I am 8 months post op . My last three weigh ins I lost 6 pounds , four pounds and this month 2 pounds . I am at a total of 85 pounds . I'm feeling a little disappointed. 12 pounds in 3 months is so little for as hard as I am working . My surgeon says The weight loss will taper off since I only have about 25 pounds to go . But I will still lose inches . Is anyone else experiencing this ??

I'm 7 months out. I've hit the 100# mark and have 13# to go to hit my doctors goal but that will be slow and easy it seems. I'm in a bit of a "comfort" zone which I need to get out of it. I'm at a ugh point too...

You definitely will still lose inches. Try not to only focus on the numbers on the scale, it is not the only way to measure weight loss. I had been playing the same 2-3 pounds for over a month going up and down but during that time I also went down a clothing size! Try to use your measurements and how your clothing fits to also gauge your weight loss.

Same thing with me. When I reach a stall my pants are still too big. So yes keep it up and soon the scale will be in your favor

I'm in the same boat. It has taken me two months to lose 15 pounds - three months to lose 20. I'm not complaining - I've lost 138 pounds overall, but now it's at a tortoise pace. I'm almost 8 months post op. I've already surpassed my surgeon's goal, but I still have 40 pounds to lose to meet my goal and 60 pounds to lose as a cushion which is what the nutritionist wants me to have.

It slows down but weight-loss continues. At a certain point, I don't even weigh myself except for once every few months. And every few months I am surprised to find I've dropped another 20 pounds even though I thought I wasn't losing weight anymore. I had my surgery in late November, 2015. And I'm still losing.

I was sleeved on 10/10/2016. I have struggled the entire time with many stalls lasting anywhere from 2 - 3 weeks to now, nothing since December. I am feeling that I had the VSG for naught. But then I think that I wasn't losing weight at all prior to surgery. I have a total loss of about 36 lbs.

So I'm feeling that I am in some maintenance phase. I have only had a 1 time gain of a total of 5 lbs. I have tried to reset by going back to liquids only for a day or 2 a week.

I am a diabetic and an older sleever (70) do you think both of these conditions are impacting my ability to lose more?
