Not losing weight



Recommended Posts

@@Asm0108 You have to tell us what you are doing - to get any feedback about what changes you might need to make. 13 lbs in a month is nothing to sneeze at - we all lose at different rates. Are you drinking enough no-cal fluids? How about Protein - how many gms are you getting a day? You are also in the stall period - you may not be losing on the scale but your measurements will be different and your body is changing. If you're eating a lot of carbs (fruit, rice, Pasta, bread, etc.) - that could be an issue with weight loss. As long as you follow a high Protein, low carb diet and get enough fluids - the weight will come off. It's not a race - so be happy to lose 13 lbs and keep going!

@@Asm0108 What's your starting weight? You might be losing slower than you expected - but honestly - 13 lbs in a month is not bad at all. You're still recovering. Weight can also fluctuate if you are getting your period, retaining fluids (maybe you had too much sodium), Constipation, etc. Just keep moving to reach your goals.

Starting at a lower weight will mean slower weight loss. If you are likely to lose 75 pounds overall than you can't expect you'd lose 25-50% of that in first months, right? If your Protein and fluids are good just keep going and it will add up. I'm a 35 bmi and my dr said to expect the weightless to take a year.

I've heard and read that when you have hypothyroidism even b with these surgeries, it's sometimes slower to see the weight go, you may have to increase exercise perhaps but it's likely your metabolism.

It could be worse. I'm 2 months out and I only lost 7 lbs last month. And that is with tracking, counting, measuring, and exercising faithfully.

Oh WOW! It's kind of discouraging, isn't it? I'll keep doing what I'm supposed to and see what happens

13 lbs in one month is awesome at your weight. That's more than 3 lbs/week. Just keep doing what you're doing as long as you're getting plenty of Water and your Protein needed. You're on the right track.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
