Weird WL pattern
I was sleeved on August 9/16. Pre Surgery 303 SW 285 CW 255.
I am tracking everything, weighing and measuring too. I eat 750-800 cal/day. 85 g of protein 30-40 g of carbs, and 30 g of healthy fats. I am hungry about 90 minutes after I eat.
I seem to stall for 5-6 days and stay at the same weight. Then I go up 1 pound for a day, then I drop 3 pounds the following day. This pattern has repeated itself since week 2. Basically I'm losing 2#/week.
The WL is so slow. However, almost everyday someone comes up to me to ask if I've lost weight or to tell me I look amazing. so I guess it must be working. It's just a little frustrating that its so slow and I've been SO good! .
Two pounds a week sounds pretty awesome to me. That's 8 pounds a month on average. If you sustain that, you'll be rocking. Stair step patterns are totally normal for weight loss.

This is called a stair step pattern of weight loss. A very large percentage of people lose in this pattern -- maybe even a majority.
Weight loss per week can look erratic. If you look at it monthly, it's a little more predictable.

You are a few days short of 2 months post surgery, and are down 30 pounds? That would be almost 4 pounds a week average. 30 pounds in two months is great.

That's absolutely fantastic weight loss. I'd take 2 pounds a week these days, heh. I have my own bad habits to blame for that, though!
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much...the life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill provided but use what we have wastefully. -- Seneca, On the Shortness of Life
I'm 4 months out and this has been my pattern exactly. I lost like gangbusters the first two months and then it sloooowed down. I'm actually glad as the super rapid loss was freaking me out a little.
