Weight loss stalled..



Recommended Posts

I had surgery April 1st and tomorrow will be my 4th week. I lost weight the 1st and 2nd week (17 pounds so far) but the third week nothing. Is there something I am doing wrong? I know when I stepped on the scale and didn't see it move I wanted to cry.

This happens to a lot of us. I'm going through it too. I'm just trying to focus on healing and feeling better. The weight loss will come! Hang in there!!

It happens between 3-4 weeks post op and can last 2 weeks. Happens to about 99% of us

I am almost 6 months post op and it has happened to me several times through out. I find if I change up what I am eating and increase my Protein it gives me a jump start and I start losing again. Make sure you are getting enough calories. Don't let your body go into starvation mode. Good luck!!!

The weight comes off sooner or later. Always remember we put on weight over the years so over night we won't become slim.

I had my surgery on March 7th of this year. I weighed 205 pounds. I did not weigh myself at all until I went for my appointment on March 25th. I weighed in at 183. I weighed myself the following week and did not lose anything. The following week after that, I went down to 173 pounds. The next week, I lost nothing and the following week I lost 3 pounds. It can be nerve wrecking..

I had my surgery April 1 st also! I have lost a total of 27 and haven't moved for days. Don't let it Bother you it doesn't me too much because we will and other folks (non wls) are gla to lose. A couple pounds in a month! My doctor said when I went to my 2 week post op that 12 was a good loss (at the 2 week mark)

      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... :(
