slow weightloss

Hi moovilous,

Thank you for your reply, reminding me that any loss is a good loss no matter how small it might seem, just like you prior to surgery my weight was just going up. Good luck with your journey and thank you for the important reminder and inspiring me to continue. Take care

Wow Im pre op and reading about all of your losses is inspiring I cant wait to start the journey atm im just putting weight on and thats not a nice feeling at all.. Any loss is a good loss well done to you all and thanks for sharing your inspiring losses

Hi

My weight loss in my opinion has been slow. I am about 12 weeks post op and with 2 week optifast period 14 weeks total and I have only lost 21 kgs. I have an appt with my dietician in about 3 weeks not sure if I am doing something wrong. Must say 21 kgs is great just thought it would happen quicker as I have about 50kgs still to lose.

I've only lost 17kg in 3 months so there's a lot of people who are losing it slowly or slower even - don't stress too much :)

Hi Perthsleeve,
I wish had done as well as you. 8 weeks out I'd only lost 15kg in total.

You are doing wonderfully. Everyone's journey is different and it's very hard to compare.
Keep well,
Helen

Hi perthsleeve.

So if I understand your post you are now 8 weeks post op and you have lost 17kg in that time which is 2kg a week. I think you have done a fantastic job and you are being to hard on yourself at 8 weeks I had lost 18kg and I was thrilled. You don't want to lose weight too sat as your skin needs to catch up or it will be loose and saggy.

Good luck
Melissa

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well. I was sleeved on 31.07.12 and weight on 31.07 was 102kg.On 14.08-96kg.On 05.09-91kg.Weighed myself today-85kg. I still cannot eat bread,rice, meat and chicken must be basically shredded and minced so I am kind of eating soft,mushy foods. However I am concerned with my weightloss,it seems extremely slow and I am trying to see what am I doing or eating that is slowing the weightloss as I was under the impression I would lose weight rapidly in the first 6 months.I have soups,no fat yoghurt,feta cheese and biscuits(ritz)-love to snack.Could it be not enough exercise as I do walk around as best as I can.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am starting to stress abit about my weightloss.

Thanks so much.
