I am a slower loser as well, we can cheer each other on!

@Amy1234 fill your stats and profile out more, tell us more of your story.

@Sosewsue61 You know you're losing about 12lbs per month since surgery don't you? That's totes norm and brilliant work I might add! Congrats girlfriend. You're rockin' the casbah! And you had a vacation mixed in there no less!!

I use the metric system


I’m 5’4 female
H/o hypothyroidism & poly cystic ovaries.

I weighed 122 kgs pre op, dropped to 117 after one week of shake and then now dropped to 105, but this loss was over immediate 3 months. Surgery was on August 25, haven’t lost weight since October end. So November - feb no weight loss at all. December was a mess cuz I was out of country but yeah. Idk. I was telling my best friend I feel like I did all this to lose 15 kgs. But I also need to exercise more & eat right .
Anyway it’s a win cuz you don’t gain & also you eat less which is good for over all health.

I'm totally on the same boat as you i had surgery about 2 and a half months ago and I have stalled for over 4- 5 weeks. I have lost 28 pounds including preop which was less than a week. I do my best to eat 1000-1100 calories a day so my body doesn't go into starvation mode. I haven't been able to incorporate any exercise yet because I go to school full time and work full time (I know excuses are excuses but I honestly have no time). I talked to my nutritionist and she said I should keep my carbs below 50 grams/day and try including healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, Salad Dressing etc. I lost 3-4 pounds the first week I did that, but I'm back on a stall now. It's super frustrating as I feel I'm the only one who's going through this and had surgery to loose less than 30 pounds.

So no you're not alone
