  • 65 pounds in 6 months? That's ten pounds a month, or 2.5 pounds/week, which is pretty much perfect. I'm sure it feels slow compared to some, but that's amazing progress!

    I don't think there is a true answer to your questions, because everyone is different. My outlook has always been if the scale is still moving down things are great, if it slows or stops I wait a wee

I'm not completely for sure. I've heard you lose the most the first year ... I've heard at 6-8 mo it slows down ... I've heard people still lose after 2 years. I don't know what is going to happen. LOL I'm just rolling with it!

I'm very happy with what I've lost. But yes compared to others I'm soooo slow????????. But it's better than nothing.....

I'm also 6 months out (sleeved 2-8-13). I have been struggling the last month. I was 203 this morning (262 on surgery day) and keep going up and down 1 pound daily for the entire month. It is irritating, but I just believe that I've gotten to the point where it will be really slow now.

Yea I think I've slowed down too but i really want to lose 20 more pounds. I'm the same way I'm yoyoing with 2-3 pds it's so frustrating!!!

Hello I am new here but I had my surgery 6weeks ago and have lost 32 lbs.but when I do eat food after 2 bites it feels like I swallowed a golf ball and I get a funny cramp at the very top of the sleeve like in the center of the ribcage....has anyone else felt this

Im a slow loser too. I've lost 18 lbs in the last 6 wks. But I started at 174 (slipped lapband) so I knew Id lose it slower. I also know they sy the last 20 lbs are the hardest and I have about 26 lbs to go so I know I will really start slowing down. Already seeing that. The last 6 days I bounced begween 158 to 157. Tnis morning I finally made it to 156. So relieved the scale is finally moving.

It'll eventually all come off. I believe in the school of thought that the slower u lose it the longer ull keep it off

I get this if I don't chew well enough. Watch your chewing and see if that helps.
