How to slow weight loss

[Deactivatedfatgal 377]

I don't want to lose weight this fast because I want a slow and steady loss, any suggestion? My start weight was 230 when I got final weigh in week befor surgery, today's I weigh 214 and I think that's too much weight. Any suggestions is great!

Just two week, first few days I barely ate as my stomach was really sensitive and I just had no apetite, today I got in at least 300 calories which is insanely low

Initial loss can be all over the board due to a number of factors, but is usually the fastest that you will experience during this process, and will taper off over time. Initial loss is heavily biased toward Water weight, but after about three weeks (and the typical "third week stall") you will actually start burning fat and things will slow down considerably. (My first month's loss was 32lb, with 15lb in each of the next two months, then 10lb per month, and that is a fairly typical progression.)

Give it a couple months before deciding whether you want to slow things down - most will struggle to get all the weight off that they want as things slow down over time. My basic rule of thumb is that if you are approaching your goal weight (say, within 10lb) within the first six months, then look at slowing things down.

It will slow down naturally. My first 3-4 weeks were big numbers. Then I averaged 2 lbs a week which is totally normal rate. And it doesn't draw unwanted attention if you're keeping your procedure private.
