susiegotsleeved 1 Posted June 1, 2012 Ok so I am officially 2 1/2 months out and I have lost 34 pounds, I know it's good and all but I thought I would have lost more by now being that I can hardley eat more than a few bites of anything, any reasons why this is happening, and what can I do to pick up this slow pace. Open to suggestions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliandrews 98 Posted June 1, 2012 Hey, I think you are doing great. I lost 21 lbs my first month and probably lost about the same lbs as you by 2 1/2 months out. Right now I am 66 lbs down, so you just need to keep doing what you are doing. It will come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gastricsleeve4me 186 Posted June 1, 2012 That sounds great! I've definitely seen a common trend of about 20-25 lbs first mo, then 10 a mo after (for me considered to be doing really well)...so seems on track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKambalimath 92 Posted June 1, 2012 I feel really discouraged as well. Was sleeved on 4/25 and have lost 28lbs. Every time I get on the damn scale it doesnt move or its moved .something. Ive tried upping my calories and started going to the gym, but I was really hoping to at least lose 30 my 1st month. At this point I'm almost regretting my surgery again. A few wks out I felt the same way but then I started getting a little more upbeat, but cant help but question whether I did the right thing when I cant even lose 30 in a month and a half Everyone on here says these emotional swings are normal though, so I guess we just have to keep at it!

I definitely feel your pain with eyeing that scale and trying to will it to move but you had surgery for a lifetime, so don't get too down yet! In a year you'll look back and go, wow, I look soooo different!! 1 MKambalimath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
