Had my gastric bypass done February 28th. I've lost 25lbs so far. But this week I've only lost 1lb and I don't know why? I'm staying within the 600 calorie a day yet I'm not loosing anything. And this whole week I've been feeling hungry all the time! I know some of it could be related to head hunger but still, there's no reason why I shouldnt be loosing weight and feeling hungry this early on . I'm freaking out thinking that I have already screwed up and stretched out my pouch or something. Any advice would be great!! Thanks!

I had mine on the 20th of February and when I hit that amount lost I also hit a small plateau like you. Don't be discouraged. It's easy to forget the pounds won't melt off like they had been. I know I felt depressed the day I jumped on the scale and it didn't even look like I had lost anything. Give it a few days and you'll start seeing it come off again.

I had my surgery 01/11/12 and I have hit many plateaus and reminded the exact same weight for 2 weeks the dr explained that during those non loose weeks your body is loosing inches that is why it's so important to not just weigh yourself but to also measure your inches as well I measure my inches like once a month and the first month I had lost a total of 27 inches.

I have found that the weeks I have not lost weight it was sometimes because I did not get enough Protein in. I also have hit a few plateaus along the way. I know it can be discouraging but keep up with your Water and exercise along with eating right and before you know it the scale will show a loss.

Don't beat urself up...u are doing fine. I had the same thing happen to me n u will see the weight loss slow down a lot which only makes sense becuz u have about 12-18 months of weight loss after surgery...I have lost 90 pounds including my preop weight loss n I am 4 months out. And now I am glad that it is slowing down...u will be fine...everyone goes thru plateaus. :)

      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... :(
