I was sleeved 12/22.

Start weight: 303.

Surgery weight: 292.

Current weight: 278.

I've been stalled for over a week now :/

I feel like I haven't lost what I'm supposed to have lost.

Anyone else in the same boat?

My NUT and mom say my body is in shock and just trying to catch up but I can't help but be discouraged.

I'm having trouble getting all of my calories in which may have something to do with it.

My procedure was the day before yours. I weight once a week, but I've only lost 3lbs over the last two weeks. It's very disheartening, but I'm doing my darndest to stay positive and trust the process. This forum has really helped me keep my chin up about the whole thing.

I had a sleeve on 12/28/16, so it's been 2 1/2 weeks. I've lost 15 pounds so far. Is that below average? I had rapid weight loss from getting out of the hospital until the 1 1/2 week mark, then a 6-day plateau and just finally lost a couple more pounds. I can't explain the plateau--I was still on a liquid diet when it started!

I think we are so quick to get discouraged when at the time we first started we would of died for a 30 lb weight loss and the minute we slow means we need to up our exercise game that's another part of our tools, everything is just a tool, not a crutch.

I'm a dude. Bypass on 12/13 at 270 and down 35 pounds. Doing about 1 or 2 pounds a week now. Don't care about the scale, just sticking to the calories, and know my body will adjust. It has no choice really. That's the science part. Without the surgery there is no way I could maintain 600 to 700 calories a day. I remember when I thought 1500 calories was impossible to maintain a few "diets" ago.

Lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet too. I started that week out at 270. I'm climbing out of the 3-4 week stall.

Mine was on 12/30, I lost pretty much the same amount of weight as yours. The first week was a pound a day now it's a little slower.

I was bypassed on 12/22 as well!! I'm currently going through this "stall"...although I have lost a really good amount of weight already. It's still discouraging not seeing the scale move for awhile!

Surgery day weight: 345

Current weight: 313

      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! 😞
