Slow Loser

[suzjag 107]

I was sleeved on July 26th and I'm so scared this is TOO slow. With my preop I've lost 26 pounds. So many people have lost so much more. I'm really bothered by this. When I went in for my 3 week check I was on track according to my Dr.but now 3 weeks later I've lost very little more. Scared

I'm a slow loser too. Hang in there. The important thing is we ARE losing and we now have a permanent tool to keep it off. Plus, losing slowly means less saggy skin, so look at the positive.

I was sleeved July 11 th. I think you are right on track. I've lost 31 pounds. Hang in there and don't be scared.

...I am a slow loser as well but it is coming off. i lose about 1 pound a week but i am happy with that....

I've been slow going as well, but still losing and I have not gained. Even though it's been slow for me, I truly feel that I will keep going (even if slow) until I get to my goal and this tool really does prevent me from gaining back like I always have in the past.

I'm disappointed in my weight loss so far too, although it's only been a week. I have followed the program and only lost 4 lbs. Ordinarily that would seem like a lot, but given how little food I've had, I expected more. Plus if the early post op is when weight drops the quickest, not so great. My biggest fear was that I'd be a slow loser and maybe that's the way it's going to be Nice to have support though and others who can commiserate.

Same here! How much do you have to lose? I was sleeved 7/31 and have only lost about 20 lbs, but since I only have 60-70 to lose, I guess it's normal. Dr said I was on track. I hit a stall for 2 weeks during weeks 3-4 too.

Thank u for this post!!! Sleeved July 7 and down 32, now I'm stalling and it's been like 3 weeks. I know I'm doing everything right and I track everything Also. I just wish I knew how to break my stall. I've tried it all, from upping my calories, my Water, and my exercise. I'm at 218 from 250 and a size 16 from a 20, which I am happy about but I just wanna lose again. Trying to get to 155-160 so 60-70 more to go.

Hey! Just so you know, when I upped my calories to try to break the stall, my dr got so mad. Lol I told him all these people on the forum suggested it...he said not to listen to them. He did say to increase my Protein though. I think my stall broke like, the next day. I had only lost 13 lbs at that time, and he reassured me that no one ever got this surgery and only lost 13 lbs.

Lol that's funny because I said the same to my Dr. And he said stay between 6-800 calories and I told him I am, I was eating 5-600 and now eating 650-750 but I know not to go over 800.

I think 600-800 sounds about right. I was told 600 but if I have to take in more Protein, I'm assuming my calories have to increase as well. I'm just waiting to hear back from the Nut to make sure...Stalls totally suck though. I started weighing myself WAY less and that's made it easier. Tues and Sat are my scale days.

Slow and steady wins the race. My weight loss has been slow, but the change in my body has been dramatic. And, I feel awesome!!
