I wouldn't worry, this is just a stall. I went through some weeks with zero loss, only to turn around and have great results the following week. Keep doing what you know to do, i.e. stay active and eat smart...the lbs. will drop.


By the way, 42 lbs. in 53 days is phenomenal! Give yourself a little credit! :D


Good luck!

I don't think your doing anything wrong 42lbs is a lot and you should be proud, just keep following your drs plan and try not to worry about to much about the scale, focus on how your clothes fit looser and how much more energy you have.

That's more than 20 lbs a month. As my nutritionist said to me when I brought up the same concern....when was the last time you were able to lose X lbs in a month. Yup...my response was never. Put it all in perspective for me. You are doing fabulous - I hope I can do as well as you at the two month mark

I am right there with you. Sleeved April 14th and thought the fat would just fly off my bones. Weighed 251 the day of surgery and 223 today. I am pretty strick with myself. 800-1000 caloried a day. 1 Protein shake for Breakfast - cottage cheese for lunch and grilled chicken and veges for dinner. I usually have low fat cheese as a snack in the evening. I also like cucumbers for some reason. I wish they could really figure out what causes some people to lose quickly and some to lose slowly. I also have hypothyroidism and take .2mcg replacement a day. I'm sure that doesn't help.

You guys are doing way better than I am.was sleeved 4/15..starting weight day of surgery 242lbs. .As of today. .down only 17 lbs. .so I'm losing extremely slow. Have hypothyroidism. .tired of stressing about the slow weight lost. I guess it will come off when it's ready. Body is holding on to every fat..especially since eating low calories. .keeping fingers crossed. That the surgery will work.

The surgery has to work. The math is there. Calories in - calories out = weight loss !!!

      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... :(
