Did any of you ladies miss a period after surgery? I have 0% chance of being pregnant so in just curious if it's due to the rapid weight loss. Thanks!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

hi everyone. I'm beyond frustrated. I am just over 4 months post op with gastric sleeve. I have lost close to 60 lbs already so I can't really complain how ever, I have been doing everything right and have not lost ONE lb in over 10 days now. In fact, I gained 1 lb as of this morning. I am doing everything right. Has anyone gone through this? I thought a stall wasn't supposed to last this long??!! Thanks!

hey everyone. I'm almost 5 months out of surgery and have lost 60 lbs. Ive been one of people that decides to torture myself and weighs almost every day. The fluctuations i see on the scale are crazy. This entire month I've had a stall. I realize that I lost a good amount of weight in 4 months, so I'm sure it's normal but frustrating. I've literally only lost one pound the entire month and I've not done anything wrong. I'm hoping I break that soon as most months I average around 10 lbs loss. Anyway, what I notice weighing every day is I will lose a few lbs in several days, then it seems like a go up a lb or so, only to relose and then some after that, little at a time. Does anyone else that weighs often notice this? Maybe it would be better if I weighed once a week or less? Thanks!!

I'm gonna try fasting until noon each day, more water and up the protein a bit more. Thanks!

On Monday I'll hit 6 weeks out of surgery and have lost 32ish lbs. I'm on my cycle now, so I'm guessing that's why I haven't lost so much this week lol Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I actually got my period 4 days after surgery and it was early. Now I'm about 4 days past when I should of had it. I'm sure itll be off kilter for a while!! Thanks. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm losing on average 3 lbs a week and I'm happy because before surgery I had trouble losing weight every damn day of my life. 5 years ago I lost 85, it crept back on and I had so much trouble since. I'm down 30.5 since surgery 5 weeks ago and I am not complaining. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I totally agree with this. As soon as I added 100 to 150 calories a day (I max at 800ish), i have consistently been losing close to 1/2 lb a day! We have to realize even 800 a day is a pretty big calorie deficit as most of us are well over 200 lbs when we start Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone! I'm new here. I had gastric sleeve surgery on 12/2 so tomorrow I am 3 weeks out. I have actually lost the most weight on the week long pre OP diet the surgery had me on and since surgery ive lost 9 lbs. I have at least 120 lbs to lose so not sure why its going so slow considering I am only taking in about 600 calories a day. We all hear about starvation mode but I'm not sure if that's a myth plus were able to eat so little now our bodies have to catch up I think. I'm a bit frustrated as it seems like I'm not losing as quick how ever I'm down 21 lbs in just under 4 weeks which is way more than ive lost in ages. Has anyone else had slow weight loss even in the beginning?? Thanks! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I upped calories and protein and I lost 5 lbs in the last 10 days. When i was eating 500 to 600... losing less. 700 to 850ish coming off easier. I dont believe necessarily in starvation mode but I'm eating pretty much low carb so I think that's helping as well even with a bit more calories Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm losing slow too, on average 2 to 3 lbs a week and I'm 4 weeks out on Monday. I actually lost more on my pre op diet the week before surgery. How ever I'm still down almost 25 lbs in a month thats way more than I've been able to lose in ages. I average about 600 calories a day some times more some times less and I wonder if maybe I'm not eating enough either. Hang in there you're doing great Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I think every day is too much as I have been doing it and notice it even goes up a lb at times but theres no way I'm gaining even if I have a day with a bit more calories I'm still taking in 900 or less on a BAD day. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wouldn't try wendys chili just yet. I tried it a few days ago at 3 weeks post OP and had a hard time with it. I didnt throw up but it sat like a brick in my stomach only after a couple spoonfuls. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have been eating the vegan meatballs too! So good!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I seriously hope that happens for me. I stay the same for a few days, then drop 2ish lbs... it's been so slow and I'm 3.5 weeks out. I really hope that happens 5 lbs here and there, 1 lb a day... I'll love it!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

How the heck can I lose so slow when I'm only eating a fraction of what i was before? It just baffles me. So, I upped my calories and ate 800 as opposed to my normal 600 and gained a lb. Man, this is screwing with me. I wish I was like the others consistently losing each day. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Nah, I don't think I really gained but it was just weird to see it move "up". I'm taking miralax and go every couple of days so def dont think its constipation. I think I need to up my water intake. I think it may help me lose faster. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Right I dont believe in starvation mode either when you've got loads of belly fat like me especially. I mean I'm over 3 weeks out and I've only lost 11 lbs in those 3 weeks. Yes that's decent how ever, you'd think with a very drastic change it'd be more. I'm stuck wondering if my body is confused or something lol Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I actually gained a lb when I went to 800 calories. 800 is still next to nothing. I was eating upwards of 3000 calories a day when I was in my bad eating phase on and off. Its just so frustrating. How can I gain with 800 calories? Shoot on my preop diet for a week I ate 1000 calories and lost 12 lbs in 7 days. Its funny that that was my biggest loss, even after surgery. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 3 weeks post op. When I went to my post op appt a week and a half ago, the nurse told me to stay at around 600 calories a day. This would of been funny to me pre-surgery but now its easy. How ever, I have done a little experimenting and it seems like a lose a little more if I eat a bit more calories, just a bit. So some days I stay at 600 others I try to go up a bit. What are everyone's calories looking like day to day??? Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved 12/2. I have pcos and I am 39. I have lost 22 lbs since 11/25. I have been losing even being a bit older and the disorder. I'm sure its moving a bit slower than others, but its been a very long time since I lost over 20 lbs even! You'll do great and yes we can lose!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Good luck [emoji173][emoji173] we are all here for you. I was just sleeved 12/2 Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Keep trusting it..my scale finally moved 2 full lbs over the last few days. I am down 22 lbs since my pre op 11/25. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

You can use the powder form of miralax. I put it in my crystal light and it works well!! You cant even taste it!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
