  1. 1. When did your toughest weight loss plateau occur?

    • Within the first two months after surgery - pretty discouraging to go through the surgery and not be losing weight!
      60
    • Two to six months after surgery - sticking to the diet, but haven't yet hit your stride
      50
    • Six to 12 months after surgery - I was doing fine at first, but
      55
    • More than one year after surgery - those last several pounds are the toughest!
      7
    • Having trouble maintaining - every day is a struggle.

I had surgery 26 nov 2012, I went in at 218 and today 6 Aug 1 am at 175. I have been at 175 for 3 months. It's discouraging but the weight I am at today was always the weight I maintained or would make a goal weight. I hope it moves. My goal is 155.

I have been doing well since hitting six months the weight loss is touchy. .I used to weigh a couple times a week and would notice that every week I would lose. Now I lose maybe one week out of the month. I noticed I am hungry more often now, been trying to stay away from the bad carbs and eat more fruits and veggies. I am also gonna stop weighing as much maybe once a week..

I am so discouraged. My surgery was on December 29th. I lost 19 pounds from my preop diet and Week 1. After that, I haven't lost an ounce. I'm so afraid that I won't lose any more weight. I'm following the diet and exercising three times a week for an hour each session. Perhaps it is my age (54)?

Has anyone had a sleeve done and not lost weight?

Hoping the weight loss will pick up again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks

I'm 3 almost 4mths postop and I have hit 2 weight loss stalls. I'm noticing inches falling off but when I saw my doctor for my 6wk follow up he said he would like me to lose another 20lbs by the next time we got together. Well that appointment is just around the corner and I have only lost 6lbs since then!!! I'm frustrated because I follow the diet, I exercise and I'm just not seeing the scale move. My clothes have gotten bigger but why am I not seeing on the scale?!! Please help!!!

At around 6-7 weeks postop I gained 3 pounds and sat there for a month. I was going through a non-surgery related illness and the meds I was taking made me super nauseous. I could barely eat or drink anything. As soon as I switched medications and started eating again the stall ended.

But I wouldn't say this or any stall was "tough". This was just the longest one. I never worried about it too much, because I knew stalls were normal.

I had my surgery done 8/12/13 my weight before surgery was 451lbs, my weight the day of my surgery was 431lbs, and my weight as of yesterday was 348lbs. I just recently got over a 9 month plateau. I have yet to have a successful fill so I've basically been losing on my own. During my plateau I tweaked my diet and my exercises.

6 months out was my 3 week (at least) stall. Finally realized I needed to crank it up in the gym a little more and eat a little different to shake it up. Thank goodness that passed, it was mentally exhausting.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
