Not losing as fast



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery in December and I’ve only lost 26 pounds. I feel like I should be losing more.

I had my surgery May 2018 and I have only lost 56 lbs. So 26 lbs after 2 months - you are doing well

when I was where you are, I'd lost 28 lbs (16 lbs the first month,12 lbs the second). I was a slow loser the whole time, but I ended up losing over 200 lbs. Everyone's rate of weight loss is different depending on so many factors (age, gender, starting BMI, metabolic rate, etc). Your commitment to your program is going to have a MUCH greater impact on your eventual success than your rate of weight loss will, though. So just stick to your program, follow the rules, and the weight will come off, either fast or slow.

I've lost 53 total, but only 33 since surgery on 12/12. I'm a slow loser always, and I am now in a weight that my body really likes, so I'll have to work HARD to get the last 35 off!!!

I think you're doing great! Since my surgery, which was 3/20/18, I've lost 162 pounds. That's less than 15 pounds a month. Don't get discouraged. It all adds up!

2-3 lbs a week is a really good rate.

The slower you lose with exercise and toning, that less likely you will need skin surgery. I lost quickly at first, then plateaued and all of a sudden all the excess weight was gone. I have skin, but not enough for insurance to cover. You are doing well.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
