Very slow weight loss



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am new but had my surgery 8/13/14. 6 months out and 84lbs down. I have been loosing weight very slowly during past months. 5 lbs in the last month and 1lb in the last 2 weeks. I have been eating more protien the last month and exercising the last 2 weeks. Just frustrated and scared of my weight not going down.

How much more weight do you need to lose? Are you close to goal?

I know for me, it was not an even amount if weight I lost every month. Some months it was only a few lbs but I would lose a dress size. Just keep measuring your food and concentrate on Protein and drink plenty of Water. You've got this!

My surgery was 9/3 and I'm only down 63lb. It has been slowing down the last month or two. I'm hoping it picks back up soon.

Hi I have 73lbs more to go. I do feel my clothes getting bigger but just scared the weight loss can stop. I have yoyo dieted since I was 8yrs old and just scared I can gain or not loose anymore.

Thanks for your feed back. It is hard talking to people who aren't going through this. It helps me see that this is happening to others and probably normal. Even though it frustrates us :)

I'm just past 4 months and have lost on average of 2 pounds a week. My doc says I have slow metabolism.

As the weight loss slows use this time to solidify good habits that will follow you for your new life. This is a marathon not a sprint and you need this time of adjustment. Continue doing what you know is beneficial for your health and wellbeing and your goal is attainable.

Hang in there, you are not alone. I am so frustrated with the scale that I try not to make it a factor anymore. My clothes are falling off me and I am so much happier than I was before surgery.

I am just trying to stay healthy and patient.

      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! 😞
