I started out with a BMI of 39 .rght now I am 3 months post op and have only lost 30 pounds . 15 the first two weeks and then the other 15 the past2 and a half months. Last month I only lost 5 pounds do you think that this is extremly slow?

You lost 30bs! Not only... I see it as 10lbs a month. So you will reach goal in a year lol I'm rooting for you! Just keep to your surgeons dietary guidelines and sweat.

Every one is different and 30 lbs lost is great. I think a more important question is how do you feel, are you getting in your protien and Water, exercizing? If you are on any meds have you been evaluated to be sure you are not now taking excessive medication? 30 lbs is a lot of weight to lose.

Losing it slowly can have its advantages. I was aiming for minimum nutrient related deficiencies, and less saggy skin. I am doing pretty good. Right now I am at about an 85 pound weight loss, down from size 26 to 14. I am no longer diabetic.

If you do what you are supposed to, be very aware of your emotional needs and bad habits, you will lose. It will happen

It's reallly up to you, but I would try for size 10....

Everyone's different. Men seem to lose faster than women, high BMI seems to lose faster than low BMI. I feel like I should be doing better myself. But, 30 lbs is great! Your going in the right direction..And remember, slower weight loss makes for less saggy skin!

When I went to my seminar, the doctor mentioned how it does not matter how fast/slow you lose weight, you will have saggy skin or you will not. But to help it not be so bad you should take your vitamins/supplements, get in your recommended Water intake, and exercise.

I was like what! Because I thought what everyone thought, that slow weightloss meant not very much loose skin. I don't know what to believe haha

I started with a 36 BMI and at almost 6 weeks have lost 25 pounds. I assumed from the get go my BMI would make me a slow loser, I do not care much cause I am losing and that is what I came to the party to do

Very cool...I am going to Dr. Ponce, Dec. 19th!! Good luck and stay in touch! Can't wait to hear your feedback!

I am happy to have lost 30# just seems like it is going soooo slowly, I don't want it to come to a hault. 25 in 6 weeks is totally different than 30 in 12, I would be happy with that too. I am happy with my sleeve and have no regrets yet, but with the 5 to 7 pound weight loss the past 2 months that scares me esp if your weight loss slows down after 6 months.

Starting BMI 35.5... Almost three weeks out and a total of 25lbs down... very happy so far.. back to eating, albeit slowly and lightly but feeling much better..

That Is spectacular suegirl. I am contemplating doing a jump start diet where basically you go back to day 1 and start over-I think I'm going to do that. I may just only do it for a week or maybe even 2 I don't know but I'm going to start it on the 10th and then when I finish I will post back on here and let y'all know the results.

Like you two I also went to Mexico, but I was with Dr. Kelly. I was scared, nervous, excited all the normal feelings you both I am sure feel. Congrats to you both , you are going to love it !

You are right, they are different and I do understand your feelings. Anyone would cringe at the idea that we went through all this for 25-30 or so pounds, but this too will pass for you and you will see promising breakthroughs I am sure of it !
