55lbs in 4 months is TERRIFIC. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Your brain must be behind in catching onto that!!!!! Remember your body has to catch up to the fast weight loss. If you feel you are honestly doing everything right (exercising, eating the things, using your sleeve, tracking your food, getting in your water), then just keep doing it! Consistency despite slowed or stalled weight loss is key! Don't beat yourself up over it. Don't obsess over the number on the scale. Trust your sleeve to do what is meant to. Take measurements, your body might be reconfiguring itself and while your weight isn't dropping, it's redistributing or the gym is creating some new muscle. There are a lot of things that could be going on. It would probably be helpful to have more information to maybe pinpoint some new options to try!

I had surgery March 19th & I am down 56 lbs. yes I want to lose more, but if we lost it any faster it wouldn't be good on our bodies. Keep up the good work!

I had my sleeve surgery 5 month ago as well and I've lost 48 lbs. I went 2 weeks with no weight loss back in June. I was freaking out at the thought of having plateaued so soon. But, i kept doing the right things. Soon after the weight loss resumed. My weight loss has been gradual. Maybe more so than most. Everyones body is different. As long as i keep losing I will forever be grateful for this procedure. Im sure that you will start losing again. Give yourself some time. Gradual weightloss does have some advantages. I've been able to maintain much more of my skins elasticity and I'm in my mid-forties.

Sometimes you can break a stall by having a higher calorie day or treat to "trick" the body. The next few days, weight starts coming off again.

I agree with Dez with have a trick the body day. Also check and really count your Protein just when you think you are getting enough you just might not be. I was at a stall for a very long time and had to go on what I call a protein binge and eat nothing but protein all day for a few days kicked in and I dropped 8lbs that week.

      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! 😞
