Im 6 weeks post op and as of yesterday im only down 23 lbs?! ???? what the heck?! Ive been doing everything im suppossed to be doing and walking. About to start going to the gym. Other peoples success stories i read theyre like 60+ lbs down by their 6 week mark. Im so frustrated with this plateau. Its so stressful i feel like i havent even lost any weight i feel the same. Like did my dr perform this surgery right?! Lol my bestfriend keeps telling me "you didnt gain all this weight overnight so dont expect to lose it all overnight!" Yea yea i know i just feel like im not where im supposed to be and i dont know what to do uugghhh ???????? sorry. just had to let that out. ????

Don't be upset it takes time my doc said if I'm not losing go back to stage 1 diet I'm oh hell no but there are days I drink my protein drink and water or 50/50 water & crystal light. I'm 5 wk post op & lost 22 lbs. I don't feel it's much but I am happy & it's staying off I'm just walking hoping nxt week gym time I just started back to work last week.

GOod luck

I'm 7 weeks and I've lost 25 since surgery. I did lose 15 prior surgery. So a total of 40.

You're losing almost 4 pounds per week. I think that's great. ????

I have noticed that I lose more when I get 80-100 grams of Protein and my Water. I almost always meet my protein goal of 60-80 however it's difficult to exceed that.

Sure I get discouraged but I know that I'm doing exactly what I'm suppose to do and I've never lost 25 pounds in 7 weeks before. Thankful for every pound lost.

Good luck! You will lose it.

Weight loss from RNY gastric bypass surgery is due to portion control. So if you are doing everything the doctor ordered (meal volume restrictions, Protein, Fluid, and Vitamin requirements, along with exercise) then the weight loss should happen. Give it a little more time for the magic to happen.

As your meal volume increases the more you are post-op, you will have the opportunity to shift off your protein supplements (protein shakes) if you concentrate on consuming high protein meals. Your protein requirement is the amount of protein from protein supplements combined with the amount of protein from meals. (So refigure you total protein intake whenever the regiment alters the meal volume.) This will reduce the calories that you are consuming with the Protein shakes and that can allow your weight loss to continue without stalling out.

The dr told me everyone's body reacts to this surgery differently... You may not lose alot right away, but if you do everything right it will come off I just started my journey but I have been doing ALOT of research

Follow the plan you were given. It may be best to stay off the scale for awhile. Everyone is different. It will come off.

I am 15 weeks out and I have lost 52 pounds. I generally lose 1-2 pounds per week

Lol my bestfriend keeps telling me "you didnt gain all this weight overnight so dont expect to lose it all overnight!"

LOL it's like yeah but no really, the weight IS supposed to just melt off me in the beginning lol

I'm down 40 lbs 6 weeks out. If that's not melting off idk what is.

I'm sorry don't get discouraged. You'll get there. Maybe need a jump start, ask your doctor how.

You and I are in a very similar situation. Tomorrow is six weeks for me, and I've lost 26 pounds. I completely understand your frustration and discouragement. We can only do what we're supposed to do and hope things get better. Regardless, the weight will come off and it will all be worth it, I'm sure of it. We both just have to keep thinking about that, and take care of ourselves in the meantime. Message me anytime if you want to talk/rant/commiserate.

It depends on ur body and depends on the weight u were before the surgery also the bigger u are the more u will loose at first, just keep doing what ur doing it will pay off.
