On Monday I was 5 weeks post op. I am officially down 27lbs since my appt for surgery clearance and 21lbs down since the night before surgery. Reason I say I'm frustrated is i lost majority of this weight by 2 week post op. Now for the past 3 since I'm able to eat food I notice that my weight isn't coming off and if so it's super slow. I just got the ok to resume a regular diet and ok'd to start going to the gym. Hoping that with increasing my exercising that the weight will start peeling off again.

has anyone else struggled with plateauing and if so did it last this long for you. I have been stuck at 188.9-191.

Exercising probably won't make the weight fall off, especially since exercise inflames your muscles and makes you retain Water.

I'm at the same weight as you, the only different is I have lost a lot of weight to get here.

The lower your weight, the slower the weight comes off. You are not going to see the huge losses you see most people posting about because they started so much higher tan you. Not just that but your body naturally stalls, adjusts then starts losing again. That is part of the process.

I am in the same situation as you, I was really losing until I was able to start puréed food. I feel horrible when I eat because I'm so scared to gain more weight.

Question: Did you have your surgery in the US? Or Mexico? It matters!!

Can I ask why you say it matters? What is the difference do you think?

Sounds like the 3 week stall. Happens to everyone when you start to introduce food. Your body goes into survival mode cause it's preparing for rough times. You should start dropping weight soon enough. You got this. Just work on your Protein and Water. When the scale isn't moving take your measurements. Take pictures so you can compare. It helps alot.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
