I was sleeved April 4. Prior to surgery on pre op I lost 15. I am 5'3.5. As you can see it fluxes each month and the process does slow down. I went from a size 24/ 3x to a Large 12/14. My goal from my doctor is 130 but I am going for 150. August was tough as the scale didn't move. I had to look at measurements to see the progression. My doctor is sort of rude and has been on me about my progress. I am doing all the right things.

Sw: 230

Pre op: 215

April : 204 down 11

May: 191 down 13

June: 186 down 5

July: 182 down 4

August: 179.6 down 2.4

Sept: current weight 177.6

Total Loss: 52.4

You're doing great. There are going to be ups and downs. Some months will be better than others. You are 5 months out and made amazing progress. Be proud of what you have achieved!

At 5 months out you have lost an average of about 10 lbs a month. I think that is great progress. This is not a sprint but a marathon. As long as you are making permanent long term changes to the way you eat, it doesn't matter if it takes you 1 year or 2 years to reach your goal. Keep up the great work!!
