Very Slow Loser

[Avillias 25]

Today Im 2 months post op and have lost 29 pounds as of this morning, to me this is very very slow as before surgery when I would diet I have dropped 85 pounds in less then 3 months, I was much heavier then when I started this time but it still seems like I should be losing much faster, and the reason for the surgery is I can never keep it all off. So I was wondering what was y'alls starting weight and how much did y'all lost at 2 months post op? Thanks any answers would be appreciated.

I am 2 months also and only have lost 40lbs....I too, think I'm losing very slow. I work out 5 days a week and never tried this hard, to lose weight .... I started off at 299

I'm almost 4 months out and I've only lost 34 lbs. if that makes you feel any better, ha ha. I've been struggling the whole month of october.I thought it would be faster too.

I'm nearly four months and have only lost 46 lbs. At two months I had only lost about 25 lbs. I know we're losing slower than a lot of others, but consider the fact that so far you are still averaging more than three and a half pounds a week, every week! Slow is not a bad thing. As long as the scale keeps moving in the right direction, we're doing all right!

I haven't been sleeved yet and 30-40 pounds in 2 months sounds like heaven. On weight watchers or jc the best I ever lost was 15 the first month and maybe 5-8 pounds each month after. Its why I always quit and gained it back in about 10 minutes.

I'm losing super slow. I was sleeved on 8/21. I around 230. Today I weighed in at 207. I'm ok with that loss. I started at 253 in May and lost a lot pre-surgery. I KNOW that weight is never coming back.

I never was a big eater. Sure, I'd have my Pasta binges but I never ate near the quantity my weight looked like I was. Nobody believed me!! They thought I was a closet eater. Post surgery the docs and NUT are FINALLY believing me. We think that I am just very, very sensitive to carbs. So i try to stay less than 20, but 10 grams a day is better. W/o this surgery I wouldn't have been able to sustain that low like amount like I can now. So i'm putzing along, slowly losing and enjoying life w the knowledge that eventually i'll get to my goal weight.

I started at 281, almost 6 weeks ago and I am down 31 lbs. but never lost last week so I think things are slowing down for me as well but I am happy with each pound I lose because like everyone else is saying....I know I will keep it off because I can't eat much.

At 2 months I had lost 30 pounds and at my check up they told me it was average. I felt like it was super slow because like you I had lost more faster on previous diets. My husband just kept encouraging me that this time it was staying off. It is not what I expected but looks like I will loose about 10lbs a month. Really it's not that bad and considering that I have energy, can easily get in all needed Protein and liquids and tolerate all foods in small amounts. I also think that my age (50) and the regain from my many previous diets may have messed with my metabolism and made it slower. All the more so makes me glad I choose to go through surgery. I knew I was done with the diet failing and could not get myself to do it again.

I was sleeved July 7th and I'm down 48 pounds. Sometimes I feel like a slow one, other times I don't, I started at 250 and now 203, I think I've hit my second stall after I lost 17 pounds. I guess my body needed a break, lol.oh well as long as it comes off.
