Count your calories for a week to make sure you're eating under your TDEE. If that's not the problem then it's just a stall. Stay hydrated and lay off the salt to help clear it.

You are two months out, and almost halfway to goal. You only have 35 more pounds to go! You can expect the losses to slow way down and have lots of stalls (the closer to goal, the slower the losses). You should reach goal by 6 or 8 months postop.

Daily eating? Can't help if I don't know what your eating . But it's also true stalls happen

Try adding exercise. Get a fitbit, and bump your steps by one or two thousand a day.

Take the stairs, park farther out, all that stuff. Consider adding a gym class.

Calories in -vs-calories out....the bigger the deficit, the better your chance for seeing it on the scale. Good luck!

I’m 2 1/2 months out and have lost 38 pounds, but 13 of that I lost prior to surgery. I’m barely losing now, for the last few weeks. I liked when I was seeing the numbers drop almost daily, but know that’s not realistic indefinitely. I just want to get to the 40 pound mark which will make me at my half way mark. My son tells me to up my Water intake, especially because I rarely meet my water intake goal. Do you all count tea, and other fluids as “water intake”? I have a crazy busy work schedule so it’s hard to get in exercise in the evenings, but I do try to walk as much as I can.

I count all fluids. Tea, coffee, milk, v8, coconut Water, etc.

Actually I don't literally count fluids anymore. I drink when I think about it or feel thirsty. It's important to count for the first few months, though, to make sure you hit your goals.

Sounds like a stall. I have hit the 3 month stall. Stay off of the scale it will only upset you. Is your body changing? Did you take measurements? How are your clothes fitting? Are you counting your calories? Drink lots of Water. Don’t get discouraged the weight will come off.

it important to change up your routine around a stall. your body will get used to almost anything and then treat that as normal.

if you walk a lot add weights. ankle or 1 pound barbells in your hands.

if you use a treadmill add incline

if you are not breaking a sweat you have gotten used to your old routine and need a change.

i find i have to use a treadmill or i dont maintain a steady fast pace and then i got used to that and had to add more time then incline and then increased speed. i kept getting used to what i was doing.

check you pulse after 30 minutes. you can look up your rec heart rate for you age and see if you are getting there if not you have to adding something to challenge your body or you will stabilize (stall)

Same here. I was sleeved on 10/11/17 and lost 30 but in the last 3 weeks maybe 2 pounds. Very frustrating

I’m in the same boat! I had my VSG on 10/5/207, and lost 28 lbs in the first 3 weeks and then less than 4 lbs in the last 5 weeks! It’s been super frustrating and discouraging. I’ve been eating less than 850 cal per day, walking 20 min on my lunch break at work, going to the gym for 40-60 min 5 days per week, and getting my recommended Water and Protein. It really sucks :(

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
