I am almost 2 months post
Op and fluctuate between 14 and 20 pounds lost. WTH am I not doing right? 5’6 and down to 225. 60 years old. Is this an age thing??? So depressed.

Could be a number of things..are you following your program? Having any complications? New medications or added back and you were taking prior to surgery? Logging all your meals? Some people experience a stall every now and then..it could just be a fluke.

Sorry I can’t give you an answer but hopefully in reviewing the questions above you maybe able to figure it out.

Best wishes.

I don't think it's an age thing. There are plenty of us "seniors" on here that are losing weight. Make sure you are fowling the guidelines your bariatric team gave you and track everything you eat or drink. I use My Fitness Pal but there are others out there to use. Good luck!

I had my surgery when I was 58, so I doubt that's it. Do you take any medications that cause weight gain?

Thank you for the response. i am going over everything again and seeing what i could do better. I appreciate all the help on this!!!!

I take an antidepressant but am off all my diabetes medications now. Also off high blood pressure meds :)

I just had all my blood worked done. all vitamin levels are good only thing still a little high is colesteral. A1C was 5.5

Eat protein first no more than 4 oz, veggies second you should be full and no drinking with meals or 30 min. before or after. Get a Fitbit and track everything you eat on MyFitnessPal. That includes what you cook them in. If you like chicken a Rotessori chicken packed in 4 oz packets make an easy dinner, then you just have to do the veggie. If you follow the plan you should lose.

Thank you for the suggestion.
