Stuck at current weight



Recommended Posts

Has anyone become stuck at a weight? I was steadily losing one pound every couple of days, and it has now come to a fast halt with no explantion on January 17. Which I thought at the time was not a big deal, as I had my first fill scheduled for January 19. I did Protein Shakes for the day of, and the next day after the fill. Which I really thought would allow me to lose at least a pound or so.

So it has now been over a week, and it is pretty crushing, since I have stayed true to the 4 oz three times a day, with the only snacking being once a day I eat a piece of fruit, like a banana. Now even started working out with a personal trainer this week. My weight is not budging... :(

Any suggestions???

Banded 12/20/10, lost 18 lbs since pre-op visit...pre-op weight- 201 lbs (after doing the 6 month weight loss required by my insurance.) Current weight 184

Sometimes it just takes your body awhile to readjust to your new eating habits. Hang in there, the weight will start dropping off again. Also, I noticed as soon as I started a regular exercise program, the weight started coming off even better.

Are you sure you are getting enough calories in? Stoke the fire a little....up your calories (smartly) for a few days and see if it starts coming off again. And true, it does take your body a little bit to catch up. And I am not sure how tall you are ....but 184...the lesser you weigh it seems the harder to come off (IMO). I have been wrestling with the same four lbs since the holidays....Good luck.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
