Weight loss haulted!



Recommended Posts

Since the beginning of my weight loss journey, I am down 100 lbs, and I feel wonderful. However, I’m 6 mo post-op gastric sleeve and have stalled in my weight loss. I am not what you would call extremely active but much more so since I’ve lost some weight. My Water intake lacks, and I also find it difficult to to get in my required Protein on a daily basis without drinking at least 1 protein supplement. I have a follow up next month with my nutritionist. Jut wanting to know if anyone else has this problem and if there are any suggestions to jumpstart my weight loss again.

It's normal to have stalls from time to time. Our bodies need to rest to adjust to our having lost a great deal of weight. Stick with the basics of weighing and measuring everything you eat, get 64 oz of Water in each day, get 60 g of Protein in each day, and stay between 600-800 calories.

You listed the reasons you may not be losing weight, so focus on those. Get more activity. Drink more Water. Eat more Protein. I eat 1200 calories a day, so I don't necessarily agree with Grady on the 600-800 calories a day, but I also don't remember how much I ate at 6 months post op, so maybe that's about right. But, regardless, focus on getting your protein, water, and activity up. At over 1 year post-op, I still supplement with a Protein Shake or Quest protein chips every day; if I didn't, I wouldn't get enough.

I’m just a bit frustrated and concerned at the same time. But I am also opened to advice and comments to get me on the weight loss path again. At looking at your statistics you are taller than me but our starting weight was about the same. I know everyone is different, but would like to know what is working for you

I use Healthy Smart drinks that I mix with my coffee....I get them from Nashua Nutrition! They are about 80-100 calories, 15 grams of protien and 7 carbs..and taste awesome! A little pricey but worth it!

      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. 🤞
