2 months and 38 pounds



Recommended Posts

I have been stuck at 38 pounds for a week now. Sleeved 04/25 down to 217. I get 75 grams of Protein daily. Do we all go through stalls or what? I am able to eat more now and I really can tolerate everything. I am sticking to the meal plans too.

Stalls are a normal part of the weight loss phase.

As a side note, you are losing more rapidly than I ever did. It took me nearly 4 months to lose 38 pounds, but you've accomplished that in less than 2 months. You're doing well.

Good luck on your journey. :)

Agreed 100% with @Introversion. I weighed quite a bit more than you when I had surgery and I lost 45 lbs in 2 months, so I think you are doing fantastic.

Misery loves company! I'm also in a stall have great weight loss the first 5-weeks. I'm focusing on the total loss in addition to the fact that without the WLS I'd be gaining so staying flat is losing right :) Scary though it happened at the same time I started to eat sold foods.....

It's still frustrating but I'm keeping my head down and focusing on the plan.

BTW - I'm eating 90g of Proteins but I'm bigger than you as well.

I had surgery on 5/15, and I went through the "week 3 stall" for 12 days and am stalled currently. I lost a significant amount of weight about eight years ago with low carb and stalled often. I tend to lose in spurts. I think it's natural to do so, and if you are a steady loser, count yourself lucky!

I wish you success on your journey!

      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.

      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!
