I had VSG 04/08, and I have only lost 55 pounds total, including what I lost before surgery.

I exercise every day!

Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas on how to help?

The doctor explained that I would lose weight like the "stairs", instead of the "slide". It's not going to be smooth sailing all the way down. Our body will lose the weight but we must give it chance to regroup and refit our skins.

My surgery was in Feb 2019. My slowest progress so far was on my 3rd month (May). Once June came around, my progress increased again.

Good job exercising everyday.

Congratulations on losing 55 lbs. I recently lifted a 10 pound potato sack and it was "HEAVY"... So 55 is a lot! Awesome job!

Hang in there friend. We'll be skinny someday....soooon!

Thank you!

I am trying really hard! I know, I felt so silly saying "only 55 pounds" !

Thank you!

And good luck on your journey!

so you just had surgery in April? If so, at 55 lbs, you're ahead of where I was at that point.

Oh, maybe I am just paranoid then... I just feel like I am waaaaaaaay below average for post op weight loss.

Nope... not at all!

I'm not losing but I think it's because I hit the 3 week stall

I had surgery 2/25 and have lost 63 and I feel that's pretty good. I've only lost 5 pounds since June 1st.

I would say you're doing great!
