Covid Post Op and Weight Loss Stalled
Soon2bFit21 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone here tested positive for Covid after surgery and suddenly stopped losing weight? I’m 5.5 months out and started having symptoms a little over a week ago, tested positive yesterday. I haven’t dropped any weight since and am actually gaining. I’m not on any medications since I am vaccinated and my symptoms aren’t severe. I’ve been consistently dropping weight up until the last week and a half. Not sure if it’s possibly inflammation from Covid that’s causing this? -

Hi, I had my RNY on the first of September, I think I can start pureed good but not sure like what. -
What soft foods did you first add to your diet at 6 week PO? Which vegetables did you start with that were cooked down?

Hi everyone! I had surgery 8/30 so I’m almost two weeks post-op. I am currently in PMSing, but for lunch I was able to get down 3 oz of soup and a 4 oz Two Good yogurt before I decided to stop eating. Is this normal? I’ve been so hungry lately but am trying to stick to my soft foods phase and make good choices, but I don’t feel “full” very fast on soup/yogurt. Am I eating too much?

Getting close - 196 lbs as of this week. Goal is 195. Actually, I'm thinking of adjusting my goal. I'd like to get down to 185 to get rid of this scraggly belly jiggle, then try to build back up to 200 with muscle instead.

Hello, So tomorrow I'll be 2 months post op. So far this journey has been great! I'm down 25 lbs since surgery, 36 since starting the pre op diet. The last 8 days I haven't lost or gained anything. I've been stuck at this weight. I average 850-900 calories, 85g of protein, 50g of carbs (total, not net), 40g of fat, and 80 oz of water. & I workout about 4 days a week. Can anyone offer advice to help break this stall? It has me starting to freak out a little about how long it'll be and I'm only halfway to my goal.

I had VSG 8/31/21. So far so good, except I started feeling hunger yesterday. The surgeons said that VSG surgery removes the portion of the stomach that triggers hunger, so I’m very disappointed/worried. I’m hoping this “hunger” is actually just recovery pain that my brain is misreading as hunger. Anyone else feeling hungry one week post-VSG?

Hi all! Just wondering for those who have step counts, how many steps do you try and get in a day? I'm 3 weeks post op and looking for a rough measure so I can work towards goals. I lost 4kg of muscle over my surgery and my dietician was not happy about that so much, so definitely gotta gain that back!

3 weeks post-revision and terrified
LG202108 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had RNY in 2007, went from 325 to 170 and kept if off for 11 years, which felt awesome. When I had my baby (225 lbs) I just never took the baby weight off, got lax and gained a 50 lbs of weight on top of that. I had a revision to the bypass to reduce my stomach size and really want to get below 200lbs again. So far am down to 255 from 275 day of surgery but am struggling with weakness. Eating soft foods now and hovering below 600 calories a day with 30 minutes of walking. Should I be eating less? Exercising more? I forget everything I did in 2007 to be successful and am still in shock that I’m back here again. Thank you. -
Ideas of meals on the 4th week post op, also how many meals a day?
vcolorado posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi, I am 4 weeks port op, I am finding myself lost in what to eat and how many times I should eat. My recovery hasn’t been so well. My blood pressure keeps dropping to the point I past out. I eat three meals a day, but I am sure I am not meeting the protein goal. I am feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Please help me in menu ideas. I will highly appreciate it! -
Today I had my second of three required office visits; have completed initial blood work, EKG, nutritionist and fitness evaluation. Scheduled Appt with therapist later this month. Have started Protein Shakes and NoCal vitamin water and cutting back big time on Diet Coke. EGD on hold due to Covid elective procedure restrictions. Hoping things settle down and I can proceed on schedule to surgery in the early November timeframe. Really looking forward to taking advantage of the kickstart this surgery will give me to reclaim control of my weight and increase my mobility. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I am almost 6 weeks post gastric sleeve. I am starting to slowly introduce ‘normal’ foods. I have managed to eat spaghetti and noodles fine but tonight I tried penne pasta and sauce. I only have about 2 tablespoons of pasta and a tomato sauce, I didn’t even manage to eat all of this. I have vomited shortly after. This is the second time to happen in the last week. Does anyone know why this could be? I don’t want to get scared of trying to introduce new foods but it’s putting me off eating!

16 weeks postop and hate food
sleevedandhappy posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m looking for someone who is further out than I am who can tell me how to enjoy food again. At each sitting I can only get less than 2 ounces down and that’s only protein. Once I eat the protein there’s no room for anything else. I haven’t eaten any veggies yet because I’m only getting between 20-30 g of protein in per day. Water is nauseating to me but I push hard to get it in but again, I’m nowhere near the 64 ounces that is required. Forget protein shakes! Since surgery I cannot tolerate them at all! I’m just wondering if this will get better with more time? -
Drinking water 3 weeks post op and other worries
JRA2801 posted a topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Hi so not so sure if I’m doing my stages diets wrong or not, But I had my vsg surgery 8/2/21. my question is, I’m able to drink a lot of water/ vitamin water zero/diet drinks And don’t really have an issue. Is that bad or good? Also I feel like I’m able to eat more than I thought i should be able to. I’m worried that I’ll rip my stomach open or something. I have also been able to jog/ walk everyday, I was thinking that could be a reason for me being able to drink water easier? Also to be totally honest I had low fat ice cream when I hit onederland as a celebration. -
Less than a week and worried about Covid shutdown
Tony B - NJ posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am less than a week away from my VSG (8/31) and I am so worried that the Governor of NJ is going to force some sort of elective surgery shutdown like he did last year. I have gone through a lot over the past few months and it is so close now. Anyone else going through this? -
Weight loss has stalled for over 2 years. Gaining weight now
Stalled posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hello all, My name is Jen. This is my first post and I hope to find some support within this community. I had my gastric sleeve procedure in July 2017 at 22 years old. I was 310 pounds before the two-week fast and was 291 pounds at the time of the surgery. After the surgery, I lost weight rapidly, I was down to 225 pounds by December of that same year. But then my weight loss decreased and for the past 2.5 years, I've been stuck at an average weight of 215 pounds. Since COVID started, I have actually gained weight and am now 235 lbs (not being able to go to the gym has sucked). At one point nearly 2 years after my surgery I had even gotten to 196 lbs, which was a 100-pound weight loss. I want to lose another 100 pounds to meet my goal weight range of 135-140 lbs, which would be a healthy weight for my height and build. But I need help. I have other factors that are making weight loss more difficult. I have PCOS which naturally makes weight loss difficult. I use birth control pills to help regulate the hormones that are affected by PCOS. I also have had bone and joint problems since I was a child. I've been trying to focus on my diet, but I must admit I have a giant sweet tooth and I am a picky eater. Pizza and candy are my banes. I'm also a graduate student who is under a ton of stress and has very limited personal time. This makes exercising and preparing meals difficult. Despite these complications, I don't eat out at all, nor do I order take-in. I have a treadmill that I walk or jog on for at least an hour each day, and I attend Zumba twice a weak (I'm not very good at it haha). I am not diabetic or pre-diabetic but I do have asthma. So, is anyone else in a similar situation that would like to build a little group? I've never had any weight loss support and I am hoping that by building a group, I can find more motivation and encouragement as I lose 100 more pounds. TLDR: 4 years since VSG surgery and I'm still not at goal weight, keep stalling or gaining weight. Need friends in similar situations for support, guidance, motivation, and encouragement.- 8 replies

Last couple of weeks my stomach has felt odd
VakAttack posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm several years post surgery, it was in November of 2016 (wow). SUddenly the last coupe of weeks, my torso/stomach area have just felt odd. I'll feel twinges in my back, or in the front, and my stomach is just...laying weirdly? I'ts hard for me to define what I'm talking about, but maybe somebody has some experience. I lost over 130 pounds following the surgery to get down to around 270, and I've put a little bit back on in the last year and a half or so to where I'm hovering between 292 and 300. Any tips? My GP said it's nothing to worry about, just with rerouting the system thre will be oddities. I'm not in pain, but it just feels odd and uncomfortable. I shouldn't say I'm NOT in pain, I have back pain the last 5-6 months or so, predating the belly issues- 1 reply
