Hello sleevers,

Lemme give you brief on me... 29 year old, surgery date 12th March 2015 and surgery weight 248 pounds. It's been 18week post op now and I have lost 41 pounds. It's seems right on with the plan abut slow comparing to other sleevers, so I will hence not compare at all ????

This is my concern/problem... I keep losing weight in phases, like 3 weeks back in 1 week I managed to lose around 7 pounds and the next 3 weeks nothing happened. Maybe again in 1 week I will lose some weight and then 20 days stall.... My body is doing this!

Now is this normal or abnormal? Am I doing something wrong? I workout 5-6 days a week either treadmill or cross trainer, I drink atleast 32oz and I eat my protein 1st.

I have always had a history of PCOS and crazy irregular periods, I had to induce periods... Post surgery I have had 2 episodes of periods, it's coming towards the normal category. My blood works are normal and all good.

Then whats wrong? Why am I not losing on weekly basis unlike everybody????

Please help/guide. Thank you.

First, I'm also 29 and have PCOS. I was sleeved last November.

Second, everyone loses differently. My body seems to have two weeks it loses pounds then two week "stalls" where I lose inches but minimal or no weight. I noticed this early on and I've had as long as three weeks with a single pound lost.

However, try to think in averages. I set the goal to average 2 pounds lost a week since that's what doctors recommend. That doesn't mean I expect to lose 2 or more pounds each week. If I lose 5 pounds one week then 2 the next then 0.5 a pound the next two weeks I consider it a success. As you lose it will slow down so be prepared for that. I'm 14 pounds from goal and as you can see I've still maintained my weekly average with 2.16 lbs a week.
