I am curious and a little worried at the same time. I was sleeved on 8/14 and to date I've lost 25 lbs. I know everyone is different, but I feel my weight loss has been slow going in comparison to other people on this forum. When I started this weight loss process, I weighed 224 and now 199. Am I going to be a slow loser or am I doing something wrong? I don't want to waste my honeymoon stage. . Down and depressed.

Yes, you are going to be a slow loser. You were only 224 when you started.

How tall are you? Remember those who have less to lose will lose slower.

Man! I just posted the same thing! I am going crazy! I have plateaued for 2 and a 1/2 weeks now!!! I think we need to stay positive because there is no way we can't lose weight- I mean we definitely can't eat as much as we used to. Hang in there! And I'll try to hang in there too- but it definitely is hard sometimes. Sheesh!

At 5'4" 145lbs = 24.9BMI = "normal"

This means you started with 79lbs of excess body weight. You've lost 25lbs. This means you have already lost over 30% of your excess body weight.

It's true CO, it's easier said than done. You'd think with a smaller belly, our weight loss would be greater, but nope not the case with me! Oh we'll patience was never a virtue for me!

This means you started with 79lbs of excess body weight. You've list 25lbs. This means you have already lost over 30% of your excess body weight.

What a great way to think like that. Doesn't seem like I've lost 30%.
