Don't worry, when you finally start it will just drop off of you in incriments. You'll have a few stalls but you'll be ok :)

Thanks, just so excited to start and to stall right out the gate is tough. I lost 10 during my preop but nothing since. Thanks again for the encouragement.

I feel you. Surgery was July 17 and although I've lost a few, nothing like what I expected. Had numerous complications w/ the surgery and can't keep anything at all down, so my body has hit hit starvation mode :( I don't know how to get passed this.

Have you been following the post-op diet?

Sorry to hear about your complications. It's frustrating to not see the rewards for our efforts. Of course we must be patient, do we have a choice lol :). Good luck maybe we'll both drop a good amount at the same time :)

I am only a month out. I lost weight the first week, then a stall for 2 weeks. I was so surprised that it would happen so early. However, although slowly, the scale has started to move again. Don't get discouraged. The way I see it, if we eating a lot less than before, and exercising as well, in the long run, it is IMPOSIBLE not to lose weight. It has to happen as the months go by. The best that has helped me is not compare my self to others, and knowing that eventually it will happen.

That happened to me. i lost 10 pounds pre ope. then after surgery i lost 5 pounds by the 7th post op day and then i stalled. so i had to figure out what to do because that just wasnt good.

so i made some changes.

at first i was drinking my Protein shake at 10 pm and i changed that.

i started drinking my Protein Shake no later than 8 pm and if i got hungry after 8 pm i had Jello or sugar free pudding.

then instead of doing 30 minutes of walking a day i began doing 60 minutes of walking per day. since i changed up i have dropped an additional 8 pounds.

i was thinking that once i had the surgery the weight was going to just fall off but thats a misconception you have to exercise and im ok with that

Maybe tweaking a couple of things will help. Make sure you keep the carbs under control. Who knew skim milk had carbs??? Exercise more. My long walks are therapeutic. And drink that Water. I'm STILL struggling with that but the few days I hit it, the scale moved. Hang in there. We can do this!

I am 3 weeks out. I had my surgery on July 16. I weighed twice once a week & the scale never moved. I weighed again & had lost abt 10 lbs. I knw tht its impossible not to loose weight w the amt of food im eating. So dont get discourged, it will come up. Inches are coming off, i can tell in my clothes.

      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... :(
