Post surgery struggles



Recommended Posts

I was told a plateau in weight loss is really normal. I’ve read to just give it a little time and you’ll start to see the lbs drop again :-).

Recommendations are to up your exercise just a little bit to boost yourself. Just keep doing what you’re supposed to and you should start to get right back on track.




That is what I have heard as well. I feel like this plateau is lasting a bit longer than it should. Trying to pinpoint it I am doing something wrong (which as someone else suggested it might be my eating habits) or it my body is too upset about losing the lbs to let go lol. Started up the gym this past week. Feels great!

Weight loss isn't linear. It's hard to accept that, cuz stalls suck!
You've lost about 2.67lbs per week. Average loss post surgery is anywhere between 2-4lbs per week. My doc says don't fret. In the end, everyone gets there around a very similar time. The ones that start early with a bang really taper off about midway and the ones who are slow and steady eventually catch them.
Hang in there. Find a good plan online. There are so many you can Google and read about--one that works for you and then come here and post often! Also, I second books like Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies, etc.

Thank you for the book suggestion. I definitely need that book lol. This is harder I anticipated but it is everything I expected it to be. I feel like my stall is a bit lengthy at the moment. Trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on.

I love all of your posts by the way! Very informative and make me laugh at the same time. Thank you :).
