6 Months out- is this considered slow loss?

My pre-surgery weight was 368lbs. Surgery was on 8/27 and today I weighed in at 292.2lb. Total loss of 76lbs...That seems slow for my high start weight?

Sounds great to me!!

Some people just naturally lose slower than others.  I think 76 pounds in any length of time is awesome, personally :)

However, if you're wanting to examine your progress to see if you could improve, a little information would be helpful:

1) what does your surgeon's plan say for calories, carbs, and protein? 

2) are you following that plan?

3) are you exercising? 

4) are you getting your fluids in?

5) how much sleep are you getting?

6) do you have any medical conditions that may be affecting your metabolism?  If so, are you managing them?

Again... I think you're doing great.  Those questions are only for you to think about if you think you could, and want to, lose faster.  And I really just add them more as a reminder of the importance of staying on plan than as a way of critiquing you, if that makes sense.

Edited to add: keep in mind that this is not supposed to be a race!  Ultimately, your body will lose at the rate it needs to lose at, as long as you are doing your part.  

that's over 10 lbs a month..sounds good to me, too! :)

I think that's a great loss, I am almost 9 mos out, I started at 310 and I'm only at 238.  So that's 72 lbs for me.  Congrats though.

10 pounds a month! thats awesome!!!!!!!!!

keep up the excellent work and don't discourage yourself, this is not a race its a lifelong journey

take care of you....

thanks...but, I am only loosing weight 2 weeks out of the month. I only loose the two weeks after my period. Its very frustrating. Almost 40lbs of this came off the first 6 weeks..so the monthly average is less than it seems

Sounds like you're a typical "stair step loser."  It's a pattern that is more common in women.  It means just what you said... you lose for a couple of weeks, and then nothing, and then lose more, and then nothing. 

You really are doing great!  If you started a thread about step losing, I bet you'd find you're definitely not alone in that pattern... just know that it's completely normal for some.  You'll get there.

There are lost of us who are stair step losers, just keep doing what you are supposed to do, it will come off. Also, notice what happens with your clothes when you are in a pause. I bet that is when you are losing inches. Don't worry, it's normal.

Another thing to consider: Now that you've lost quite a bit of weight, maybe it's time to reevaluate how many calories, carbs, and proteins you take in? Do you have a nut you can consult to see if you need to make some adjustments?

congratulations on how far you've come!
