Stopped losing weight



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, another question: I'm 3 weeks out and since leaving the hospital I was consistently losing 1lb per day, but 5 days ago I actually went up 1lb and haven't lost anything since! Feeling a little discouraged : ( anyone else experience anything like this?

Relax and breathe, everyone goes through it....also, get used to it, cuz it's gonna keep happening from time to time! I swear I think it's your body catching up with what you've done to it! Keep up the good work and it'll happen again.

Yes! I stalled at about two weeks post op and it lasted about a week. Just stick to your plan and the scale will start moving again soon. I think it's your body catching up with all the changes. Many people post about this and about 2-3 weeks post op seems to be very common.

My surgery was 6 weeks ago. I lost 18 the first two weeks. Then about 2 in 4 weeks. Ive been going up and down those 2 lbs that whole 4 week time span. I pretty much feel like I'm never going to lose. How is it possible to have this surgery and not lose. The last thing I want is to have this fail on me :(

I didn't lose a single pound for one full month after surgery, then it started dropping off consistently. I am 7 months post op and have lost 117.8 lbs.

I had a 2 week stall. I had to start working out more to lose. I'm still only losing about 2-3 pounds a week.

I'd absolutely love to lose 2-3 lbs a week! I think that is the perfect rate!

Now or then? Now I mostly feel like its snacking really. Eating about every 2-3 hours. Protein first I usually have cheese, chicken, nuts or a progestin bar. About 1/2 cup per meal. Solid Proteins keep your belly full longer so I try to stick to those. I feel like I am always eating but I still don't have hunger so I have to keep a schedule so I don't lose precious time to pack in Protein.< /p>

Yep I meant now! I've never heard of a progestin bar. I take it it's a Protein Bar? I'm looking for a good low fat low sugar Protein Bar I can start using. I'm a dental hygienist. I need to be able to have Protein Snacks that don't have to stay cold that I can have between patients.

Yes Protein....Dang phone! I use Premier Protein...30 G protein, 8 g sugar. I buy them at Sam's Club. Turkey Jerky is good too, of course right after surgery you can't have that.

      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... :(
