4Mths Post Revision to Bypass - Weight loss slowing down

[shoregirl75 102]

So I am 4 month post revision sleeve to bypass and my weight loss is slowing more each month. I can't help but be nervous about reaching my goal. I know.... I know..... we are not supposed to compare ourselves to others but we know we all do..lol

1st mth - 15.2 lbs

2nd mth - 10.2lbs

3rd mth - 8.0 lbs

4th mth - 4.2 lbs

I have had some stalls in there also, of course. Especially this month I stalled for over 2 weeks, hense only 4.2lbs for the month. I have lost 52.6 since I started preop diet till not so I am very happy with what I have done so far. I just really want to reach my goal of 150.

I just wonder if you guys were noticing that you were still losing at a pretty steady average each month or if it was slowing down. I still have another 33lbs to lose to meet my ultimate goal. I do realize as we get closer goal and have less to loss it will slow and may be more difficult but i just am not ready for to stop losing yet.

Those of you that are veterans did you notice a slow down only 4 months out from surgery? Or when did you start to notice a slow down with your weight loss? How close to goal? I want to take the best advantage of my "golden time" after surgery.

It sounds like you have a good grasp on the reasons why we slow down as we go (like having less to lose over all), so that's awesome, first of all. You're already ahead of many people that may not even realize that! Also, you're looking at the month rather than day-by-day, so kudos to you!

Having slow and fast months is totally normal. Even a slow month is kind of a plateau. Being 4 months out, your body is still healing, so there is still going to be inflammation that causes your body to hang on to fat a little longer for fuel to heal.

As long as you are moving, staying on plan with nutrition and vitamins/supplements and getting in your Water, you should be fine.

I remember having those same thoughts then suddenly having a loss shortly after. Keep us updated! [emoji175]
