4 months post op- slow loss??

[taylorfulfer 20]

Anyone else lose slow after they had the surgery? I hate to be one of those people who complain but it seriously gives me anxiety. Anyone else feel like the sleeve didn’t work? I’m 4 months out and 48 lbs lost. I started at 335 and now I’m at 287. Will I lose more? I know a loss is a loss but most of it came off the first month and now super slow. Any advise? Anyone who lost 10 pounds a month hit 100 pounds lost? Just looking for similar stories.

Statistically, most sleevers will lose 60% of their excess weight by 18 months out from surgery.

If you start at 335....and maybe you want to hit 160...that's 175 pounds of excess weight. 60% of 175 is 105 pounds.

Most 335 pound people who try sleeve will be down 105 by the end of 18 months.

Some people will do even better than this...and lose 70-80% of their excess weight.

Some people will do a little worse.....and lose only 40-50% of their excess weight.

To increase your odds of being in the group with better numbers...increase your exercise, hit your Protein, Fluid and calorie goals. Avoid overly processed refined foods and foods with a high glycemic index.

Some good news.... people who lose weight at a steady slow pace lose as much over the 18 months as those who starve themselves for faster results in the beginning.

You've already lost 48 pounds. To get to 105 (the average result)....you have only 57 pounds to lose in the next 14 months.....which amounts to about 4 pounds a month.

Now...we all want to do better than the average...and we all want to get to that 70-80%. (and even push all the way to 100%) People who have these results generally exercise more, food journal more diligently, and do their follow up appointments.

Best wishes on your journey...and hopes for extra success:)

Ditto to what Creekiml13 said!
I’m struggling with my Water and Protein intake my weight loss has been consistent I started the process at 245 and my surgery date weight was 225. Today I weight 190. I had the surgery sept. 12 I workout regularly. Some people’s body’s just take more of a push, my goal it to hit my water intake goal, and to hit some of my protein goal. You will be successful mind over matter! Exercising and eating right is the key to success! You can do it I believe in you!
