Everybody has a hiatal hernia that gets VSG surgery. I'd get the hell away from any surgeon that says it's a rare thing cause it's not. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was the same as you. I went to the gym and went on the treadmill for the 1st time day 8 after surgery... I've worked out with weights hard since 6 weeks and took in a ton of protein.. my weight loss stalled at 3 months. My body is changing and losing inches and only 40lbs from goal but the scale stopped moving. I'm just letting u know that's what happened to me when I was taking in a ton of protein. I never had 1 complication. It's been a weird journey. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hello everybody, I'm 5 months Post-op from VSG.Ive been in a stall for 2 months. I had an appointment at my Surgeon's yesterday. They told me I'm not taking in enough calories for my body to efficiently lose steadily. They want me at 2000 calories a day. I work out hard 3 days a week and lift very heavy and do Orange Theory workouts 2 days a week. So I'm in the gum burning crazy calories 5 days a week. Anybody else go thru or going thru anything like this before?? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

How many calories and protein are you guys taking in and successfully losing steady ? I was taking in a ton of protein between 120-150 and around 1200 calories and my Dr said that's too much protein and not enough calories... I lift and workout 5 days a week but have been at a stall for awhile. HW-280 SW-250 CW-220 GW-180.. I use the Myfitnesspal religiously. I just got to find what numbers helps me lose the best.

I was INTERMITTENT Fasting the past 2 months. That's how I was packing in so much protein. The people I spoke too at my surgeons said to switch it back to 3 meals and 2 snacks.. I'm just trying to hear what worked for everybody else. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Go watch some YouTube videos. JerseyJules was great for me before I had surgery 20 weeks ago Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 20 weeks out and have only lost like 35lbs so don't stress it. Just stay active and eat healthy Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yea I was the same.. everything gets better minute by minute as soon as u open your eyes after surgery...youll be fine taking care of yourself... only advice is give is too really avoid stairs for as long as u can till u feel healed enough to stretch out on them.

That's what they said. I went back to the gym and did light cardio 8 days after surgery.. I was lifting 3-4 weeks after. I've been lifting heavy for months... My problem is the scale isn't moving... I had this surgery to lose the weight I didn't think I would be able to do on my own.. I'm 40lbs from goal weight of 180 but it's frustrating to work so hard in the gym yet not see any results on the scale. I see them in my body and in my clothes sizes just nothing on the scale.

Yea my hospital didn't release me until I had someone too leave with. But honestly I woulda been fine taking an uber.. just explain to them u don't have anybody in NYC with u. I'm single and I've done everything all by myself. My mom stayed with me my first night home for a couple hours but I was fine and sent her home too sleep in her own bed. I've taken care of myself since being released from the hospital and I've thrived... you'll be fine. Your 7 yr old should help also. I had nobody and I was fine. Good luck, I'm 5 months post oppressively Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't ran into anything that has made me sick or throw up since the 1st month.. Just FYI I eat healthy 80% of the time. How everybody else's experiences ?

Some people like to force theyre beliefs and procedures on eberybidy they can because nobody will listen to them in real life so they come on here and unleash. Try to find a good area and you'll be good. Just don't ever ever post about alcohol. God forbid u have drink 3 mos out . These people will burn u at the stake.

Yea i always have been since high school.. my problem is I'm a (was) a binge eater.. and when I would eat the way I did and take a month off from the gym it quickly ballooned me up. U have to find something physical u enjoy doing if u want too be successful long term. Anything, start with walking and move up to speed walking then jogging... biking... but an elliptical... swimming... u have to find something u enjoy Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Anything high sugar makes my stomach hurt and sometimes throw up. So now I limit my sugar intake to a quarter cup of granola once in awhile with some Greek yogurt. That's it for sweets and sugars Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes I took a couple trips and definately wasn't eating as healthy as I should be... luckily I'm a gym addict so that has helped but starting Monday I'm cleaning my act up completely. I got another 50 lbs till my goal weight of 170... I ate like **** during mos 2 and 3 post op. Not the whole time but enough to slow my progress to a slow crawl.. very disappointing.. the vacations were great tho. But I'm putting everything off now till I make significant gains towards my goals. Good luck. It's a process of ups and downs so far for me Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Just a ton of new suits and a new girlfriend. I'm staying away from the dating scene till I'm as happy with myself as I can be and if I dont have one by then I'm taking a singles cruise. I got 50Lbs till goal weight of 170 . Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I've read it takes the body and metabolism 18 months to adjust to the surgery. That's when u want to get down to your goal weight. Then it's all about maintenance. I'm 4 mos post op and I know the feeling of wanting to hit the goal before the body adjusts. So I'm looking at it like I have 14 mos to lose another 50 lbs. Establish good habits and get my gym routine down Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I drink it every morning when I wake up and I'm 4 mos post op Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Great job hannah. I know exactly what u mean by non depressed... I won't be fully healed from depression till I hit my goals and I fucked the past 2 months up. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh yea , I'm more dedicated now than I ever have been. Idk if I can lose 20-25 lbs by March 1st but I'm gonna give it a shot . Id like to be hovering around 200 by st pattys day which is 5 weeks away. I joined Orange Theory which is a HI IT designed workout. I really need to be absolutely as strict as I can be with my diet. My problem is I'm a nighttime eater. I'm gonna try the Intermittent Fasting and keep my window when my body gets hungry. Thanks for the feedback. I am 5/8 and very stocky. I started lifting in high school. But a main reason why I got this surgery was because I don't want to look stocky anymore I wanna look lean and healthy for the rest of my life. The weights not shedding off like I thought it would so I need to change a couple things and get too my goals. Hopefully I'll check back and be much happier with my progression.

I am a heavy lifter also. I'm 4 months Post op and only down 30lbs. I look better and feel stronger but am still 40/50 lbs from my goal weight of 170/180. I'm glad i found your post it helped me during this tough time I'm going thru Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Here is a picture of the progress I can see in my face since losing the 60 lbs from my heaviest weight last march. I still got 40/50 lbs to go. But haven't lost in almost 2 months. I could use some help Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery on OCT 5th. My HW was 280 my SW was 250 and my CW is 225 .. I struggled cause of travel/stress/. But I'm sick of making excuses I got this surgery to get too where I need to be and that's between 170/180. I workout so much and I'm starting too wonder if it's too much. I'm still trying to grasp when I'm full. What are some tips some really successful people from October use for they're diets ? I thought I was eating healthy when I really focused on it but now I'm 2nd guessing myself. I really need to be successful in this journey and am reaching out asking for an input is really appreciated. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I had surgery on the same day Oct 5th. I'm down 25lbs also. I had a horrible December and January. I'm determined to hit my goal of being under 200lbs for the 1st time since high school 20 years ago. And 40 lbs from my goal weight. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
