7 months slowdown/stall ?



Recommended Posts

I had what I think was a banner 6 month post-op experience. Lost 101 pounds from the day of surgery (plus 44 pounds pre-op) then things changed.

I only lost 5 pounds in the past 30 days. Anyone else hit a wall right after 6 months ???

Yes. Between jan and now i have lost maybe 5 lbs. But I changed some things to slow my weight loss. Like incorporating carbs into my diet more regularly. Like for instance, i wouldn't dare eat a sandwich, crackers nothing, now i do. I'll eat 1/2 turkey sandwich on multigrain or whole wheat crackers with chicken salad. Pretzrls with my apples and mozzarella cheese. This slowed me waaaaaaaay down apparently because ive clearly only lost about 6 lbs from Jan to now. But i wanted to slow down to like 5 lbs a month. I'm fine with it. I'm very close to goal, and as long as I'm not gaining.

Also hit a six month plateau, lasted about five weeks. I had to increase Protein and Water to break through. My surgeon said it's the first possible set point for me since surgery, and that my next lower set point should be 8-12 lbs lower.

The more weight you lose the slower it will be. I'm one year out this week and at my goal weight. Lost 125lbs total. 100 of that was in the first 7 months. Took 4 more months to lose the last 25!

I'm in the 7 month stall boat too. Surgery was July 20th. Lost well the first six months, then February brought no weight loss. I've lost just a couple pounds in March. I need to eat less carbs. [emoji20]

My surgery was a week later on July 27th.

I've done 2 of the 5 day pouch tests since the first of the year. I lost 6+ pounds each time. This after 9-12 months post surgery.

      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.
