4 months post op... loss slowing

Just wondering i anyone noticed a big decrease in their loss at this point? I lost quite quickly in the begining, but now have slowed to about a pound a week. Im know this isnt' a race, and Im still grateful for loosing, but I was just looking for your experience and any tips you guys might have! Thanks:)

You've done really well and have lost double what I've lost!!

My loss has slowed to a pound a week too - and my surgeon is more than happy with that - in fact they say between 4lb and 7lb a month is a good loss and that any faster than that and you risk excess skin.

I'd rather lose it slow and steady than drop very quickly and have to deal with excess skin!

I am 4 months post op as well and my total weight loss is 19lbs. That gets me discouraged at times but I try to stay positive. I had my second fill 2 1/2 weeks ago and have not lost anything since then. I have no restriction at all... it's weird, I almost wish I wouldn't have got the second fill because I was losing with the first one. I am going to call the doctor tomorrow because it doesn't make sense.

I am 5 months post op today, and my weight loss has slowed dramatically. I don't go back to the doctor until Dec. 11, so I will make sure to talk with him about why he thinks I've slowed down. Some days I'm so tight I can barely eat anything, yet on other days, I'm so hungry I want to eat everything!

Just saying that I'm in the same boat as you! I'm not discouraged, just a bit puzzled!
