Haven’t lost weight



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on 12/9. I've also lost 27 pounds. I've been stuck now for about a week. Everyone on here says that there is a normal stall around week 3-4. I stopped weighing daily and am now focusing on inches lost, new clothes I'm fitting into, and just trying to enjoy the journey. I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me, but I'm trying to not obsess over it!!!

Absolutely normal. There is the infamous stall that occurs about three weeks post op, but can occur at two weeks, four weeks or more out. Unfortunately it won't likely be the last stall, but knowing there will be stalls will hopefully help deal with them without worrying or panicking.

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY hits a stall either during Week 3 or Week 4. It's perfectly normal. Your body is healing and adjusting. Just ride it through. Stick with the program.

      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! 😞
