what is a SLOW LOSER?

[EarthyGoalie 253]

I hear all the time about people being slow losers, but for someone who has had this surgery, what really is considered a slow loser? Losing 10lbs a month? Less than that? Possibly more?

I know I'm only 2 weeks out, but I see people losing 20lbs+ in the first 2 weeks, whereas I've lost 10 in the first 2 weeks. but then again, I see people complaining of losing very little to nothing in the first 2 weeks also, so I feel like I shouldn't complain... but what exactly puts you in the slow loser category?

People compare themselves to others which is not a good thing. People lose at different paces, men lose quicker than women, the higher the weigh the quicker it comes off. It's a marathon not a race. YOu do you and keep it moving.

I'm a slow loser 44.9 in about 7 months (on monday) but I'm am 115 lbs now so I'm content to lose slow...I'm very short and normal bmi now (88.9-119.8 is normal for me)

I agree with @Sonya139. I've had to take a lot of deep breaths lol. I am 25 days post op (vsg date 09/17/13) and I'm down 12.5 pounds. I've however had some set backs (rear end collision coming from hospital) and something called a splenic infarction( spleen moved during surgery, not getting enough oxygen) my set backs have minimized my mobility so I'm thinking this maybe the reason for my slow weight loss .
