Losing Slow At Very Beginning?

Hi, i fear I am going to be a slow loser. Here I am 11 days post op, and i've barely lost anything. its hard to watch all the posts of people saying, "oh hey, I lost 15 lbs at my 1 week post op appt." Not me -- 2 lbs. Sigh. I was wondering if you all had slow weight loss from the very beginning?

I'm with you about the stall thing, Dana. I only lose weight one or two days out of the month. I'll be the same weight forever then one morning I weigh myself and I'm down 2-5 pounds. It seems I'm always in a "stall"

I'm like that too! I don't lose anything then I'll start my period and couple of days after I'll lose some weight then I'll just stay there until the whole process starts over again 0_o

Did that make sense??

Hehehe.... That's cute!! :)

Thanks I will try that,

Let me make a lot of you feel better ;)

Sleeved 9/26/12 244 today 209 yeah that's right a huge 35 lb loss in almost 5 months. I work out 5/6 days a week 2/3 hour a day get my food Water so on all in and spot on. Blood work hormones all norm. So as for slow I might get the gold. No my inches don't move btw not in the past 10weeks. Some ppl just don't loss as fast as others. If your not working out you have only your self to be upset with when your not loosing weight. Well I watch what I eat drink and how I workout and I get nothing blah. But you know what the weight will come off even if I have it get it sucked out and cut off. I have a 25K "I was self pay" portion control device for life. :P

Aaww that woud not be the exta water or the unmentioned protien cute..... Well done in loosing the 1lb before you know it youll be at your target weight

I went to drs and nut yesterday, although weigh loss is slow they were pleased. I think I stress myself more about measuring up to what they think. My Dec appt was a bit stressful so I didn't know what to expect. My doc reminded me of my body structure and that I have more muscle mass then some of his patients. He also reminded me that it can take 18 to 24 months to get to goal. I have to go for a bone/fat scan thing because he wants to compare it to the first one. He said BMI is a good guide but does not give entire picture. I am happy. I think the pressure has been relieved with his positive reinforcement.
