6 months out and only losing 2-3 lbs. a month?



Recommended Posts

Hey all I am a little over 6 months out was sleeved June 4th. I have lost 103 lbs. as of date. I know this is huge! No way I could have done this on my own. But I have only lost 3 lbs since election day. I'm gettin kind of bummed would really like to see onderland by new years. I am only 7 lbs away * sigh* my question I guess is this for all of you " old timers" does your body reach a set point and then slow down? I have been between 1000-1200 daily. I know I need to up my exercise too. Thinking about doing miss divas boot camp. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance!

My surgery is next week, but I have heard from everyone, on hear and at the docs, that six months, 12 months and 18 months are the big slow downs, with occasional small ones in between. My docs advice...hang in there and stay strong. If you have more weight to lose, you will start again. It all slows down as you lose more and more.

I am about 8.5 months out and have slowed down to about 7lbs a month. I am ok with that as long as I continue to lose.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
