Just remember the most important rule about having WLS (in my opinion): Everyone loses differently. Everyone loses at a different pace, men tend to lose faster than women (just ask my wife!) and everyone's journey is not the same! It is different.

You've lost 58 pounds since your surgery (at 4 months out!) and you're down to 204! That is awesome!

As for not losing for a couple of weeks, stalls are normal. My wife had a 3 week stall and then started losing again.

Don't be hard on yourself, and don't compare how you're doing to others. Best advice I can give you at this moment. But you are doing great! Keep it up!

Eric

That's terrific! I'm exactly 50 pounds down from my surgery date. I'm 72 down with pre-op included. I'll be four months out on the 12th. Try not to compare with others. It will drive u insane. Ur doing great!

Dadto2 said it perfectly! You have lost 50 lbs, could you have lost that before getting your sleeve and keep it off? Wow, I look at 50 lbs and am totally in ahhhhhhhhh! Just keep doing what your doing and exercise. All the weight will come off in your bodies time. Enjoy the journey! :)

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

      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! 😞
