I was sleeved on July 26th and I'm so scared this is TOO slow. With my preop I've lost 26 pounds. So many people have lost so much more. I'm really bothered by this. When I went in for my 3 week check I was on track according to my Dr.but now 3 weeks later I've lost very little more. Scared

I call myself the slowest loser. Surgery 02/09/12. I was losing about an average 1 lb a week. I know it's frustrating but keep working it. At about 5-6 mos post op the weightloss has pretty much stopped but thats when the magic started. I'm shrinking. Going down sizes and looking much thinner. So keep eating right & exercising. It'll happen.

It's the worst feeling ever. I'm thankful for losing slow but then it bothers me. I mean I basically lost 16 pounds each month and I think I broke must all today, we shall find out. I'm 217 today and really wanted to be at 205 at two months out.

I'm disappointed in my weight loss so far too' date=' although it's only been a week. I have followed the program and only lost 4 lbs. Ordinarily that would seem like a lot, but given how little food I've had, I expected more. Plus if the early post op is when weight drops the quickest, not so great. My biggest fear was that I'd be a slow loser and maybe that's the way it's going to be Nice to have support though and others who can commiserate.[/quote']

Im just curious, being only one week out are you on liquids or food?

Ok now I'm down 31 pounds . Nice big drop. Feeling good!! Add 16 before preop and now total is 47. The 16 was to be eligible to have the surgery and that began last August. Feeling inspired again. l

That's great news! I wish mine would break ;/. I'm getting impatient.

I am pre op and i predict to be a slow loser. I am ok with this as it may mean less loose skin! Have you noticed any yet? As long as i lose i will be happy. I am hoping for 2 lbs a week. What is everyone averaging per week??

Slow and steady wins the race. My weight loss has been slow, but the change in my body has been dramatic. And, I feel awesome!!

I am in the same place. I really am trying to be more upbeat about this whole thing. Trying not to compare myself to others. But sometimes...

I would be happy with 10lbs a month.

Yes I've notices loose skin but I also read that your body needs time to adjust and some of that improves. 3.6 average per week if I count preop.

Yay! My stall finally broke! I woke up at 215 this morning when u was bouncing 218-220. Glad that's over! Lol

• I'm worried that I'm not losing enough, too. I had my sleeve done on July 16th and I've only lost 26 pounds total. That includes what I lost on the pre-op liquid diet.... I'm trying to watch my calories and exercise when I can but it's frustrating. I thought the weight loss would be a lot quicker.
