Very slow weight loss



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am new but had my surgery 8/13/14. 6 months out and 84lbs down. I have been loosing weight very slowly during past months. 5 lbs in the last month and 1lb in the last 2 weeks. I have been eating more protien the last month and exercising the last 2 weeks. Just frustrated and scared of my weight not going down.

How much more weight do you need to lose? Are you close to goal?

I know for me, it was not an even amount if weight I lost every month. Some months it was only a few lbs but I would lose a dress size. Just keep measuring your food and concentrate on Protein and drink plenty of Water. You've got this!

My surgery was 9/3 and I'm only down 63lb. It has been slowing down the last month or two. I'm hoping it picks back up soon.

Hi I have 73lbs more to go. I do feel my clothes getting bigger but just scared the weight loss can stop. I have yoyo dieted since I was 8yrs old and just scared I can gain or not loose anymore.

Thanks for your feed back. It is hard talking to people who aren't going through this. It helps me see that this is happening to others and probably normal. Even though it frustrates us :)

I'm just past 4 months and have lost on average of 2 pounds a week. My doc says I have slow metabolism.

As the weight loss slows use this time to solidify good habits that will follow you for your new life. This is a marathon not a sprint and you need this time of adjustment. Continue doing what you know is beneficial for your health and wellbeing and your goal is attainable.

Hang in there, you are not alone. I am so frustrated with the scale that I try not to make it a factor anymore. My clothes are falling off me and I am so much happier than I was before surgery.

I am just trying to stay healthy and patient.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
