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.

      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... :(
