Anyone else slow loser like me?

28 pounds since 07/17/06....

40 pounds since 7/13 - my doctor says that's less than his average. Since I went 3 weeks without losing weight I guess I'm not a slow loser. Have you had stalls - or are you consistently losing weight? My doctor tested my metabolism when I wasn't losing and told me to eat a more when I hit a stall because I actually have "faster than normal" metabolism. That was quite a surprise!

I felt like a slow looser too. Then I took the batteries out of the scale and found someone to take my measurements. Man, did I feel better after that. How are your clothes feeling? Getting to the point you just want to throw them away because they are so baggy? Enjoy that feeling! Try not to be discouraged by the scale. I have ALWAYS hated mine, and even though I am loosing now, I still hate it. Remember and scale is not a woman's best friend. Good luck and congrats on being a LOOSER, even with slower loss. ~Diana

Yep, slow loser here as well-- July 25th and have lost 28 pounds since. Just wondering, if you are a lightweight like me-- which means you had around 120 pounds of excess weight to lose? If so, the 'lightweights' always lose slower than the average WLS patient and shouldn;t feel bad! Though it is frustrating. ;)

39lbs since 7/7/06 I have had up to two weeks of stalling at one time. Currently have not lost anything in the past week but week before I lost 7lbs. Who knows? Just glad to be losing and my clothes are getting looser.

Yep, I am definitely a slow loser. I had a 3 week stall last month, which did not help. My clothes are not fitting any differently, either, and I'm having to work at not getting discouraged BUT even slow loss is loss, and maybe it means that our skin will have time to keep up so we won't be quite so saggy and baggy . . .

you are losing faster then any other diet,,,so your body have to catch up,,,,they told me when your not losing wieght you are losing inches,,,,,if you havent measured your self yet do that ,,,and again when you think your not losing ,,,,your body has to catch up with the weight,,,your doing fine,,everyone is different,,,good luck,,, remember to get in your protine and move alittle more today then yesterday,,, friends with a pouch sandy

I had my surgery on 7/31/06 and have only lost 27 lbs. I work out, but I was told to eat more. I am definitely trying. I will not give up and I have put away my scale. I think my scale is a mood scale, it weighs whatever its mood is. Lisa

25 lbs since 7/26/06. I am a slow loser but I think it might be a good thing.

OK, today is 2 months for us. How'd ya do????? Kris
