I am 1 month out of surgery with 27lb weight loss. The first 2 weeks I lost about 20 lbs, and the next 2 weeks just about 7lbs.

We MGBers should start posting our weight loss weekly on this site?

It will be interesting to know how everyone else is doing.

I was averaging about 10 lbs a month, but If I check my last 30 days as I am still in month 7. I have only lost 5 lbs. Anyone else experience slow weight loss after month 6? Will it get better and what steps you took?

I'll be two years out in a couple of months, but here is my weekly weight for the first 7 months.

Remember what I said? The closer you get to goal, the slower the losses are. You've done remarkably well so far. I'm sure as long as you continue with whatever you are doing, you will reach goal weight.

Thanks , I reduced down on the carbs and alcohol and kept up my workout routine. I lost 10 lbs this month again instead of the 5lb. 19lbs to my goal.

I'm also slowing down. The first month I lost weight so fast!!!! Now I'm losing 1-2 pounds a week and I'm still far away from my goal.

Hi everyone!

I started off weighing (117.9 kgs) 260 lbs on the day of surgery (26th of April 2015).

I dropped 25.5 lbs in the 1st month, 12.8 lbs the 2nd month, and it slowed down to 6.8 the 3rd month.

The 4th month, my weight loss increased a bit to 9.7 lbs and the last for now, I lost 12.1 lbs in my 5th month.

I have to add the fact that my doc put me back on 2000 mg of Glucophage for my PCOS problem and that helped boost my weight loss. Not recommending it if you do not need it for medical reasons cause it does make you hate life from the nausea and it makes you cranky and not in the mood for anything for a while until your body gets used to it.
