Frustrated

[Rubykix7 2]

I was sleeved on May 15. I've lost about 29 lbs. It's very discouraging to do what you're supposed to and put on half a pound. I don't understand why the weight isn't coming off faster like some stories I've read. Maybe I should have gone with the bypass but I was afraid of the malabsorption.

Everyone looses at a different pace. Maybe the half of a pound weight gain is Fluid. Don't give up. I have not been sleeved yet, but I have done a lot of research about this type of surgery. Keep up the good work, it will pay off.

I had a couple of stalls in my first couple of months out. I got frustrated and discouraged and was to the point that I wanted to throw my hands up and eat a donut. BUT I didn't. Some weeks I lose more than others, I've even had a week where I gained, but it has been almost two months (6 weeks anyway) since I've had a week where I didn't at least lose SOMETHING. Keep the work up, the weight will come off. Everyone loses at a different pace, and you may end up and be a slow loser. Remember that the 29 pounds that you lost are gone forever, never to return. Keep your head up, as hard as it may be, and keep chugging along. Change things up a bit to see if that will help. Decrease your carbs, increase Protein or vice versa, increase your Water and exercise. Try to change things up and see if it will help. Good luck and keep pressing on!

I hit a stall and trust me it does not last! Maybe you should reevaluate what you are doing in the gym/ or what you're doing as far as exercising. Sometimes when you start weight training your body loses inches and remember muscle weighs more than fat! Be encouraged!!!!

Hang in there, I was sleeved Jan 28 and down 50 pounds I want it to be more but hey that's the way my body is and I have to say that I rather lose slow instead of never losing. Stay strong believe in you workout, eat your Protein and make good choices.

I was sleeved two days after you on May 17th. I'm down 31lbs. I'm on the same path as you and pretty darn happy with the results! I've averaged 4 lbs a week! And that's pretty darn awesome in my book!

I agree with changing things up! I notice that my scale doesn't move as often when I don't get over 80oz of fluids a day. That's a hard target for me, but am working on it! Also mixing up workouts is good too.

If you keep to your plan, its going to work and you'll get there!

How in the world do you get so much Water in? My intake is about half of what it used to be.

I was sleeved on June 5th. I am down 22 pounds since my surgery day. I feel the same way as you, I think most do. I can tell when I have not gotten in enough Protein and fluids. My body holds onto everything.

Retaining

Water

I'm in the same boat this week . I was sleeved June 4th and have lost 25 pounds since then but this week the scale says I'm up a pound. How is that even possible, lol?? A little depressed about it, but I'll keep soldiering on and hope next weigh in is better. I've lost 106 lbs since I started this whole journey back in October, 76 pre-surgery. I think I need to just focus on that and not let these small setbacks send me into a tailspin. Easier said than done, but I'm trying!

Holy cow! 106 lbs is amazing! Feel proud of yourself! I hit a stall about 2 weeks after surgery. I've put on half a pound here and there but it does come off. I know I need more exercise and apparently I need more Water cause now I'm dealing with Constipation. Fun.
