7 month slowdown/stall ?



Recommended Posts

Had what I think was a great 6 month post-op experience. Lost 101 pounds from the day of surgery (plus 44 pounds pre-op) then things changed.

I only lost 5 pounds in the past 30 days. Anyone else hit a wall right after 6 months ???

I hit numerous stalls! Surgery was June 2015 so I don't remember all the details but I was 20lbs down at one month, 50lbs down at 6 months, and I stayed there for a while, give or take five pounds, then was down 65 pounds at my one year. I gained 15ish back after putting my dog to sleep (I would have put on 40 pre surgery) and now I'm working on taking it off before my two year appointment. After that I'd like to lose another ten but will be ok if I don't. I try to focus on how far I've come, live with the plateaus, stay positive and not beat myself up. I feel better physically and emotionally when I'm doing the right things, and lousy when I don't. The subsequent weight loss or gain is secondary. I hope this helps!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
