5 weeks post op and no weight loss



Recommended Posts

The only weight I've lost is the weight for my pre op diet (almost 20 lbs). I haven't lost any weight since surgery. I also can basically eat anything I want (I don't, but haven't had anything throwing up, nothing getting stuck. I'm also walking at least 10,000 steps a day (usually hit 15,000) I don't understand why I'm

Not losing. First fill isn't for another 2 weeks.

Advice on losing? Diet is still a couple

Protein shakes and small Protein meal. Do you lost more after fills?

Wake up- walk 2-3 miles- Protein shake (pre made same ones I used pre op), I am on feet all day for work- shake for lunch, hard boiled eggs (example) for snack, small Protein dinner. Bed around 11pm. No snacking. Probably 1000 calories a day. Maybe my portion sizes are too big because I'm not having any side effects and can still eat larger portions.

Are you measuring your food? My meals are no more then a half cup. I'm also only getting around 700 calories a day.

You seem to be doing well... With exercise and healthy food choices. Congratulations!

So I say Trust the Process.

It does work for many!

Gotta have some faith that this was a huge step in reclaiming your life!

Just keep being the great healthy version of your life and good things are coming your way

The fills will truly help on hunger and portion size if the doc manages them right.

Keep posting and let us know how you and your band are doing.

Are your shakes approx 100 calories? Does that mean your dinner is approx 800 calories? Maybe that is too much at the end of the day ; I have the sleeve and not the band - so maybe some differences ..... just wondering -are you tracking using an app like MFP or estimating

The shakes are 100 cal each. Snacks probably 200 cal in dinner around 3 to 400 calories. I guess I will see how I do after my first Fill. I just thought I would be down a lot more by now. I appreciate the replies and positiveness!

      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. 🤞
