Well, I have been stalled for about a month. I had lost 25 pounds at one point and gained back 5 pounds. I am only eating about 600 calories a day. I am going to increase my Water intake.

Can you feasibly go back to basics? Protein then vegetables then complex carbs sparingly, min of 80 g Protein since you are a lifting male, 90 oz fluids (doesnt have to be just Water )

Cut out ALL OTHER FOODS that might slow down progress

You may need more cals, but the right kind, boost your calories and Protein with Protein Shakes

Sorry TMI but how are your bowel movements, if not super regular, weight loss will stall I know for a fact

Get ahold of your team or NUT and make a plan, very important to let them know you have concerns, bug them and don't feel bad about it at all, you pay good money for their medical attention.

Also I was stalled for a month during the second month, it happens

Yes I will go back to basics. I really need to make this work. I didnt have most of my stomach removed to lose a lousy 20 pounds!
Its only the second month, give it a little time some strong effort, you'll do amazing (Men always lose a lot more than women but who's counting lol)

I’ve been in a plateau for months now. My dr said I needed to exercise more and be very strict, all of which I’ve done and I’m still stalled. But I’m happier and healthier, so I’m gonna keep on keeping on and hope for the best!

I'm at 4 months post op and I've lost 70, but I had a much higher BMI than you did. Still, though, I hadn't lost 50 pounds by 2 months out. That's a lot. I think that you're doing GREAT! You weigh 241 at 6 feet tall?! That's not too shabby. The pounds are coming off, and will keep coming off!

I have lost 22 lbs and I am 7 weeks post op tomorrow. My weight at surgery was 213 lbs and I am 5'5. I feel as if the weight loss is going so slow now but I keep my hopes up because I have read many people from here eventually lose slowly but steadily and reach their goal weight. Dont lose hope cause I haven't! :)

what is your daily calorie intake? drinking 64 oz of liquid a day really helps. my wl kicked into gear when I started drinking more. whether its warm or cold mix that 64 oz at the start of the day and track it. weight training will cause muscle to build which weighs more but in the long run will cause better metabolism to burn the cals. are you male or female?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
