing what you are doing, as to me it sounds just right. You are over half way to goal!! Keep up the good work and good luck... =]

It's normal, your body metabolism is adjusting, you can't lose at same rate over long period of time. You need to shake up metabolism and get out of starvation mode. Add a few calories for a couple of days then reduce and increase exercise. Eat small meals and move around more during day.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
