Slow, slow, and slower! Pounds are wanting to stay!

7 weeks PO and down 33 pounds. I know those are GREAT numbers, and I'm so thankful to be feeling better. But the last month has been a slow and stop month! Maybe 9 pounds. The rest was all in the 1st few weeks. I know eventually it will come off. I am following the rules. I do need to drink more water, and I struggle to hit my 60g of protein but I manage. My dear husband decided he would lose weight with me... No surgery and of course he PASSED me up yesterday dropping 35 pounds (ugh men..*eyeroll*) lol anyways just venting. It seems to make me feel better when I have someone to vent to! And PS. I really am proud of my hubby. Didn't want that to sound bad ????????????

Check out the topic on Plateaus... we've all been there, and you'll be delighted once you get past this slight delay and see the pounds suddenly drop. Have faith and treat yourself well. You deserve it.

Don't know what your stats are, but you seem to be doing very well. I'm coming up on my fifth month and I'm averaging about 10lbs a month. I'm just so very great full for every pound loss. I'm giving myself a whole year or longer to get to my goal. I just want to get there. Best.

I will be 4 months post op on the 22nd, and I've lost 45 lbs. You're worried about 33 lbs in 7 weeks? You're doing just fine.

I can relate! I'm 4 weeks out today and I have lost 25 lbs! My husband is 1 week out today and has lost 26! :-( I want to feed him a donut, LOL!

YES agree, you are doing just fine... there will be plenty of stalls.... I'm out 7 months and on my 6th month only lost ONE single little tiny pound the entire month, now it began to slide off again.... Good luck, continue the good work!! :)

babbs im not worried per say. Just that it all happened so early and just seemed to STOP.

MY SW was 275

CW 242. I'm 4'11.5". My BMI was like 53! Just thought the 1st 50 pounds would be super easy as I'm SO fat ???? by no means am I ungrateful for what I have lost already, nor will it throw me off my plan and my pushing forward :)

I guess you can imagine how I felt when I lost ZERO pounds in October, at 2 1/2 months out. I embarrassed myself at my three month check up, by crying in my surgeon's office. Your body can only do what it can do. I'm a very slow loser, but I made peace with it.

I think you're doing great. Tomorrow will be 2 months for me and I've lost 39.5 pounds since surgery. The first week I lost 16 and since then its been slow and not-so-steady.

You are doing fantastic! Took me 3 months to lose 30 pounds postop....that included a month long stall where I actually gained 3 pounds. Just keep doing what you're doing. Losing slow is healthier and certainly didn't keep me from reaching and even passing my goals.
