    Default Help my weight loss is slowing to almost nothing.

    I am down 120 pounds I had surgery in May so the first 6 months I lost 100 pounds but now I am lucky to get 5 pounds a month. I was wondering if a liquid died for a week might help. Idk just want this last 40 pounds off so I can start looking into getting this extra skin removed its horrible! I am happy with my weight loss so far but the skin is horrible the thought of my fiance seeing me naked makes me sick. I want to get to goal but the last two months I have barely lost anything!

    Jeana, I was sleeved a few days before you and I've lost 70 lbs since surgery.....you're doing amazing!

    But yeah, the wt loss slows significantly after the "honeymoon period". Just look at the signatures of the folks who are further out than we are. Totally normal to slow down to 2-5 lbs a month at this point.

    Okay good I have been working so hard at the gym 3 hours 5 days a week and I was stressed that it wasn't coming off. I thought I was eating to much or something.

    I had more to lose I started at 350 so I lost faster this last 50 is really hard. I would settle for 40 more I have a lot of extra skin I want removed so that will take more weight off. 55 is good!

    Working out will cause your body to hold fluid, not to mention the wt of whatever new muscle mass you might be adding. So, if you're not gaining wt, you're prob losing fat and gaining lean tissue

    Your weight loss is amazing!!! Don't beat yourself up! You have lost more in 7 months than most people are able to in a year! Now it is natural as you get closer to your goal that the weight is harder to lose and is going to come off slower. But keep working and you will get there. You have been so successful I just cannot see a scenario in where you don't meet your goals!

    I agree with the others, you have done so well! Hang in there. I am about 2.5 months post op. So early days still for me but I have experienced two stalls of about 7 days and 11 days. It was really frustrating. I search on the forum for stalls and read posts by Tinman, Kindle and others. Ann2 always post straight talk and motivation, that helped me too so I go re read her posts to help me. From reading post on stalls, I checked my protein intake and I was low. I was also low on water intake. I do right down what I eat but had not really reviewed it and analyzed it. I upped both protein from about 50g a day to 80g and water form 30 or so oz to 80 oz and broke my stall each time. Ok so you might say why did I have a second stall, well I got into a comfort zone of eating cottage cheese, yogurt occasional ground turkey/chilli I made and not much else in the way of protein other than several skim milks a day. I got behind on water early in the day and we know how hard it is to catch up on fluids if you get very far behind in the day. I now keep rotisserie chicken pulled off the bone in a bowl in the fridge and heat it up on the stove in broth. I started this week adding in more green vegetables. It has helped me break the stall. I also spent sometime this week re reading my doctors nutrition plan. All of that seems to keep me moving in a direction I want to go. I do experience hunger now when I did not early on. So having my food at the ready and eating enough of it to meet protein and water goals is my focus.

    You have done so well. I am looking to do what you did!
