I am officially 8 weeks out! Though I'm losing weight slower than most I am still losing. I have hit a stall within the past two weeks.

To be honest I do look at fellow sleeved patients and there progress and I do get somewhat depressed because I am losing so slow. Still better regrets, I see my weight going down vs going up like usual which is a relief.

I plan on now starting a good workout regimen and hope that helps.

Congrats on your surgery! So happy that everything turned out well and you're on the losers bench! I was sleeved 10/5/16 and as far as i know have lost 38 lbs from day of surgery. I feel like I'm a slow loser too but keep telling myself so long as its trending down and i do what I'm supposed to it'll come off. Just stay positive, your doing great!????

As a lapbander we notoriously lose slower than you. You are both doing awesome.

Congratulations on your decision and your progress.

I was sleeved on10/10/16 and feel I am a really slow loser. And it is uncanny how closely we track.

So, I've been really disappointed at how slowly I'm losing. But as you said I am at leasts losing. I'm diabetic and my doctor said we lose slower and less that others.

I have had several stalls, once lasting 2-1/2 weeks right after surgery. For the last few weeks I have been losing and just had my biggest loss of 6 lbs, yeah!

I do stick to my plan faithfully, but still have trouble getting in the Water. I am doing better with it. And although I am suppossed to cut out the Protein shakes now, I still can't eat enough protein to get in my 50 gms per day. So I supplement half of it.

Keep up the good work, we'll get ot our goal sooner than later

There are plenty of threads on stalling, it happens after the surgery. Please don't despair! Read through some of them, it's what helped me get through when I started feeling depressed and questioning if I made the right decision I am now seven months out and I know I made the right decision I've now lost a hundred and six pounds!

I was a VERY "slow" loser and you know what? It didn't matter at all! I still got to my goal and have been happily maintaining ever since. You will have the rest of your life to enjoy being at your goal weight. What does it matter if it takes you a couple months longer to get there than someone else? I promise you, at over two years out, I never ever look back and say to myself "if only I'd reached goal a month earlier."

You're so right. Thanks for the perspective. I am committed to reaching my goal and lifetime maintenance. And congratulations and your loss.

@@_bribri1001 your doing amazing hun! I sure wish my butt was 206 as of right now & I haven't even had the surgery yet. Just imagine there is someone out there that's wanting to be exactly where you are. You have plenty of months to go for it to shed off. Always remember "weight loss is a sprint, not a marathon" it'll happen but not overnight!

I feel the same way and it's hard !

I'm four almost five weeks post op and have been stalled for two weeks - it's depressing other people are loosing so fast --- but when you start not as big then you lose slower it's just hard to accept

Thanks for the encouragement KayPitre and Ambernoel. I should be grateful I'm losing. ad it is hard to be on plan and losing slowly.

I hav been much more active and am loving my new activity tracker. It keeps me moving.

Good luck to bth of you. We're doing this!
