Still Waiting someone HELP



Recommended Posts

Someone Help me, I'm 3 weeks post op. and hit a stand still at 12 days post op still there!! My diet as of now mainly consists of split pea Soups, healthy broccoli and cheddar Soup, eggs with cheese, Protein Shakes and diabetic yogurt and of course Water. Someone please reassure me that I'm doing everything right and for me some reassurance that I will start losing weight. I'm sick of the food I'm eating and I'm so scared I had this surgery and its not working lol and I know Rome wasn't built in a day...

I'm two weeks post op and I'm in the exact same spot you are, I have lost 17 lbs and haven't moved from there. I'm hoping that its just my body getting used to all the changes and that it will get on board with the losing weight thing we got going on now lol.

Well I'm officially down 21 pounds! But that all happened in 11 days after surgery. Then it stopped, hoping too it will adjust and jump back on the losing bandwagon. What are you eating?

Just started tuna fish and scrambled eggs today, mainly been eating yogurt and mashed potatoes. I go back to work Sunday so hopefully walking around more will also help my cause...

Almost everyone hits a plateau within a couple weeks of surgery I hit mine at 3 weeks post op. Keep following your doctors instructions. It will work, the scale will move. Make sure you are getting in all your Protein and Fluid and make sure you are MOVING. Take a walk everyday. It really helps.

You are doing great! I have hit several stalls over my 4months and when people told me "you still lose inchs even when the numbers on the scale don't change" I thought NO WAY! but I was at 185lbs and in a size 16 jeans for 3weeks. I was noticing the jeans getting a little loose every day. Finally I went to get a pair of new jeans and had to go back out and get a size 12. Wow was I surprised! I am now down to 177lbs but that 8lbs was just this week! Keep up the good work!

I stalled after 4weeks and 2 days (but who was counting?....). I just started losing last week. Just like rest of you. It will start moving. Keep moving, get all Protein and Water in!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
