I'm now 18 months post op and hanky lost 129lbs (I know how stupid that sounds to anyone who isn't  post op) and have another 55.5lbs to get to my goal. 

The strange part is that at 195.5lbs I wear size 14 jeans and yoga pants usually in L and my new compression capris sports pants from Old Navy are actually size M!  My blazers are L and yet I have some sweaters and cardigans that are M, I am not understanding these sizes.... Seems way off given my weight, but then again I have to keep in mind that I have a bunch of lose skin.

Are there any other "slow losers" out there?

I'm nearly 8 months out. My weight loss at the beginning was fast and furious. But once I hit month 6 it's slowed down. I've been told I'm a light weight and not to worry. I'm unable to increase my calorie intake because of food issues, still have lots. I'm a turtle in the race, slow and steady!! I too can't understand sizes, my weight is the same as yours, I wear a 32 pants and a M or L top. I'm happy that's all that matters!

Hi I am like Robin, in the beginning lost like crazy, at about 6 months out it stalled and then after that it has been super slow, I loss like 3 to 5 lbs then it stops, I am 10 months out now and have lost like only 20 lbs in the last 4 months or so. I am scared I wont lose anymore, I mean I am not unhappy but at 5'2 I am still 157 lbs and to be in normal I need to loose another 27 lbs, not sure that will happen. I guess time will tell, I am stuck on another stall for almost a month now, I am hoping it breaks soon so i can hit the 100 lbs lost but hey what can you do. Good luck to everyone.
