The Weight Isn't Budging...



Recommended Posts

I have been stuck at 245-247 for 2 weeks. I am 4 1/2 weeks post op. i was 280 pre op and 260 day of surgery. Lose a pound, gain 2. Lose 2, gain a pound. It's been 1 heck of a seesaw!

But!!!!!!! I tried on some clothes that were very snug 2 weeks ago when I was still 246 and they fit now! I used to wear a size 18 jean and today I slipped ok a size 14! Just want to remind u all that even if the scale isn't moving, don't get discouraged. Tere are other ways Rolf judging an measuring :)

Wow my phone went autocorrect crazy on me. I meant size 15 not 14 and the last sentence should say there are other ways of judging and measuring lol

It's always nice to hear the reminder! I was at an almost 3 week plateau at 4 weeks post surgery. But you're right- my clothes keep feeling different even though the scale doesn't always move. Thanks for the post!!!! Keep up the good vibrations!

So I get these terrible headaches, And I just got sleeved 10/30/12, has anyone experienced the horrible headaches? I need to get some stool softeners also. When they say liquid foods after 1 week, would that be 11/06 for me, cream Soups, Mashed potatoes.

Hi! The headaches could be from the anesthesia. It can stay in your body for a really long time. As soon as you can, try to really up your liquid intake. And sometimes sitting in a steam room can help. But if they continue, please see your doc. Headaches can also be a result of high blood pressure.

Congrats on being sleeved!!

Hey skinnieminnie sounds like you're doing awesome. I stalled right before my period and now that it's started I'm losing again. I also have to eat low carb or else my weight loss stalls :/

      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! 😞
