I had surgery on May 10th and I only lost 14 pounds since surgery, and my weight has fluctuate between 13-14 pounds loss. I've been on solids since a week post op and I've been eating mainly veggies, meat, and Protein supplement. Also my Water intake is about 64oz. I've been going to the gym and have a trainer who designed me a workout plan based on my vsg procedure. Has anyone else been having trouble with the weight loss? Any advise will help. Thank you.

Bypass patient here; I lost 13 pounds in the first three weeks, then I stalled for eleven days. I was already walking long (5+ miles) distances and getting enough Protein, Water, and the correct range of calories. Day 12 it began moving down and is still headed that way...until the next stall. I didn't change anything, it just began going again. Your body is just adjusting to its situation and it will kick up again.

I am asking myself the same questions too Lisha. I have stalled at 271 for about 9 days now 17 days post op. Seems everyone goes through various seasons of stalling and sounds like you are really making good strides with exercising and your eating. I have not been doing good maintaining calorie intake or drinking Water so I only have myself to blame. As people keep telling me in this forum, this is a marathon race, not a sprint. We have to work through this process

Oh no. I'm sorry that you're going through the same thing. Thank you for reminding me that it takes time.

I’m kinda the same. First two weeks big losses. Third week nothing. Halfway through the fourth week with nothing to loss to report. Hoping next week will get things moving again!

The stall thing happens over and over. I've lost track of how many times I've stalled since my surgery last September. I'm currently stalled at 212 pounds. With each stall I've tried to up my physical activity and eventually the stall broke.

Don't worry, you'll come out of it. I stalled at the dreaded 3 week stall, then again a few weeks ago for probably at least a week, got back on the scale this past Monday (last Monday) and I have lost 5 in a week. I was so frustrated i couldn't stand it! Everyone here says you go down, then can stall then even go up then start losing again. And you're better than me because i am NOT exercising nearly at all. I've lost 45 since 4/2 10 pre-op the rest post op after 4/17. Transitioning to solids sometimes stalls you too, more waste- more poop, lol! I had to do a stool softener when I started solids.

      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!
