Frustrated :( No weight loss....



Recommended Posts

My sugery date was 11/26 so just a little over 3 weeks out and its been a week and a half and I am losing I actually gain a pound then lose it...

Its so frustrating :( I am not seeing any movement, isn't too soon to be at a stand still.

Im doing mostly liquids and introducing some soft foods daily little by little. I have at least 60g o Protein each day as a bare minimum and on good days Im doing about 80g.

I am walking everyday 1 mile in 30 minutes which is sometimes hard but I push myself and I sweat and my heart rate goes up.

What am I doing wrong :(

Keep in mind your body is in a complete shock right now, it has entered starvation mode and is holding onto everything. Trust me this will pass and you will start losing. Everyone is different so be patient with your new body.

You don't need to weigh yourself everyday either if you have been. Your body is confused right now about why you have bee eating practically nothing! I've learned to take it one day at a time. Be happy that you made this decision and that your on your way to a happier healthier you!!

In a couple months you will read this same post from a new post opter and will chuckle to yourself.

Trust me we have all been there and we have all come out the other side! Don't get discouraged you did not put the weight on in a month and it will take your body time to adjust. You will have many stalls during this process, but they are only temporary and I have really noticed that when I stall on the scales I am still losing inches. Keep your chin up!

I am with you feeling it is coming off slowly. its hard when I went in my surgeon said I would lose 100 pounds in 4 months and I just don't think that's possible. I wish he wouldn't have said that to me. I am losing like 2 pounds a week.

i'm going to stop and see if that helps, I get 80 grams of Protein a day

Nikki its ok to eat low fat saltines just make sure you are not eating a lot of salt because that will make you hold on to the.fluid

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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