I had VSG 04/08, and I have only lost 55 pounds total, including what I lost before surgery.

I exercise every day!

Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas on how to help?

The doctor explained that I would lose weight like the "stairs", instead of the "slide". It's not going to be smooth sailing all the way down. Our body will lose the weight but we must give it chance to regroup and refit our skins.

My surgery was in Feb 2019. My slowest progress so far was on my 3rd month (May). Once June came around, my progress increased again.

Good job exercising everyday.

Congratulations on losing 55 lbs. I recently lifted a 10 pound potato sack and it was "HEAVY"... So 55 is a lot! Awesome job!

Hang in there friend. We'll be skinny someday....soooon!

Thank you!

I am trying really hard! I know, I felt so silly saying "only 55 pounds" !

Thank you!

And good luck on your journey!

so you just had surgery in April? If so, at 55 lbs, you're ahead of where I was at that point.

Oh, maybe I am just paranoid then... I just feel like I am waaaaaaaay below average for post op weight loss.

I had surgery 2/25 and have lost 63 and I feel that's pretty good. I've only lost 5 pounds since June 1st.

I would say you're doing great!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
