You've lost 15 pounds in 21 days? That's great. Be happy with this. Don't compare yourself to others. I think your loss sounds pretty normal. I'm at 4 weeks and lost right at 22.

I've been stalled for a while now. Don't worry. I've heard this is common.

I'm a slow loser too but I'm happy about it. No really pumped about losely large amounts so swiftly...plus steady works for me. Remember any weight loss is a huge accomplishment! Surgery weight 256 checked out 257.4 today 247 been at that weight for a few days...it's all good! In due time it will melt...:)

You need to join PCOS club on here just click the link under my picture and join. :)

BTW I am 3 weeks out and have lost 17 lbs. Normal weight loss for people not sleeved is 10 lbs a month so I figure as long as we are loosing it's a good thing! ;)

Hello! I feel your pain when I look at everyone else who had the same op date they are way ahead of me. I am at 5 weeks and 19 pounds down. My hubby says that I look smaller everyday. I try to take it one day at a time. I stopped weighing myself daily. Last week I lost 4.5 in a week the week before -2 and I also stalled for over a week. With Pcos we know it will take longer but actually low carb low sugar low cal is the perfect balance for us to loose weight! Good Luck!

I too stales our at week 4 some days it even looked like I gained! How is that possible eating 600-700 calories a day? Today dropped what it showed I gained ! But it's now a week with no lose. I'm not able to exercise so don't know if that's part of it or what! I'm getting discouraged!

I was on Metform twice a day but not since I was sleeved. I know it is crazy but our bodies with PCOS sometimes dont want to let the weight go. I guess we just have to keep on going!.

      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! 😞
