Weight loss totally stalled post op days 11-19



Recommended Posts

I had gastric bypass surgery on 11/18. My pre-op weight was 252 and coming home from the hospital, I weighed 262 (I think because of all the Fluid build up). On my 10-day post op appointment, I weight 240. However, I am now 19 days post op and have lost nothing since my 10 day post op appointment. Is this normal? I'm following all of my surgeons instructions to the letter! It's so discouraging.

This was normal for me. I went plateau for a month, your body becomes use to what's going on and is holding back. Try increase your exercise a little more AS U CAN TOLERATE, then u are confusing your body with something new. Stick with your Doc orders and nutritionist, don't forget your Vitamins very important and good look on this journey.

Stalls are normal and there really is not anything you need to do besides follow the plan. Your body will ultimately realize that you are not starving to death and you will start losing again.

Dont worry and stay off the scale.

      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! 😞
