I am 19 weeks today and only at a loss of 32#. My dr was disappointed, saying I should be double that? Wow really?:(

I'm just tired all the time and still have bad nausea with Vitamins to the point I usually puke them up. So aside of the monthly B12 shot I get, I'm guessing the Vitamins issue is contributing to my lack of energy?

I take two daily RX for the acid reflux and chew tums a lot, and still nothing I eat is satisfying due to the acid indigestion.

I'm just not progressing as I'm told I should be and it's frustrating and discouraging. I know eventually I will keep losing because I'm not eating half what I used to but who knows when it'll be enough to see and feel a real Difference.

Well, how much do you need to lose? Maybe you are just a slow loser, which can be great in preventing lots of saggy skin. I would be calling the doc about the tiredness and nausea, you shouldnt have that at 19 weeks out, I havent had any tiredness since 3 weeks out. Are you eating enough, drinking enough Water? I find when I stall, changing the amount of food I eat seems to break the stall. Good luck to you.

Try increasing your calories. If you can, it will help you to lose more. You may not be eating enough for your body to let go of more pounds. It is really hard to do but I've found that the scale keeps moving if I try to get in at least 800 calories. Sometimes I know I don't make that and I will have a stall. Hope you feel better soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
