6mths since surgery no loss in 3 mths



Recommended Posts

My surgery was July 11 in mx. The first 2 to 3 mths were great. I lost 41lbs. Went from a size 26 to an 18. I've had no weightloss in 3 months. Calories are typically at 1000. I know I need to get more Protein in and workout but I feel like the scale is never going to move again. 6mths out I'm worried I've lost my prime opportunity to lose weight. I was a previous Lapbander and that wasn't successful due to complications.

???? just feeling like I've now had two weightloss surgeries and I'm still obese!!!

Anyone still lose a decent amount of weight after 6mths?

Yes, I lost about 40% of my excess after 6 months. Working out was primary in my program along with good nutrition, rest, and Water.

You can do it!

I had the sleeve done July 29,13 I starfed out at 266 , on day of surgery I was 242, today when I carried my husband to the Dr I weighed 198. Don't give up keep going making good choices and drinking your Water and exercise. The weight will start coming off again.

I lost quite a bit of weight after 2 years out! It can be done. The first 6 months are the easiest, but don't give up, the sleeve will still work for you later on. I still feel restriction if I do Protein first and add a couple of 16 hour "fasts" a week. (eat a early dinner one day, and eat a late lunch the next day causing a 16 hour fast) this helps me to feel the restriction in my sleeve better.

      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. 🤞
