Weight loss too slow !



Recommended Posts

I wanted some feedback on your experience post up with weight loss. I'm 7 weeks out and have just lost 30 lbs. I've stuck there for about 2 weeks now and I'm getting worried at this point, even have considered calling my surgeon or primary care. I just went back to work this week and I feel great otherwise. Just wondering if I'm expecting too much too soon.

Thanks for sll the support!

Hi I think you've done really well. Although I've not had my op yet I'm thinking it all takes time and some lose quicker than others and maybe people with more to lose it goes faster like on a ordinary diet? Good luck xxx

I'm sure you feel discouraged but from what I've heard in support group this is quite normal. Your body thinks, in the beginning, that your trying to starve it so it holds on to everything. After awhile your body will relax, your hormones will level out and your metabolism will kick in and the weight will come off. For example, one last in group talked about how it took her almost 3 months before she started seeing consistent weight loss. Also, talk closely with your nut and doc. I've also heard that not getting all your Water and Protein in will cause slow weight loss. I hope this helps and you soon are back on track. Best of luck on your journey!

I don't think your lose is slow at all. I am 4 weeks and hit 23 lbs. You are averaging alittle over 4lbs a week which I think is great! Make sure you get all your Protein, maybe even up it, and all your Water. I think you are on track!

It's all normal. We all hit stalls even me. The weight will come off. Don't think about it too much.

Hi I'm new here. I had my surgery 4/22/13 I have only lost 26lbs after a month. I don't know I guess that is not so bad. I have never lost 26lbs in a month before.

Somehow I thought it would be quicker.

I told my doctor I was stalled, he told me to stay off the scale. Only weigh once a week.

I agree with your doc! 26 lbs in a month is crazy good!! That is almost a lb a day. I would be thrilled with that. Celebrate your victories and remember it is a marathon not a sprint!

      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.

      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... :(
