I am two months post op. I dropped a good amount of weight the first few weeks, but now it has slowed. I am only losing 1-2 pounds a week. Is this normal? And, has anyone else gone through this? Thank you!

2 pounds a week = 8 in a month. Sounds great. We all lose a different speeds. It's not a race it's the fact you are losing. Your sleeve restriction will be less as you progress out from surgery. This is normal. As long as you are working your plan you will lose weight.

1 to 2 pounds is about where i am at too.

This is where I'm at and I'm two months out. I lost 1.4lbs last week.

Yes, it's normal. As we lose weight, our Basal Metabolic Rate drops as well. Not many people pay attention to their BMR.

Yes. It's driving me nuts. But literally everyone on the forums says it's normal. Which is comforting. I think my biggest downfall is comparing my weight loss to others who had their surgery the same time as me. But I have noticed I look better in my clothes and I feel amazing.

Went to my Dr for 3 month follow up last Fri. He's like 20lbs six weeks. Need to exercise more. Um you only told me I could do treadmill. Oh you can do whatever. Well thanks! But my question is if I'm only getting 500-700 calories as is workshop exercising more require me to eat more? I have trickle now being out all in
