the-Russ 91 Posted March 5, 2014 I used to think I was losing to fast and it worried me. Now, I am losing slower and I am not worried, but I wonder if this is normal. Im 8 months and I have lost around 80lbs. In the last month I have lost 8lbs and only 1 of those is in the last week. Is this normal? Is there something I need to do?

Blondiee 278 Posted March 5, 2014 No, you're not stalled. You stated you lost 8 pounds last month... From what I've read on the boards, there is no "normal" when it come to how much weight a person may lose per month. You're doing an awesome job and congratulations!!!!!

ASKSARAH - Sleeve 256 Posted March 5, 2014 a stall is no loss of weight or inches in over 30 days. It irks me when people use this term so loosely. You are fine, Let your body do its thing. Congrats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the-Russ 91 Posted March 5, 2014 It irks me when people use this term so loosely. Glad I could participate in your daily dose of frustration. Notice the "?" mark in the title? It irks me when people are irked over a simple question. 4 CoffeeGrinDR, Sabredy12, capecoralgrandma and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the-Russ 91 Posted March 12, 2014 It has been a week and my weight goes up and down about an lb, but no loss. I understand that my concern is a bit "frustrating" to some, but I really do want to know if I am doing something wrong? I am 216lbs and I have been there 217-216 for two weeks. I am not sounding an "ALARM" because I am happy. However, if I am not doing something right and need to make adjustments, I need to know. Has my body perhaps gone into starvation mode?

pancake1271 57 Posted March 15, 2014 I am in a big stall! I had my band to sleeve revision January 13 2014. I have only lost 13 since then. That was in the first 2 weeks that I lost the weight. I haven't lost anything else. I am on a full normal diet and haven't had any issues with any food, except bananas, they make me sick and i throw up if i eat one on an empty stomach. I don't do much for exercise right now but going to start a kickboxing class next week and now that the weather is starting to get nice I can go out and start running. Hopefully that will get the scale moving for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klelly1 20 Posted March 16, 2014 i was in a stall too and had the nutritionist analyze my food logs i was eating a very balanced and healthy diet, and getting enough Protein without Protein Shakes ( after surgery the protein literally made me gag ) she suggested i concentrate more on protein and lower the carbs even though they were healthy carbs . so basically.go.low carb higher protein. so i did and it worked , i started losing again. imstead of eating a little meat and then the vegetables and starch i eat all the meat and leave no room for anytghing else. i was concerned about eating more balanced but the nutritionist and the surgeon agree that as long as you are getting enough protein dont worry about eating the other stuff, just worry about protein while you are in the losing phase of this journey . for me its do able most of the time so im giving it a whirl.

the-Russ 91 Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks for the Advice. This is definitely a journey and there are a lot of changes... I have been losing, but a LOT slower than at the beginning. I think I am ok with that as I need to stop at some point and I would like my skin to get a little tighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
