2 weeks no weight loss. GAINED.



Recommended Posts

So I mentioned last week that I was not losing weight. Well nothings changed. In fact I've gained 2 pounds! I'm getting very discouraged. I'm eating perfectly. Literally just Protein, veggies, and fruit. Getting in all my Water and Vitamins. Walking a mile a day, and still nothing! I'm so confused and I'm starting to feel like this surgery was for nothing.


Try walking an extra mile. See if that helps[emoji2]

It's normal to have a stall, but you may need to change your diet some to get your body back to losing. I had to up my calories and carbs. Talk to your dietician and see what suggestions they have.

I am three and a half months out from surgery and as of today I've lost 42lbs. I went through mist of December either not losing or fluctuating between staying the same and gaining 2lbs. I have since started losing again. I have found that every once in awhile the weight loss stalls for a bit. If you are eating enough Protein, drinking your Water and getting exercise you will start to lose again. Give yourself a break and be a little patient. Look at how well you've done so far.

I had the same.problem, and i figured out how to defeat this.... you need to move more. 1 mile will not cut it, especially if your food intake is different. It might not seem alot to you but what kind of calories are u eating vs exercising? I can't fit alot in my stomache but if I'm eating high calorie foods, i need to walk more than I usually would. It takes practice.. you will get there. What helped me? Get a fit bit. You can set goal on a monthly u want to lose each week. Mine is at 2 lbs... i input and look up calories for everything I stick in my mouth. The fit bit will tell you.. under budget? Time to eat.. if u go over budget after eating, its time to go for another mile walk... in zone means your right on target. Once I figured that out.. I dropped another two pounds.. I even had wine and ice cream.. but then I knew im not only doing 1 mile, im doing 2 or more. Get out there and enjoy this nice weather.

I had a 4 week stall gain in my 5th month that I could attribute first week to vacation but the rest of it made no sense. In the last 7 days I lost 8 lbs doing nothing. Well I did start eating more (I stopped counting carbs, Proteins, etc long ago) I had to stop going to the gym since I just had knee surgery as well. Our bodies do start figuring out what we are doing with it and adjust. Throw a wrench in your routine (change your Protein type, change your workout and use different muscles, add new veggies to your diet)

Is your digestive tract doing what it's suppose to do, or is it being slow? Your losing fat, but gaining muscle. Your body's going to do what it's going to do. Don't flip out, because it will just make you stress. Know you are doing the right things and wait it out. Your body just has to recalibrate.

I dropped then stalled then gained but don't I won't let that discourage me. Sometimes just a change up in your routine can make a difference. Look at what your eating. Do something different there. Are you exercising? If not start. If you are change what you're doing. Maybe just do cardio for a while.

I recently had a 2/3 week stall. My doctor said it's good and part of the process because you can end up in hospital if you consistently lose weight so rapidly. I was sleeved about 9/10 weeks ago. Don't worry you will start losing again! I was so concerned at first also. I even bought a Fitbit to help with exercise [emoji30][emoji23]

      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. 🤞
