Is anyone out there like me? I had VSG surgery feb 2022. Started at 21.9 stone pre LRD diet. 20.9 stone after LRD , lowest after surgery 17 stone.  I lost weight the first year and then gained 2 stone currently sitting at 19 stone. Since jan 2023 the scale has not moved once , up and down by maybe 1 or 2 pounds but the scale is not moving. At all. I can count calories for a whole month and nothing. I can eat **** for a whole month .. and nothing. nothing makes my scales move and hasn’t for over a year. You can only imagine my frustration. is anyone else having this issue and if so PLEASE tell me how I can start losing weight and making the scales move again.

I will definitely get onto the team and surgeon! Start weight before surgery was 21.9 , 20.9 after LRD before surgery. Lowest after surgery 17 stone, currently at 19. After surgery total loss was 3 stone 9lbs which I think isn’t great surgery was feb 2022 got to 17 stone august 2022. Then gained now stalled at 19 stone for nearly a year.

Hi! I have only spoken to them once since my surgery as I told them I was not losing weight and kept having issues with low blood sugar after surgery which I never had before. they advised I upped my protein and then stopped responding. im 5’5. Daily calories unknown I eat whatever I want whenever I want as it makes no difference to the scale and hasn’t for over a year. I calorie counted back in January this year, I track everything down to oils when cooking , weighing out everything etc I was between 1600-1800. Would still be hungry on these calories aswell. before surgery when dieting previous years I was on 1800 and lost 5 stone in 4 months. Now no matter what I do or track or eat nothing works?!

Hi guys. Start weight before surgery - 21.9 stone lowest weight after surgery - 17 stone current weight - 19 stone I was sleeved on 02/02/22, restriction was doing it’s thing, I caught covid back end of March. Completely lost my appetite for a week, then after that it felt asif I was never sleeved. I worked from home which did not involve a lot of steps a day, come the beginning of may my weight loss had stalled and stuck at 17 stone all the way up until around March 2023. since March 2023 I gained 1 stone 13 pounds through no fault of my own eating what I wanted no calorie counting etc. I started calorie counting the beginning of this week. I am on 1800 calories by working this out as my deficit through the TDEE website. I know this website does not take into consideration my smaller stomach due to surgery however I have no restriction at all and can eat 1800 calories a day no problem and still hungry most days. 5 days on a deficit and I’ve actually gained a pound, I was 18.13 on Monday now 19 stone. Has anyone else who has been sleeved going through the same thing? Didn’t really lose much weight after surgery and tried calorie counting a couple years post op and the scale just did not move, or even go up? Looking to shift 4 stone but feel deflated as doing everything I should be and scales are going up? I calorie counted years before my sleeve surgery and lost 5 stone in 5 months. Shouldn’t it be even easier now I’ve been sleeved? It seems so much harder! Yes I am tracking everything correctly and I weigh out everything that passes my lips.

I’m just worried that I will be even more hungry and want to eat more if I up my exercise. I worked out my deficit from my current weight , maintainence is 2343 calories , minus 500 for deficit puts me at 1843. I just don’t see how the scale is going up when I’m in a deficit. I’ve gone from eating whatever I want and not counting anything to being really on top of everything since Monday and gained a pound.

Anyone cheated on the pre op and everything was still ok for the go ahead of surgery? I got told I need to do a 3 week pre op diet , eat anything I want aslong as it’s within 800-900 calories. First 4 days went great but slipped up last night and cheated. still got 2 weeks and 2 days until my gastric sleeve surgery, do you think this will effect anything? Or if I stick to it 100% from now I should be okay? I know I shouldn’t of cheated but I’m only human

Hi guys, me again 😂 is it normal to experience headaches 4 days post op? such a hypochondriac I know, just curious. thankyouuuu

I feel so lost and angry yesterday I consumed 1400 calories at only 11 weeks post op gastric sleeve. 2 weeks ago I started feeling a lot more hungry so increased my calorie intake to 900-1000 because I thought if I’m hungry, then eat. when I used to diet before the surgery I was on 1500 calories so to me it’s absolutely bizzare that I’ve had 85% of my stomach removed and can still eat 1400? can anyone please give me some advice? I’m hitting my protein everyday keeping and carbs to a minimum.

Hi guys, 2 months post op gastric sleeve and felt super hungry this week been having over 1000 calories a day when I was averaging between 700-900 before? any ideas?

Day 21 post op, do I need to do another week of purée or can I go onto soft foods?

Says on my plan week 3 and 4 puree/soft foods but I’m so bad at maths and so confused, because I started purée last Wednesday as instructed so does that mean tomorrow I go onto soft foods? Or another week puree , then soft foods the week after that.

Hi does anyone know if I can have low fat feta cheese on purée stage? 25 grams has 0.8g carbs , 2.3G fat & 4.2g protein. thankyou.

Hi guys had my surgery 02/02, start weight was 21.9. I got down to 20.9 before my op on the LRD. first week weigh in after surgery was a loss of 8 pounds and this morning week 2 I’ve lost 3.5 pounds. However I got on the scale Sunday and it showed a 3.5 pound loss then, so in 3 days the scale hasn’t moved and I’m still on liquids? what do we reckon, I’m going to be a slow loser? Or I’ve hit the dreaded 3 week stall early? thankyou.

Hi guys, how many calories were you consuming 3 days post op? I feel like I’m ingesting too much I had an Actimel 0% (27 cal) in the morning, 330ml protein shake (155 cal) for lunch which went down quick and a cup of soup (90 cal) in the afternoon which didn’t take me long to finish either. my surgeon never gave me a calorie amount. I’m currently planning on having another cup of soup (90 cal) is this too much for 3 days post op? Surgery was 02/02/2022

Hi guys, abit TMI but I’m currently 9 days into my pre op LRD and I’ve noticed my bowel movements are not as regular as I’ve known them to be previously. I can now go 2 days without passing. Is this expected due to the little amount of calories ? Has anyone else had or have the same issue ? Thankyou!

Hi all, I have been looking into the gastric sleeve and had my consultation an hour ago. The surgeon informed me of having to stop smoking forever. I have an addiction to food and also smoking and I am now debating wether or not gastric sleeve surgery is right for me. For health reasons I know I will be so much better off with the surgery but as I currently look at food as a comforting coping mechanism aswell as my smoking I can’t help but feel like will I think it’s the wrong decision if I do through with the surgery. Basically what I’m saying is any tips or advice if has anyone else been in the same situation where food is their addiction aswell as smoking and if you regret your decision? thankyou
