Which surgery did you have? I know with lap band its common for slower weight loss in the beginning. Sometimes your body just needs time to adjust to what you have already lost, as well. And you definitely lose slower the closer you are to a normal weight. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I guess there are too many questions to give advice at this point...which surgery did you have, are you exercising, how are you doing on the diet, portions, protein etc... we need details otherwise it's hard to do much other than say "the good news is your still losing a pound a week which is awesome!"

50 pounds in 4 months - IS AWESOME! I am in my 3rd week after the lapband surgery. I lost a total of 20 pounds, about 15 was pre-op diet. I met with my surgeron this week and he said this is perfectly normal to slow down right after surgery because your body is in shock and thinks it is in starvation mode. He also said that once I started more solid foods, I should see the loss pick back up again.

But the main thing he told me was --- Remember this isn't Gastric By Pass, they do not want you nor expect you to drop too much weight too fast.

Slow and Steady. Hang in there and pat yourself on the back. You are doing GREAT!:flowerforyou:

I think 50 pounds in 4 months is awesome. You cant really compare your weight loss to others. We all lose at a a different pace. Sometimes the people that lose the fastest in the beginning are the ones with most to lose. I have lost 67 in three months, but most of that was in the beginning. My loss has slowed to about 1-2 pounds a week now. It is normal to plateau so I wouldnt get too upset about it. Also keep track of your measurements because a lot of times when you are not losing pounds, you are losing inches. You a doing a great job...and remember...that is 50 pounds you will never see again!
