What weight did you start out at? Those with less to lose tend to lose slower than heavier people.

July 16 i have lost 63 pounds.. 149pound current weight.. Ideal weight 115..

Just be patience and continue to do the right things and stop watching tthe scale. You did not get heavy over night and the weight lost is not healthy if you lose it to fast either. Get your self a wii and give your self a goal every month and make your goal small.

If you keep a food log in addition to keeping a exercise log this way you can make changes so you don't stall.

One more thing you are different from everybody else. There is no correct amount to lost at any given time.

I three months I stall on the weight lost but I was losing inches off my waist.

My goal is a min of 5lbs a month.

I'm a couple days away from 3 months and have lost 36, with another 54 to go. I started at 227. Reading these other posts, I'm realizing that apparently I'm a slow loser My goal is to lose at least 5 pounds a month, I just don't want to get disappointed if I don't make my goals.

I'm gonna annoy some people.....but, come on! These numbers you all are mentioning are FANTASTIC!!!! It's pounds that are coming off and you'll never see again! That's the miracle of this surgery. Not that it's coming off 'slowly.' If you really wanted to lose it quickly then you picked the wrong surgery, should have done the bypass.

As long as you are following your program and exercising, it will come off. Stop beating yourselves up. Enjoy the process! It really is a miracle what is happening to our bodies. So stop comparing yourself to others. It's all apples and oranges. :-)

hey buddy, if you compare yourself with other sleevers, you will be constantly upset and disappointed. try to focus on the fact that youve lost SEVENTY-ONE pounds! woo-hoo, do the happy dance with me! we have to remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint, and we all win in the end if we do what we're supposed to. you are doing amazing. have you ever lost 71 pounds in 3 months before? i did on adkins, but gained 80 pounds back. if you stay on course, that 71 stupid pounds is NEVER coming back again. you are doing great! be pround of yourself.

But I lost 47 pounds in 3 months the other was pre-op required by my insurance

I am feeling the same way and I am always hungry. I have a protein shake in the morning, a half of turkey burger with no bread for lunch and small piece of fish at dinner. Why is the weight not coming off faster?

that is still great. that puts you at about 179, right? ya gotta change your thinkin buddy. when was the last time that you were 179? the sleeve works differently for everyone. we knew before surgery that we weren't going to come out of the hospital with a hundred pound drop. it took us years to put on this weight, we can't expect it to fall off in 3 months. i know it sucks watchin the scale move (or not) very slowly, but hey, it's going in the right direction now! it won't be overnight, but it WILL be a reality that you make goal. i know it's dissappointing when you see other sleevers with higher numbers, but focus on the numbers that count. you have lost 47 pounds! that's freakin awesome.

on another note, have you been taking your measurements? when my scale stops moving, or is going really slow, it is those times that my body is doing other things. i went through a 2 week stall, where i actually GAINED 2 pounds (talk about wanting to throw the stupid scale out the window and drive over it repeatedly with the truck) but in those 2 weeks, i actually lost a full inch from my waist and 1/4 inch from my arms AND my thighs. then, the stall ended. there are a ton of things going on in your body right now. dont lose heart. you are doing great!
