Weight loss stand still..



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 12/10. So far I've lost about 25lbs. Losing about 2-3lbs a day. But for the past 2 weeks or so I've lost like barely a pound a week. I eat what I'm supposed to, Protein first, veggies second and I drink nothing but Water. But I haven't excercisd much. Is that my problem. I need to get in motion?

Congratulations on the weight loss. Even though it is exciting to see losses of 2-3 pounds of day, that doesn't last. None of us loses at a constant or steady rate. We all experience slow downs in weight loss and even periodic stalls.

If you are losing, even if it is 1-2 pounds a week, you are not in a stall.

Everyone does stall and most folks experience their first stall or slow down about three weeks after surgery.

Just follow your program.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended.

And, exercise.

Embrace the Stall!

You've lost 25 lbs in a bit more than a month. That's fantastic progress! Getting in motion is always a good idea. Keep on keeping on, you'll be fine!

I was sleeved on 12/8. For the first two weeks I was losing quickly. However I have slowed down to about a pound or two a week myself. At first when the slow down came I was a little bit upset, but after I thought about it two pounds a week was more than I was losing with traditional dieting and I figure that is still eight to ten pounds a month.I started to increase my exercise and last week I lost three pounds. Slow and stead wins the race. Hang in there you can do it :)

      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! 😞
