Hi

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on April 10. Since then I lost 10kgs (20 Ibs) in the first month. I seem to be stuck on 95 kgs since May.

Has anyone faced weight loss plateau in just their second month after surgery? Im eating according to the diet prescribed and no more then 1200 calories a day.

I would really appreciate other's insights or anyone else who seemed to be facing similar problem?

Thanks

Karen

Hi Karen82,

I suggest searching the forum, there are tons of posts regarding plateaus at 3-4 weeks and so on. Lots of info at your finger tips on BP!

Congrats on your first NSV! The dreaded plateau! And yes, you can expect to see several of them in your future. In the past 18 months, I've gone through so many I lost count. It's a normal part of the process as your body adjusts to your new way of eating. One thing I've learned, if I just stick with my eating plan and walking, eventually the weight loss will start again. And yes, it is frustrating as Hell to have to wait it out!

Thanks joatsaint

Its quite a relief to know Im not the only one

How long did these plateaus last for you?

Did you do anything differently to get passed by them?

I was sleeved 2/28/14, I stalled for 4 weeks In April.. Finally after the stall I lost 6 pounds in a week. It's going to happen..

what made you get past that stall Anababy?

Nothing.. TIME.

You can try going back to an all liquid diet and exercising more, but it may not work.. if it doesn't and at times it won't, don't get discouraged. That's when you look in the mirror and notice inches coming off. Your clothes fit looser. Non scale victories are pretty awesome and reassuring too.

I was a 3x a few months ago, as of Today, I'm an XL or size 16 top and XL or 18 bottom. My highest weight was 247. Today I'm 200. I'm 5'2" so that's still alot to be carrying on my petite frame. It's all in my gut, I look pregnant.

I had surgery april 9th. Ive had a stall for.past 2 weeks but Im not stressing it .I know im doing what im supposed to and itll pass. Hang In there we cant lose 20 pounds every month

I am 7 months post op and in the last 3 weeks I have only lost 2.4 pounds is this normal ?

Thanks.Marmello

Trying my best not to fret too much about it. I dont expect 20 pounds every month but a decent 3-4 pounds would certainly be nice. I guess i just want the scale to keep moving rather then being stuck
