Anyone starting to get a slowdown in their losses?



Recommended Posts

So I've lost 123 lbs so far, and I'm very happy with my progress. However the last few weeks I've been stuck at 306-308 and very frustrating being so close to back in the 200's. I've been to my NUT and she said I'm doing great with the diet, and I've even been hitting the gym a lot more recently yet no move in the scale. I had thought I'd keep losing at a good pace for at least the first year. I'm curious if anyone else has been experiencing this and if it's a sign that things are going to get much harder from here on out.

Don't stress. I'm 3 1/2 post op. your likely to hit a stall along the way. If your going to the gym even just doing cardio can gain muscle which will weigh more. (Keep in mind in the long run muscle buts fats). If your doing everything right... Just keep it up and maybe try to get some extra Water in

I lost that much in about 5 months, and the last 2 weeks I was stuck. Figures as soon as I post this I start losing a lot again, so now I'm at 299. Nice to be back in the 200's, so I guess it was just a plateau, but down 130 lbs so far.

      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.

        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... :(
