2 1/2 Months Out, Haven't Lost But Haven't Gained



Recommended Posts

Hi all... I'm new to the forum, I hunted a talk group down to find out if anyone else has had the same problem.

I'm 2 1/2 months out from my sleeve. I lost 48 lbs in the first 2 months. I haven't gained any weight the last 2 weeks, but I also haven't lost any. I've been very bad at getting in my 64 oz of Water, and I haven't been taking my Protein shakes like I was because the milk doesn't like me.

Has anyone had the same problem of getting stuck? I've just started over the last couple of days thinking that it has to do with maybe my body hoarding Water since I haven't been drinking enough, or even getting enough Protein if my body needs it to get my metabolism going.

Thanks!

Yeah, I have had a 2 week stall before. It sucked but I got over it and started losing agian. Just get back to basics with your eating, fluids, and Protein. It also helps to work out if your not. That always helps me to break a stall.

Stalls are common, there is alot more going on than just weight loss, and a lot more that can be retained other than fat.

Drink your Water in any way you can - Jello, popcicles, flavored water.

Get a protien drink that does not require milk and is lactose free - unjury is a good choice in my opinion, or look for a grocery store that carries Mootopia (HEP and Central Market does here) it is a 1/2 sugars, lactose free, protien enriched milk.

Get in some form of exercize daily - see if you can't find something you enjoy, if you don't like the gym.

sleep - on a regular schedule, it is more inportant to this process than alot of people realize...people with irregular sleep patterns, sleep disorders, etc. are more likely to be overweight, less likely yo lose, and much less likely to keep it off.

Get a tshirt that is tight, and try it on, and put it away for a couple of weeks, and then try it back on. even if you do not lose it will fit better - you lose inches even when you do not lose pounds.

Oh my... I thought at first you were saying you had the surgery 2 1/2 months ago and hadn't lost ANYTHING... but just the last couple of weeks? From what I understand, a stall, or plateau is normal... Are you exercising?

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
