Weight issues after 6 months post op



Recommended Posts

If possible I would try swimming for exercise for a while. This is a great low impact exercise and easy on the back and knees if done right.

I am not sure I agree about not weighing every day. There is pretty convincing research out there showing daily weighing is strongly correlated with weight reduction and, more importantly, keeping weight off. If you weigh daily, then you know you only ever face a 1 or 2 day ‘diet’ in future, not a month or two as weigh gain got a bit out of control...




But I reckon different strokes for different folks. Some focus on the numbers, some on the waistband snugness!


Everyone is different. I weigh everyday. Rarely do I skip a day. It has been a routine for ages and keeps me accountable.
Some folks can’t handle it. I get that.

I am 14 months out and I weigh myself daily right before I shower. It keeps me on track. It is easier to lose 1 or 2 pounds than 5 or ten. I haven't work this hard to ever go back. Everyone is different, do what is best for you

How fast are we supposed to lose weight? Following my diet, walking 2 miles a day. Losing inches but scale doesn't seem to move. I am 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve. So discouraged.

“Losing inches...”
That’s HUGE!!! If not losing one or the other, you worry. If at least one is dropping off, you are so winning!

      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! 😞
