I am 2 months post op VSG and only losing 1 pound per week (my weight loss has been slow like this since day one)?

At two months after a sleeve gastrectomy, you have lost about 25 pounds from your surgery weight, which is roughly eight percent of your body weight. While you feel the pace is slow, this actually falls within a normal and healthy range of expected progress at this stage. Weight loss after bariatric surgery is not always rapid and linear—many patients lose in spurts, with periods of slower loss or brief stalls, followed by renewed progress.
There are several possible reasons why weight loss may appear slower. Starting weight, age, gender, metabolic rate, hormonal factors, and even genetic differences all play a role. Because your diet is protein-focused, calories are very restricted, and your exercise is consistent, you are already meeting the core recommendations. In some patients, the body adapts to early rapid changes by slowing metabolism temporarily, which can make loss appear slower despite strict adherence.
The key is to remember that bariatric surgery is not a short-term fix but a long-term process. Most patients achieve the majority of their weight loss within the first 12 to 18 months, and one to two pounds per week is still safe and sustainable. Your progress should be measured not just by the scale each week, but by steady downward trends, improvements in health, and non-scale victories.
I recommend continuing to work closely with your bariatric team, as they may suggest small adjustments in diet composition, exercise variation, or additional support if progress remains slower than expected. For now, your results are within the expected range, and with consistency you should continue to see meaningful change in the months ahead.
