Never too early / late to go back to basics. Go full liquids and work your way back to solids...
Also are you following a Vitamin routine? B12 aids in the conversion of food to energy (metabolism ) worth looking into
I also have no time to hit the gym so I wturn to music at home and throw a dance party where I literally move every part of me. Do this for 4 songs and that's around 20mins of exercise...

I have a lot of luck eating three meals and three Snacks a day. Granted, all of these meals and snacks are only around 150- 200 calories each..but spaced six times a day...it really keeps the hungries away.
Try not to lose hope quite so soon. You had less loss than expected...over Thanksgiving and Christmas.....a time when stress and opportunities to overindulge are chronic.
Pick up some new recipes, rededicate yourself to your food journal, add a little exercise and try to keep the faith that you're still going to see some benefits of the surgery. There's time. Don't give up.

Hang in there. Add some exercise and follow what yu are doing!! It will come off!! KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE AND KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

I hear you. My motivation to get the sleeve was the same - I think I have spent my entire adult life losing and gaining the same 70 lbs.
If you are weighing and measuring and logging, maybe increase exercise. Or talk to a doc.... perhaps there are other medical issues going on.

I’m curious what you are eating vs your activity level if you are six months out. Is there a chance you are eating too little and that’s the reason you are stalled? If you are exercising and eating less than 1000 calories it’s worth considering increasing your intake as difficult as that may seem.

I'm about five months out. In the past month, I lose two pounds and then gain it back. I've lost 40lbs same as you. The one major change I've made is I haven't been to the gym since the week before Christmas due to a sprained knee. I am cleared to go back to the gym next week. I'm sure that the exercise component is the thing stalling my weight loss. I still eat the same, Proteins first, get my Water in etc. If you cant go to the gym try any activity and see if that helps to jump start your weight loss. You are right there will be a weight gain but the gain can be minimal as long as we stay on top of it. Trust the process and trust yourself.

If you look at the hard numbers....Gastric sleeve patients lose, on average, about 60-70% of their excess body weight in the first 18 months after surgery. Some lose more, some lose less.
At five years, most people maintain the loss of over 56% of their excess weight.
Statistically, this is FAR superior to dieting alone.
There's no magic bullet. It's all hard work and lifestyle changes. If you're living with a person who is unwilling to embrace those changes...it's going to be more difficult for you to make them.
Document everything in your food journal. Be vigilant about your exercise. Seek support.
Wishing you the very best.
