Weight loss too slow !



Recommended Posts

I wanted some feedback on your experience post up with weight loss. I'm 7 weeks out and have just lost 30 lbs. I've stuck there for about 2 weeks now and I'm getting worried at this point, even have considered calling my surgeon or primary care. I just went back to work this week and I feel great otherwise. Just wondering if I'm expecting too much too soon.

Thanks for sll the support!

Hi I think you've done really well. Although I've not had my op yet I'm thinking it all takes time and some lose quicker than others and maybe people with more to lose it goes faster like on a ordinary diet? Good luck xxx

I'm sure you feel discouraged but from what I've heard in support group this is quite normal. Your body thinks, in the beginning, that your trying to starve it so it holds on to everything. After awhile your body will relax, your hormones will level out and your metabolism will kick in and the weight will come off. For example, one last in group talked about how it took her almost 3 months before she started seeing consistent weight loss. Also, talk closely with your nut and doc. I've also heard that not getting all your Water and Protein in will cause slow weight loss. I hope this helps and you soon are back on track. Best of luck on your journey!

I don't think your lose is slow at all. I am 4 weeks and hit 23 lbs. You are averaging alittle over 4lbs a week which I think is great! Make sure you get all your Protein, maybe even up it, and all your Water. I think you are on track!

It's all normal. We all hit stalls even me. The weight will come off. Don't think about it too much.

Hi I'm new here. I had my surgery 4/22/13 I have only lost 26lbs after a month. I don't know I guess that is not so bad. I have never lost 26lbs in a month before.

Somehow I thought it would be quicker.

I told my doctor I was stalled, he told me to stay off the scale. Only weigh once a week.

I agree with your doc! 26 lbs in a month is crazy good!! That is almost a lb a day. I would be thrilled with that. Celebrate your victories and remember it is a marathon not a sprint!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
