Hi I’m 5 months post surgery gastric sleeve & have lost only 37 pounds. I walk half an hour is all but my life has just been so crazy. I have to hit the gym.. is anyone else like me out there ? I feel alone cuz all of u out there have lost so much weight .. help!

I use the metric system


I’m 5’4 female
H/o hypothyroidism & poly cystic ovaries.

I weighed 122 kgs pre op, dropped to 117 after one week of shake and then now dropped to 105, but this loss was over immediate 3 months. Surgery was on August 25, haven’t lost weight since October end. So November - feb no weight loss at all. December was a mess cuz I was out of country but yeah. Idk. I was telling my best friend I feel like I did all this to lose 15 kgs. But I also need to exercise more & eat right .
Anyway it’s a win cuz you don’t gain & also you eat less which is good for over all health.

You work at.. a Cafe... Lol so can't drink Water ? When you said you can't drink water thought you were a surgeon. Think you can manage it some. How lol on the account of water being s basic need.

I'm totally on the same boat as you i had surgery about 2 and a half months ago and I have stalled for over 4- 5 weeks. I have lost 28 pounds including preop which was less than a week. I do my best to eat 1000-1100 calories a day so my body doesn't go into starvation mode. I haven't been able to incorporate any exercise yet because I go to school full time and work full time (I know excuses are excuses but I honestly have no time). I talked to my nutritionist and she said I should keep my carbs below 50 grams/day and try including healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, salad dressing etc. I lost 3-4 pounds the first week I did that, but I'm back on a stall now. It's super frustrating as I feel I'm the only one who's going through this and had surgery to loose less than 30 pounds.

So no you're not alone

Thanks for your response.
What carbs do you eat? What did your nutritionist suggest your calorie intake to be ? 1000? Pls give me details.

Can anyone tell me how long my hair will fall out? I’ve been losing a lot in the last month. I’m afraid I will be bald. I’m 4 months post op.

Please google telogen effluvium
