My wife is in the same situation. One year out, 20lbs down. She eats like a bird. Healthy and incredibly low calorie count. She did prior to surgery too. I personally don’t think she needed it, but she felt like she did. She’s pretty muscular so I think a lot of her weight just isn’t meant to come off. She has had multiple tests and specialists and other than severe anemia (a dozen Iron infusions so far and it’s barely crawling up) nothing seems to be wrong. It sucks, I know.
The worst part is when doctors and people assume she isn’t following the plan, isn’t exercising enough etc…. (How many of you reading this are making the same assumption?)
We should have known because her calorie count was sub 1000 prior to surgery, did a daily personal trainer thing for several months etc and never lost. Smaller stomach hasn’t changed much for her to be honest. One doctor told her if there was a famine she would be one of the survivors. :/ I guess the two of you could hang out if that happens.

Edit: I forgot to add that she has tried several medications that supposedly help with weight loss. Since a lot of these work by suppressing appetite they clearly won’t work in her case, but that seems to be all they can figure out to try.

Oh goodness yesssssss I follow the damn plan, I do everything I just don’t get it and it’s so frustrating!!!! Tell your wife IM HERE AND I SEE HER! ❤️

Have you had a reliable body fat test to see where you are at: you may be leaner than you think. Also, before you tried CrossFit, were you exercising? What does your diet look like? There are a lot of variables in this.

I started CrossFit about 8 weeks out from surgery busted my booty day in and day out sometimes doing CrossFit anddddd speed walking..... I get that there are a lot of variables! Trust me I follow the dang plan. I log everything I get what I need and watch my macros! I’ll post my INBODY below!

I had VSG surgery 5/2020, I stopped completely losing weight in November 2020, and I have not lost any since. I have been put on Saxenda, and Phenteramine (at different times). I fluctuate between 165-170. my height is 5'2. I stated at 210, so I have successfully lost 40 # but thats it. I am NO WHERE near where I thought the surgery would allow me to lose. I feel like a failure. I only consume about 1000 calories a day. I started CROSSFIT but have stopped since about a month ago. I'm just over it. I'm over trying I'm over the whole thing. I'm so frustrated and mad at myself for even allowing myself to have the surgery.

So my question is has anyone else been through this and if so what did you do about it and get successful results. I don't know whether I need to do a VSG to RNY conversion. I don't know if I even have that option to be honest.

For my height to be at a normal weight I would need to be at 135 but I would love to lose another 20 lbs.
