Today Im 2 months post op and have lost 29 pounds as of this morning, to me this is very very slow as before surgery when I would diet I have dropped 85 pounds in less then 3 months, I was much heavier then when I started this time but it still seems like I should be losing much faster, and the reason for the surgery is I can never keep it all off. So I was wondering what was y'alls starting weight and how much did y'all lost at 2 months post op? Thanks any answers would be appreciated.

I'm nearly four months and have only lost 46 lbs. At two months I had only lost about 25 lbs. I know we're losing slower than a lot of others, but consider the fact that so far you are still averaging more than three and a half pounds a week, every week! Slow is not a bad thing. As long as the scale keeps moving in the right direction, we're doing all right!

I haven't been sleeved yet and 30-40 pounds in 2 months sounds like heaven. On weight watchers or jc the best I ever lost was 15 the first month and maybe 5-8 pounds each month after. Its why I always quit and gained it back in about 10 minutes.

I'm losing super slow. I was sleeved on 8/21. I around 230. Today I weighed in at 207. I'm ok with that loss. I started at 253 in May and lost a lot pre-surgery. I KNOW that weight is never coming back.

I never was a big eater. Sure, I'd have my Pasta binges but I never ate near the quantity my weight looked like I was. Nobody believed me!! They thought I was a closet eater. Post surgery the docs and NUT are FINALLY believing me. We think that I am just very, very sensitive to carbs. So i try to stay less than 20, but 10 grams a day is better. W/o this surgery I wouldn't have been able to sustain that low like amount like I can now. So i'm putzing along, slowly losing and enjoying life w the knowledge that eventually i'll get to my goal weight.

I started at 281, almost 6 weeks ago and I am down 31 lbs. but never lost last week so I think things are slowing down for me as well but I am happy with each pound I lose because like everyone else is saying....I know I will keep it off because I can't eat much.

At 2 months I had lost 30 pounds and at my check up they told me it was average. I felt like it was super slow because like you I had lost more faster on previous diets. My husband just kept encouraging me that this time it was staying off. It is not what I expected but looks like I will loose about 10lbs a month. Really it's not that bad and considering that I have energy, can easily get in all needed Protein and liquids and tolerate all foods in small amounts. I also think that my age (50) and the regain from my many previous diets may have messed with my metabolism and made it slower. All the more so makes me glad I choose to go through surgery. I knew I was done with the diet failing and could not get myself to do it again.

I was sleeved July 7th and I'm down 48 pounds. Sometimes I feel like a slow one, other times I don't, I started at 250 and now 203, I think I've hit my second stall after I lost 17 pounds. I guess my body needed a break, lol.oh well as long as it comes off.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
