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 :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
