In a month I only lost 6lbs :’(

I am 5 months post-op tomorrow. Since December 17th-January 16th I only lost 6lbs! Is that normal?

      Many times the less you have to lose, the slower it starts to come off as well. If you stay consistent the weight seems to come off, it is just not as fast as we want it to.

      I totally feel you. I'm in the same boat. The closer you get to your ideal weight your body will slow down. WLS is just a starting tool now it's up to us with this brand new tool to use it properly
