Let me start be saying that I am very happy with the amount I have lost to this point. I was sleeved 11/15/12 and am down 82 lbs. the problem is, I have so much more to lose and at the rate I'm losing at now it will take a VERY long time to get there. I'm stressing because I hear that most weight is lost within the first year after surgery. I'm only losing 1-2 lbs per week (sometimes less) and still need to lose 60 more. Are any of you in this situation? Should I try to go back liquids for a bit or increase calories for a bit? I hear suggestions for both, just don't know which works. Currently I am only getting 800-900 calories per day, 60-70 grams of Protein. Work out 4-5 days/week. Any advise/suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

I'm almost 6 mths out and I've lost 95 but about two months ago I started losing a lot slower, like maybe 5 lbs a month. I started taking Zija Moringa and am losing like 4-5 a week again, I'm no longer losing my hair which is why I started taking it, I no longer am on any of my meds, and I don't have to give myself B12 injections or take Vitamins, they are in moringa. I think I needed more nutrician and once I got that it put my body back on track. I was really disappointed that I wouldn't reach that 100 lb mark by 6 mths b,ut I know I'll get there. Google moringa oleifera, it's amazing! I was spending $165 on all my vitamins, supplements, etc. and now I'm spending $90 plus I've saving over $300 on the prescriptions I no longer have to take for my other health problems. :) If you email ninetynutrients@gmail.com or facebook.com/ninetynutrients and mention that your a bariatric patient, you can get it at wholesale :)

You're doing great! I'm at 5 months out tomorrow, and I'm down 72 from surgery. My weight loss has slowed WAY WAY WAY down too. I'm doing 1-2 pounds per week for a while now.
