I don't understand my body???

I was losing really, really slow and once I hit around the 5 1/2 month mark, I started to lose faster. Does this make any sense? I thought that is when you really slow down? I am down 91lbs and am really excited. I still have at least 30 or 40 more to go but I am feeling better everyday. Has anyone else experienced this?

Heather, You know I have not had this experience yet but I just want to say AWESOME . I think you are doing great. You have gone through so much that it is probably just your body catching up. You will reach your goal of that I am sure. There is that patience word again......you remember the one I don't understand!!! Happy Holidays and I will be sending you that recipe. Linda

Hi Heather, nice to see you posting, and I'm excited for you. What a great job you are doing I never really heard that you slow down at 5 1/2 mo. I certainly hope not since I'm there right now. I've been loosing around 3 # a week. I guess it doesn't matter what you loose when as long as you're loosing I'm so glad you are doing so well Keep up the good work and I know you will be a success. You're already one in my book. Happy Holidays to you and your family Mary Lou p.s. It was nice to spend time with you at the New London meeting maybe we can do it again

Way to go..... I have no idea about slowing down. I am 8 days post op. I do understand about losing fast. I lost 10 pounds this first week alone. I can't wait to be 5 1/2 month out.... Great Job. Keep up the good job. 3 Cris Bonilla 12-10-03 Lap Band

Heather, I have had some strange slow downs and pick-ups in weightloss also. I loose nothing for 5 or 7 days then drop 3 or 4 at once. Very strange. I think it is just our bodies working its way down. Can you believe you can say 30 or 40 more to go. Congratulations Dave

Hi Heather, That is wonderful news! 91 lbs gone forever I'm pretty sure we lose well for at least 1 year, so I'm not surprised that at 5 1/2 months you are losing more than before. Like Linda said, your body went through a lot - its time now that its feeling better, to begin catching up! You are doing great! Keep of the wonderful work! God Bless, Kathy Bilodeau
