I haven't had a large loss post surgery....only about 4 lbs in two months.

I'm wondering if anyone else has started off losing slow but was still successful in the long run. I have about 150 lbs to go to reach my goal, after losing 54 lbs during the presurgery withing period.

I'm two weeks into my first fill, and i don't weigh again until my next fill on June 14. I'm losing inches just not pounds.

Appreciate your advice!

Most people don't lose till there first fill. Now all thats important is healing and practicing the rules.

I lost 12 lbs the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the next 14 weeks. Then I got my 4th fill and starting feeling satisfied and ate less food. I've lost 50 lbs now since surgery and have about another 25 lbs to go.

If you're losing inches you must be exercising a lot? Replacing lost fat with new muscle cells will make it appear that you're not losing weight but you are losing fat.

if you are losing inches then you are losing weight

regardless of what the scale say or does not say

I was losing 1 lb a day, but now that I added back food, not losing so fast. It's ok. I knew it would slow down, but still sad. No fill for me until 6/19!

I lost fast at first and then have slowed down alot since my 3rd fill. Now only losing about 1 pound per week, but just keep working the program and trying to figure out what food to eat and how much to keep the weight loss going. Walking about 1 to 2 miles per day helps too. Keep up the good work.

Just wondering how you are doing now.. this is me i lose so slow that any kind of Water retention affects me on the scales.. I've seen some inches lost but that has also slowed.. my third fill is next week hoping that third time is the charm as well Bandister HELL is aptly named as i'm there right now feeling very discouraged and unhappy need to stay of the scale for a few days and just concentrate on being healthy...

      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... :(
