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

      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! 😞
