Weight coming off too slow



Recommended Posts

You're doing great! Don't worry. When have you ever lost a pound a day for 2 weeks?! Don't compare yourself to others, it is just not fair, and will mess with your head. Keep up the good work!

When was the last time you lost 15 lbs. in 2 weeks? Your body is recovering from the surgery so things will take a little while to normalize.

I started at a BMI of 40. SW was 209. I am almost 3 months out and have lost about 25 pounds. So I have lost about 33% of my excess weight. While this is a lower amount of loss it is the expected percentage for 3 mths out. It is so hard not to compare to others but there are so many factors that effect rate of loss from starting weight, gender, hight, and medical considerations. So I am averaging about 2 pounds a week. I am OK with this rate loss as long as I continue to trend down. Best of luck on your journey and remember to follow your plan, drink Water, move, and enjoy life.

I lost 14 lbs the first month, so I would say you are doing excellent.

I'm two weeks post op and have only lost about 15 lbs. Should I have lost more? I know I don't drink enough Water so could that be the problem?

I totally get your disappointment and frustration. My first week I lost ten and in the first month 18 which is super disappointing when you see others lose 30 in a month or 20 in a week! I struggle daily with the disappointment that I seem to be a slow loser...but 15 lbs is AMAZING in two weeks. Thats over 7lbs a week. so things are going great.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
