I am losing slow but then I don't exercise enough and sometimes eat the wrong foods. I am not worried as long as I don't gain. I have been about the same weight for 3 months and my doctor is fine with that, too.

How do your clothes fit? Mine get bigger and that is a loss.

I think mine is slow, but I figure a slow loss is better than no loss. I've lost 40 pounds in 7 months.

I've lost over 55 lbs in 8 months.i'm a slow loser according to my primary care physician. He is not happy with my weight loss at all. I'm thrilled because it may be slow but it's going down. I keep telling myself slow and steady wins the race.

Are you serious?!?!? He really said that he's not happy? He needs to reevaluate his expections....and most importantly, his motivation skills....just my opinion. Keep up the great progress!

I'm sure your "numbers" have changed.... What does he say about that?!! Like the other BANDit said ^^^^ he should do a better job at motivating and encouraging you. Tell him we said that!!

I have lost 57 pounds in 8 months. Hoping to lose 23 by the end of the year. It is so slow 1-2 pounds a week. My doctor is happy with my progress.

I am also losing slowly. It can be frustrating but I am not ready to give up or give in! Trying to make all these changes so they stick for the rest of my life. Learning to change the way I eat, the things I chose to eat the times I eat them and the reason I eat them.

All those things take some time to learn and adjust to, and my body is just as much a rebel as my mind is!

There are days I think it just holds on to that fat like it's gonna lose its best friend, only it's a toxic friend that has never and will never serve it any good.

I limit the calories, I work it out and it responds about as positively as my kids do when I tell them they have to do something. Eventually it gets done, but I have to keep hammering away at it.

slow and steady will prevail in the end.....larger people can lose more....no idea why just happens.....but 2 pound loss for you is the same 2 pound loss for me....so take it as its coming off and go atta girl to yourself

I was a slow loser. I think it's best because u aren't prone to eat as much and your body truly adapts to eating smaller portions which will aid in you keeping your weight off longer.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
