Long term slow loser results?

Hi all, I've been a slow loser since day 1. HW:364 SW:347 CW:285 at 6.5 months. I'm very greatful for any loss but I have to say I'm terrified that this is suppose to be my honeymoon period and what it will mean when it's supposed to "slow down"...

So, I'm curious to know, for all of you who are 1+ years out of surgery, did your weight loss slow dramatically ? At what month and by how much?

    I'm 3 months post op and I guess I'm considered slow, too. But, I'm not so sure I buy into this "honeymoon" period nonsense. I think that line of thinking happens as a result of people naturally getti

  • I agree with @@bobbyswife No mention of this "honeymoon" period by anyone on my bariatric team. I'm 3 months PostOP and down 95 pounds (60 PreOp). It doesn't matter if it takes 6 months or 2 years..

  • I was a slow loser, especially near the end. It took me exactly 1 year and 7 months to hit goal, which was from 237 to 129, or 108 pounds. If I divided it out, this works out to 5.68 pounds a month.

I was sleeved 2/23/15. HW 343 SW 322 and CW 276. I am almost at a year. Lowest weight before the holidays was 268... I gained 10 pounds and am still trying to get back on track with eating the correct items and portions. I am very frustrated!! I am happy that I lost 67 pounds but really thought I would have lost more.

My sleeve was done in Sept 2015, and I have lost 44lbs. However, I am really working hard at not being discouraged. I do Zumba, ride a stationary bike, and walk 2-4 miles a day. My caloric intake is 1200 a day and I always get my Protein in, but my scales haven't moved in 30 days. My doc is not worried, but I am. I am guessing that my caloric intake needs to be lower, exercise more, and drink more Water. Is anyone interested in being my buddy or supporter? I really want to succeed at this.

I was sleeved 2/19/15 I have only lost 35 pounds and have been on a 9 month stall. I have had back issues with several injections and lots of pain medication. Recently had back surgery getting back to normal trying to break this stall. I have started the 3 day reset and so far so good but just wondering if I will continue to loose weight monthly like everyone else since its been so long.
