mxpxchik11 48 Posted April 14, 2017 I was wondering what people saw for the first month/second month weight loss. I see a lot of amazing stories after 8 month, a year etc. it is very hard to be at the beginning of this journey. I am working so hard and following the diet but I am still large. I would really like to here what some people saw and how they got through the slow points. Thanks! 1 dixonpratt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YeaMe 246 Posted April 14, 2017 I lost 23lb the first month, and just finished my second month with a loss of 11lbs. I keep my eye on the prize which I know won't happen overnight. Stalls are really frustrating - I went 3 weeks without losing a pound. Just keep up the plan you were given by your doctor and it will come off. The body just goes through adjustment periods and some can be days, weeks or even months. Remember, the weight didn't come on over a few months, or years. This is a new journey for us all and it's just not temporary. This is a good time to tweak your eating plan to see what works for you. 2 aquarius1234 and mxpxchik11 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Door 54 Posted May 10, 2017 I just hit the twenty pound loss mark today, and I am 6 weeks out. It's hard when you see people with huge losses in the first few weeks and it is coming off slowly for you. Hang in there. I stalled at -16 pounds for several days, then in the last three days I've dropped over 3.5 lbs. there just doesn't seem to be any predicting how it will come off. My food, Water, and exercise was very similar the whole time from 2-6 weeks. 1 mxpxchik11 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mxpxchik11 48 Posted July 16, 2017 So you think it's okay to stall at 15 days post op? Yes I stalked for two weeks then dropped 10 pounds. I stall like every two weeks and then lose 5+ pounds. I have most recently stopped weighing every day and focusing on the scale, I am learning that it comes off in no particular way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have most recently stopped weighing every day and focusing on the scale, I am learning that it comes off in no particular way! I am the same way. I drop 3-5 pounds and then I stall for what feels like a 1- 2 weeks. But I am still averaging -10 pounds a month. I do however weigh myself everyday, then I average it out at the end of the week to get my true weekly weight. When I do it this way I can see that what I thought was a stall is still a loss. It maybe only 1/2 - to 1 lbs, but it is a loss. That's what works for me to keep me motivated. 1 colleen 5595 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
