Hello everyone!

I had surgery 12/21 and weighed 344 so far as of date I have lost a total of 34 lbs but its 30 overall because for some odd reason I keep gaining 3-4 lbs. I exercise daily for 30 mins or more and just started recently including strength training for toning. I had my first fill 1/21 and he advised I only had a 2.6 cc fill. I have noticed a marked increase in my appetite and of course no weight loss but that pesky 3 lbs ill lose and then gain right back. I weighed 312.2 and by Wednesday Of the next week weighed 315.5. And then ill lose 1 lb then gain 1 lb and so on and so on.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem? Any advise or concerns are welcomed.

Current pre-op wt 344 down 314.4

If you are tracking calories and measuring portions and sticking to 1000 to 1200 calories each day the loss will come... Sometimes the body needs to take time to adjust. Also women will notice during their cycle that we sometimes show a gain so as long as you are doing everything right just hang in there...it will come off.

Best of luck!!

Thank you. Actually I'm doing 1500 calories a day. I never meet the caloric intake. I'm usually below it by 400-700 calories.

I don't have regular cycles and I was really hoping that was the issue. I still get the symptoms without the rest. I'm still holding on. Thank you for responding to my post!!

I found if I dropped below 1000 I wouldn't lose that day... I have no idea why but it seemed to work out that way. Maybe do your best to try to get in at least 1000 and see if that helps. And don't forget the Water....it's very important

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
