My weight loss has slowed down substantially the past 2 mths. Has anyone elses weight loss came to such a slow loser such as me? I've only lost 8 lbs in the past 2 mths.

Hello I was sleeved on 7/11/2013. I am the same. I have read a lot that at 5 and 6 months out this is normal. A 1 to 2 pound a week is normal. After the body goes through a rapid weight loss it slows down a bit. I just keep plugging along.

.

I did push my self a little harder at the gym that helps. It also depends on how much you have to loose. I think others that have more to loose it may be more than the 1 to 2 pounds but once you get closer to your goal it just takes longer.

I am now in a size 14/16 from a 22 so I couldn't be happier. I keep my carbs under 40 a day and I work out 4 days min a week. I figured that if I loose 5 to 8 pounds a month that would put me at goal around August and that would be 13 months from Surgery. I have happy with that. It is a life change for me and the scale I try to not think abut too much. I am just so happy my sleep apnea is gone and my feet don't hurt!

Hi

i am a slow loser .My surgery was 3/19/13 .I am down 67 lbs ..So compared to me your not slow. Your doing very well . I am happy with my loss and feel great. Sure I wish it was more but that will happen after the holidays when i get myself back into high sleeve mode . Good luck to you

I have also slowed down. But I am still very happy with my results. I was sleeved on 7/1/13 and am down to 235.

Hi Bella66,

I was sleeved on 7/3 and since surgery I've only lost 59 lbs. I've stalled for 4 weeks twice already and when I do start loosing again is very slow. Don't let it bother you...one pound lost it's better than nothing or adding a pound.

Thanks Everyone! !! You made me feel better. It's always nice to know you're not alone in this battle....you guys rock!!

From an old timer who is coming up on two years out, has lost all of his excess and then some, and is as happy as a peach with results, it sounds like you are doing good.

The farther out I got after the first few months, the slower it went down. I decided at several points that the drop was over only to discover that it went on despite my not weighing myself.

Weight loss is a smaller part of this. Getting muscles in shape and getting healthy are higher priorities. These are the things that assure the permanence of your losing.
