Slow losers Club

[Beachsprite 118]

Well it turns out my 3rd week stall was just the beginning I am losing very slowly maybe if lucky 2lb a week. While any loss is ok I could lose that just doing weight watchers and have lost more weekly doing Optifast. I guess I was hoping for a couple of months of 3-5lb weekly loses minus the notorious 3rd week stall before settling into a slower pace. But looks like I am firmly in the slow losers club from week 2 onwards.

I am trying to be accepting of this any fellow slow losers want to give me a pep talk or new slow losers want a whine like me lol??

I'm pretty happy with my 2 to 4 lbs loss per week. I mean I'm not having to upgrade my wardrobe as fast and I feel it's a more natural loss. When I get on the scale and it is down, that is a win in my book!

I was expecting bigger losses initially too. But I'm happy with consistent losses, for a long time pre op I couldn't get past the lose two gain 1.5.

My entire weight loss for week 4-7 was 2 pounds! Been steadily losing 3-4 week after week 7

The weight loss does seem to fluctuate and just because it is 2 pounds now doesn't mean it won't be different some weeks. Yeah maybe you could have lost 2 pounds a week at Weight Watchers but did you?

Hang in there and the weight loss will come. Have faith in your plan and keep on going! You've got this!

Thats me right now I'm only 5 weeks out and have began a slow weight loss.. I call it a stall because I've been the same for about a week now this will be the second. I'm just going to start a new exercise plan. Ugh

Yeah i weighed in this morning and lost a big fat nothing this week. Sigh. I think i'm just going to have to try my best to distract myself from thinking about it somehow and just hope things pick up.

VSG 8/17...........Feeling very discouraged as well. 9.4 lbs lost ............hhhhhhkjkkkkk............i get what the above reply said about ......i could have done this at WW. My husband was sleeved in Feb. and has lost 100 lbs. I was lapband to sleeve. They told me it would be slow, but this is rediculous. I am doing everything they told me and I am able to get in all Protein and Water and exercise regularly. Walked for 2 days in Disney this week........to the point of blisters.............and only a .4 loss..........just not fair...Granted i'm almost 60 yrs. old.........but what the heck......Done ranting. thank you for listening.

I think we all need to be a bit patient, I think it will happen with time. Havn't lost a pound since week two and today I am at week four. I tell myself that if others have walked this road before and they say it's so then I should believe it's so and that I'll move shortly.

To the lady who is almost 60. I salute you and your efforts. Give it time I am sure it will happen for you, as it did for your husband .

Oooooo can I join your club?? I am three months post op and since my surgery date I have lost 39 pounds. So that is about 2.5 pounds a week and honestly I lost 7 the first week and most weeks it is just 1 pound a week. I'm not dissatisfied at all! I could have never lost 51 pounds on my own and every pound that comes off, I know is staying gone. Heck, the knowledge I have gained about my body and nutrition has been worth it.

I was sleeved 8/17 lost 33 pounds so far sometimes go up 3 it fluctuates alot so I try to stay away from the scale I guess is all about having patience and not getting discouraged thank you all for the support it really helps alot????

[undeserving777 8]

Sleeved 8/10 lost 20 the first 3 weeks And since then has been so slow, I was 256 and now today I weighed 228 so 8 pounds in the last three weeks I struggle with it because I am also still very sore so I get little exercise in because 2 weeks ago I over did it (vaccumed out my car) and have been in pain since, I am hoping once I can workout more that I will be able to lose more but until then I will join the club

ill wine as well. I've only lost 17lbs since I was sleeved. It's been a month

[ylluz 151]

I know how it feels its moving slow and no one really sees the loss yet

I am so glad I "happened" upon this post. I am at two months, one week...and have had a 54 lb lost counting the 20 pre-op so 34 since surgery. I too was expecting TONS of weight coming off since I had 200 to lose. I was sitting here thinking, at this rate it's going to take me 20 years (ok a little exaggerated). I am trying very hard to remind myself not everyone is the same...
