It's totally normal for weight loss to slow. As long as you are sticking with the basics....protein, Water, Vitamins, and activity then you are doing what you are supposed to. If, not, you know what to change....more Protein, more Water, less carbs, take your Vitamins, eat more non starchy veggies, and excercise more.

And remember this is not a race. The rate at which you lose in no way reflects your long term success. The only thing that matters is that you never, ever, stop trying. Giving up is the only failure.

At the six month mark my dr said that the weight loss would slow. I had my surgery on June 15 and I have lose 86 pounds. Since Thanksgiving I have only lost about 10 pounds. I am actually going to be on a liquid diet today to "reset" my pouch and get all the cravings out of my system. I have not been eating bad until yesterday. I have a couple of Oreo Cookies and I made the kids take them to school with them today so they were out of the house and I couldn't eat them:). But I have been still eating Protein grist and getting about 60+, which is what my dr requires. I have been drinking 60+ ozs of Water, and have been getting in about 900-1000 calories a day. I have also been going to the gym at least 4-6 times a week and burning around 400-450 calories when I go. I am beyond frustrated and that is why I am going to be on a liquid diet today to see if it helps or not. Good luck!

None of us lose at a constant or steady rate. I was sleeved in April and my weight loss has slowed with periodic stalls, but the physical changes I have been undergoing have been tremendous. I am becoming more mobile and more active and am still shrinking.

Just continue to follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as directed.

And, exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

If you check my signature, you can see how my weight loss slowed before I reached my goal weight of 165. I was down to about 2 pounds a month towards the end there. You just have to keep plugging away. Even at two pounds per month, you will eventually get to your goal like I did.

I'm also an April 2015 sleever and have stalled. Good to know I'm not alone in this struggle.
