I am a year and 20 Days postop, Im only at 83 lbs down my weight has seemed to plateau i went from 272 to 189 .. is anyone else losing their weight slower? O r has reached a stall .. a friend of mine told me to start the reset pouch diet .

I had lost exactly 79.5 pounds at one year post-op. I weighed 218 on surgery day, and on my one-year sleeve anniversary I weighed 138.5 pounds.

It took me approximately 17 months to lose 100 pounds. Yes, I was a slower loser. However, a slow and steady pace is still capable of achieving the goal. Good luck to you.

thank you i needed to hear that i appreciate it

Congratulations on the 83 pound weight loss[emoji106] I am 9 months post op and was 263 when I started my journey and today 185 (78 pounds), but I have noticed it coming off slower now also.

Sleevers can continue surgery related weight loss for about 1.5 years. After that it'll be up to you, but doable.

You are doing great!

Thanks . Well i guess i need to keep pushing a little harder

Hi. Thanks for posting this. I'm about 7 weeks out and have been stalled for the last two weeks. I am at 32-33 lbs lost. I have tried upping my calories a little for a few days and then back to my normal daily intake. Just keep bouncing around 32-33 lbs lost. I was walking but having a little issue with my knees when walking. I ordered stationary bike that is supposed to be low impact on the knees. Did anyone else notice a stall at 7 weeks? Seems like this would be too soon.

I didn't notice a stall at 7 weeks because I wasn't weighing myself daily, or even weekly. It's hard to notice stalls when you weigh in no more than once a month.

By the way, it took me an entire 3 months to lose 33 pounds. You accomplished that in less than 7 weeks so you are still doing well. Keep up the good work.

I don't lose weight rapidly but my body keeps getting slimmer. I'm in a size 12 now and haven't lost a single lb yet I was a size 14 2 weeks ago. lol!

Mine is slow and steady but my body is changing more rapidly.

Thanks for the reply, Introversion and LittleLizzielillyput (great name!). I am glad to hear that this is maybe somewhat normal, especially since I'm a band to sleeve revisionist ... I was a little worried going in that I might not lose as much or as quickly due to the band. I'm still optimistic! Especially as you two have lost a good deal of weight! Congratulations, by the way! That is inspirational! Also, "LLL," I have noticed I've gone down 2 dress sizes. Maybe I should take my measurements! Thanks again for the encouraging words!

Yes 33 lbs in 7 weeks is pretty amazing .. i also had a couple stalls in the very beginning but i was also really constipated ALL THE TIME (sorry TMI), it started to discourage me so i stopped weighing myself every day .. i notice it always seems to work its self out . But you are doing an amazing job keep it up !!

Thank you so much! I finally dropped 2 more pounds. And actually (tmi as well) I'm experiencing issues with constipation as well. :/ I am going to try taking something to help. I guess Metamucil. Thanks again for the encouragement.
