You aren't alone. I felt the same way. I started at 377. Lost 51 lbs on my own and had surgery at 326. At 2.5 months I lost about 29 lbs. I had the sleeve and I am still glad that is what I chose. But it is slower than the RNY. I'm now at 278 and that one more lb for 100 total is so elusive.
I've noticed a pattern. I lose very little for two weeks before my menstrual cycle. Then once my period starts I drop faster for a week or two. So, I know for me it is very hormonal.
The non scale victories like smaller clothing, dashing up the stairs, seatbelts that fit, getting my ring sized, and more are very motivating.
So...keep on your plan. Keep checking in here. You aren't alone. You are doing great.

Increase intake Protein etc..your at what they call a stall..your body is not use to the drastic lost so it needs time to catch up..on one of the doctors notes they explain about it more and what you can do sometimes it works and sometimes it does not but it's worth a try..if you can't find it let me know I'll search for it again and post it for you

Maybe ur not eating enough while working out so much. Ur in starvation mode maybe. Decrease Cal burned and increase Cal/protein taken in.

Dropping around 4 pounds a week is called success. Not sure why you're disappointed

you are doing fine. I know you will see people on here who lose 30 lbs the first month, but that's not common. 15-25 lbs the first month and 10-12 lbs a month thereafter (until you get out 6 or 7 lbs, when you lose even less) is a lot more common. You're right on target. Just continue sticking to your program. I was exactly where you are at that point, and I lost all my excess weight - over 200 lbs.

Starting to fall into a depression because I’m not losing weight. I️ had my surgery on 8/23/17 and now 2 1/5 months out and I’ve only lost 37 pounds. I️ started at 335 and now down to 298. I’ve been patient and everyone says “don’t compare yourself to everyone else.” But they don’t understand that people who were way smaller have ever lost more than me. I️ don’t eat a quarter of what I️ used to eat and I️ work out a few times a week. What can I️ do to lose weight? I’m so sick of being fat. My life has been ruined because of it. I’m starting to think there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel.


I stall every month, and that’s just about how much I lost at that point. I’m 6 months out on the 11th this month, and my progress is amazing regardless of the constant stalls.

What everyone is saying is great [emoji4] I’m 9 months post op vsg and “stuck” at 80 pounds lost. I was 313 pre-op and I’m now at 232. I had some major complications in surgery and almost died. I actually came home with a 50 pound gain because of fluids [emoji24] but now I’ve not lost in 2 months.

That being said, I am terrible about my Water. This post has helped me to remember why that is so important.

It is hard. We want instant and constant loss. The struggle is constant. Every bite I think is this because I’m hungry, bored, or emotional.

If you would like to be fb friends, look me up- Shannon Busey. It seems we started at about the same place and I will be happy to walk this walk with you.

Just my little cents; My surgeon and nutritionist both recommend only weighing yourself once a month. That way you don’t get hung up on the stalls or the little fluctuations we have

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
