Weight loss kind of slow



Recommended Posts

I know everyone is different, so everyone will lose at a different rate, but I feel like I am at a standstill. I am 32 days out and have lost 19.3 pounds. For the past 4 days I've been just about the same weight yet I know I'm eating the way I should. I just feel like I should be losing more by now. Has anyone else had this problem?

Did you have a stall at about the third week post-op? This might be that for you. Everyone goes through it. There will be stalls on-and-off throughout the journey. This is when the body is "catching up" with all of the weight loss and changes.

Your problem is not your rate of loss. It is your unrealistic expectation. A body is not a machine. Stalls are expected. To lose 19 lbs in a month is great. How many years did it take to become obese and how many more to stay that way? And now there's an emergency to lose it?

Lost weight is weight lost. That's a good thing.

I'm 3 months post op and have only lost 19 pounds - so it could be slower! Part of it depends on how much you have to lose. The lower your BMI, the slower it will be. My current BMI is 32.2, and my weight loss is going VERY slow. BUT, try increasing your Protein and Water. I bumped mine from 50 grams of Protein a day to 60 (trying to keep increasing it) and upped my Water from 50 ounces to 64+ and I can already tell a difference. Be patient with yourself. They say slow loss is better for you than fast loss anyway. Plus you're less likely to have super loose skin.

What do they say is normal or Average to loss first month and in the coming months . I also feel I'm losing it very slow .

It really depends on your starting weight /BMI. Weight loss can't be predicted. Everyone is different. Follow your plan and you're losing at the rate that's right for you.

4 days is not a stall. Get off the scale and go for a walk.

In all that led you to the point of having surgery, did you ever have a month where you gained 19 pounds? Didn't think so. This isn't a magic bullet. This is a marathon and not a sprint. Be patient and kind to yourself. You will have stalls. You may even have gains. This is not linear -- it is not a straight line down. I'm 2 months out - down 55 pounds from my high weight and 31 pounds from my surgery weight. My BMI is down 9 points. I'm down 3 pants sizes. I don't have clothes that fit correctly now. I was not a low BMI surgery but I wasn't really high either -- Take one day at a time. Work the plan and plan the work.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
