Recommended Posts

I heard many people talk about there stand still there not losing more weight after a month and now its my turn...

SD dec.4

SW 260

CW 230 stuck for 1.5 weeks

I lost alot because i could not reach 1000 calories it was hard for me to eat... Now i can eat all day and yes i do get hungry all i eat is healthy... And i always try to keep it to 1000 caleries a day like i was told to sometimes i may reach 1200 or 1100 but maybe 1 or 2 x during week...

And i am going to gym 3-4 x a week started 2 weeks now...

My question is... After this stand still does anyone loss more weight after? Or r u stuck her for ever and surgery was just for those 2 months......im a bit disappointed in everything... Some people tell me its just now cause i am able to eat... I will lose more later i just need yall to happen me what happen to you all... Thank u for your help

I promise you're not stuck forever:) You have months and months of really productive weight loss ahead of you...your body is just going...what the hell? LOL. It's a big adjustment.

30 pounds in less than two months is a HUGE loss for someone who only had 60 pounds to lose at the time of surgery!!!

Eat your recommended calories, eat healthy food, exercise at sane levels....you're doing great. The last 30 pounds or so can be stubborn, and you have a big advantage being fresh out of WLS.

Stalls happen. This, too, shall pass:)

PS...I've been eating 1000-1200 calories per day since week 3...and I've lost steadily. A little slower than some, but I feel like I've hit a groove that feels moderate and healthy. I didn't put it all on in six months....this is gonna take a while. It's ok:) Gives my skin the best chance to catch up with me:)

Remember also when you work out you gain muscle and it weighs more than fat. It will come off :)

It’s really important for people to realize that the scale is only part of the story. Keep measuring your body keep looking at you shrinking your clothes, your body hasn’t stop changing, so stop only listening to your scale. You’re doing amazing! Keep up with your protocol get your Protein Water Vitamins and 10 k steps in each day. This will work for you! Hang in there!

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
