JUST NOT LOSING :(



Recommended Posts

Today I am one month post-op and have only lost 17 pounds. !4 of that was lost in the first 14 days after surgery so in the last 2.5 weeks i have only lost 3 pounds. It is very discouraging as little as I am eating. Just dont know what to do.

Everyone is different. Just make sure you are hitting your Protein and fluid goals and try to be patient. Good luck

Walk at least 30mins a day don't rest on bed for more than 8hrs if you feel exhausted just sit straight on the couch for some time don't loose your confidence you can do it !!!!!

If you look around the forums you'll see lots of posts referencing the "week 3 stall" where it's not uncommon for the body to just go WTF and stop losing weight for a couple weeks while it sorts everything that's happened out. During my stall I put on a couple pounds even though I was eating about 600 calories a day (and I weigh over 300). Sounds to me like what you're experiencing is normal, so don't worry, it'll pass.

Just keep doing what your doing... Your doing fine. Your body is losing inches right now. I always say, sit back and enjoy the ride...The weight will come off. Oh, and keep your diet low carb with lots of Protein. :)

i know how you feel. I was doing great and went back for my post-op 4 weeks and 2 1/2 months and hadn't lost anything :(. It was very disheartening but I know I am losing inches and doing the right things. I have decreased my carbs to see if that is the problem. Just stay strong. Your body is adjusting to new way of living and just needs time. Good luck on the road to better health.

What does your diet, Water consumption and exercise look like? What times of the day are you eating? How many carbs are you eating? How many grams of Protein are you eating daily? What is your starting BMI and weight? All these questions are designed to identify possible areas to improve in.

      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.

      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! 😞
