Hi everyone this is my first time posting here so hopefully I'm doing it correctly. I'm just over a month post op and I have not been doing well with my weight loss. I feel like I can eat more than I should and I haven't lost any weight in two weeks now. Any suggestions? I'm scared that I've done something to mess myself up and that now the surgery was pointless

Did you have vsg? How much have you lost? Many people do get stalls around 3 weeks out. I was sleeved 6/22 I've lost 25 pounds so far. None for like 8 days and 2 pounds since then.

Hi thanks for your reply! I had gastric bypass in June 22 and so far I've lost 37 pounds. I just really feel as if I'm holding more than I should be able to and unfortunately the few times I have cheated I haven't gotten dumping syndrome.

I think 37 pounds is great. I had vsg on June 22 and have lost 25 which I think is average. My doc said. Like 20-25 the first month and 10-12 after that. My husband had gastric bypass 11 years ago. I don't remember how fast he lost weight but he lost like 80 pounds the first year- you're almost at half of that! Be encouraged. Track everything you eat and stick to your plan.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
