Hello, I'm 4 months post op now and since my surgery I've lost a total of 43lbs. However, this past month seems like my weight is at a stand still. I definitely have lots more weight I need to lose, but I'm am feeling discouraged. Is there people that can relate to my situation? I started at 313 and started and I'm currently at 269 and I'm 5'6. Surgery date was 04.08.2013

Here's the typical answers, are you getting in your Water? And are you tracking your protien/ calories? I am only 4 weeks out, but friends who have gotten it before me warned me to not judge everything by the scale. They say it goes back and forth between pounds and inches. Sometimes they see a change on the scale, other times it stays the same, but when they measure they can tell a difference with the inches measurements, even if it is just a few added up all over. Keep plugging along, it will come!

you are ONLY 4 mos out, if you follow the RULEs, yes, you will continue to lose, PLEASE DO NOT weigh daily...... go to ONCE A MONTH.......think you are not losing...... try on some of your old TIGHT FITTING CLOTHES...... you are losing..........inches only maybe, but you are losing. STOP focusing on the ONE EYED MONSTER.........and I MEAN THE SCALES!!!!!!!.... your body has to adjust. YOU did NOT put it on overnight, what in the world makes you think it is going to MELT overnight, GIVE your body time to heal, adjust, It has almost 2 years and I am STILL LOSING!!!!!!!!! Don't rush your body! Check back to this post in a year and let us know how you are feeling! :D

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
