I had my sleeve April 1, and lost 50 pounds that month. Naturally I was excited, but now the next two months I haven't lost an ounce! I know stalls are normal, but I don't think I have heard of one that lasted this long. I'm really starting to think that I am never going to lose weight!

Have you spoken with your surgeon and NUT? Also, are you logging a food diary? You may be able to go back through that to see if anything changed. I could help your NUT too to see what you're doing and try to help. It may just be a long stall too.

You should speak to your surgeon or NUT to see whats going on. I was sleeved on 4/9 and I have lost 44 pounds so you are still doing better then me :) I notice that I tend to lose weight every 3 weeks or so and nothing in between. Based on what I have read and heard mixed with my limited experience I am a believer that if you stick to your plan and meet your Water and Protein goals you will lose the weight. Good luck and please keep us updated!

Ya, I can relate OG36.

I have been in a stall for about 8 weeks now. I had surgery 3/5 and have lost 40 lbs. but that was all by the end of april. I continued to lose inches for a few more weeks, but that has stopped as well. I have increased my Water and am revamping my diet as well. Hoping to break this stall. Its getting discouraged, but I know that this can't be the end. I started exercising too. I definitely need to stay off the scale for a while, cuz its driving me INSANE. Im happy with what I have lost, would never have been able to be were I'm at with out VSG, but I was hoping for that slow continue 1 to 2 pound loss a week like every one else is getting. Feeling frustrated.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
