Just wondering how much a person should loose a month now after 8 months out. The last 2 months I lost 21 lbs. My doctor said I should be slowing down by now but did not tell me how much a person should loose 8 months out.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Wow! You are loosing fast! Me, I lost fast from surgery date to end of December, since then, not so much, I"ve been on a stall since January, only losing 6 months from Jan. to March. I think something's wrong with me. But I'm amazed by your weight loss, what's your food intake on average?

My food intake is so so bad. lost my appetite at 6 months out. I eat 2 or 3 times a day. I eat for breakfast about 6 table spoons of grits. lunch to day was half a taco. dinner 3 chicken wings. I take my Vitim's and my protein drink once a day.

I use to eat 3oz of meat and that is all I can hold. now I try to eat 2oz of meat and some vegetables. When I eat now I am forcing my self to eat I am never hungry I have to watch the clock and like my doctor said eat something every 2 or 3 hours.

My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

You and I had about the same surgery dates and I am only losing between 2-4 pounds a month but I was also considered a light weight and I only have about 7 pounds to reach goal. Good luck for still losing so regularly. I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I lost 5 lbs. the last month and I've got 2 lbs. to goal. Once again, we can see that we're all different when it comes to weight loss.

I wish you continued good luck!

Blessings,

Pattie

Sounds like you're chugging along just fine! The last 21 lbs have taken me 11 weeks to lose, just under 3 mos. I assume it's age, I'm 61, but everything is going in the right direction. At first I used to compare my progress with everyone else's, which was crazymaking, and then I just calmed down and decided it is what it is, it's mine and I own it, and it's all good!

I'm losing about 10lbs a month at this point, but I keep waiting for it to slow down. I'm at 8 months now, too. Maybe it has more to do with the remaining weight to lose rather than how long it has been since surgery...
