- Weight loss after bariatric surgery is usually not one smooth process - there are bumps along the road! This segment talks about some of the common transitions during the first year after the Gastric Bypass or the Sleeve, what to expect and how best to manage them.
This was literally EVERYTHING I needed to hear rn. I was feeling like I’ve got to be one of the only ppl to fail the sleeve at 3 weeks 😂
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Wish someone had told me about this beforehand. I have spent last 9 days wondering if my surgeon even removed my stomach and if I failed my surgery first time I ate. Hope my weight gets to moving soon. 😭
Best of luck!
@@DoctorJP Thank you! It's going slow and I still don't feel sleeved most days but I rely on measuring!
Me. I thought I was bamboozled to. This stall is serious. The video did help
I feel so much restriction! I'm just 4 weeks out. I literally cannot eat more than 2 ounces at a meal. I heard the bougie size used makes a difference. My surgeon used a 36 Fr.
LOL I thought the same thing. Did they just make incisions and left my stomach where it was??? After watching the video, I am re-assured that things are happening for a reason and my body doesn't care what my scale says. It's doing what it needs to do to heal.
Thank you! Finally a male doctor that brings up the menstrual cycle. Most of my weight loss has always fluctuated around my cycle but hardly anyone ever makes the correlation. I trust this guy!!
Didn't realize I was unusual! So glad this was helpful for you.
I've had to listen to this video 3 times in the last week to feel better about the stall. I started stalling right at the 3 week mark and now I'm 4.5 weeks out and still teetering on the same 2 pounds. Trying to be patient! Thank You Dr. Pilcher for this reassurance :)
Omg seriously I want to cry
I agree
Any update??
Same , 3-4 week feels like Im stock on 196
This man is a blessing , transmits so much peace .
Thanks so much Miss Rosie!
@@DoctorJP thank you for taking your time to educate us .
I woke up crying and dreading I was doing something wrong... my mind was spiraling... this video has calmed my worst fears that I won't reach my goals. I just couldn't understand why I stalled so quickly at 3 weeks post-op. I will be patient and consistent. Thank you for making this video.
I'm so glad it was helpful. Best of luck on your journey!
Girl you and me both. I’m exactly where you were at right now. Has the stall lifted and if so, how much weight have you lost since posting this, if you don’t mind me asking?
@@JustJaynE7 any updates on you??
Updates?
Great explanation and advice! I've worked in bariatric surgery nutrition for 15 years and you really hit the nail on the head here!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback!
Thank you so much. Post op 3 weeks and nothing for 10 days so far. I'm trying my hardest to not be depressed. I appreciate your well explained video.
Hang in there! Hopefully the weight is moving again now. Best of luck on your journey!
Finally a surgeon that’s not into crystal light & these artificial sweeteners makes me feel like I’m going against what I know that’s healthy and not (30 bmi starting off sleeve low bmi patient ) Definitely not worried about the weight coming off fast, this is for long term for me and health
Thank goodness. I feel the same way. I'm only 5 days post surgery
Me too! I'm at a 32 bmi and I feel judged for doing the vsg! Ugh. Any ideas or thoughts?
@christieorona I had a sleeve at Sage with Dr. Cavazos on Dec. 11, 2023. My BMI was 31 on the day of surgery. As for what others may think, I don’t worry about being judged. I know what my struggles with weight and health have been and I made the choice to get on top of my weight loss to improve my health. And it’s working! In my opinion, in makes sense to have WLS before the co-morbidities get out of hand-and the medical literature supports this theory. I wish you great success!
I watched this yesterday when I hit my first day of "stall" (7 days after surgery). This morning, I weighed myself again...couldn't help it... and was still at the same weight. I came back to get re-assurance that the surgery is working. Thanks again for this VERY informative video. The lesson for me: STOP weighing myself daily. The surgery was a success and I need to let my body adjust the way it needs to adjust.
I know it can provoke anxiety, you've put so much time and energy and emotion into this, there's a fear of this intervention failing like the others. I feel very confident for you that the weight will start coming down again soon. Best wishes.
I’m in the same spot you were a year ago now but I do notice that even tho the numbers on the scale aren’t moving much, I do seem to fit into some of my clothes differently so I count these times as “Non scale victories”. They happen a lot more than we realize because we’re so used to wanting that number on the scale to move and we don’t even realize theirs other ways to see a difference!!
This has helped me so much - I’m literally right in the middle of the three week stall (and I had no idea this was even coming). I’ve gotten so much more information here - I can’t thank you enough!!!
So glad this was helpful - best of luck on your journey!
Same for me!!!
I’m in my three week stall!!!! Thank you for this information. I feel better about this now
I needed this video so much. I've lost 3 lbs in 3-4 weeks. I was crying. I needed to hear this
So glad this was helpful, and best of luck with the rest of your journey!
I needed to see this!! Thank you!!! I’m stalled 2 weeks post op...
Glad this was helpful!
I'm in 2weeks and I think I've stall. No weight loss in 3 days
Very informative and reassuring with actionable ideas ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very glad this was helpful!
The one time my youtube algorithm truly delivered right on time. I'm at the 3 week mark and none of this was on my mind, but at the same time, it all makes sense now. Thank you
Outstanding! Very glad this was useful, and best of luck on your journey!
Omg I needed this so much! I knew about the 3 week stall but still was so depressed about it. I kept thinking I’m gonna be one of those people that went through all the surgery, pain and crazy dieting only for it not to work. It’s very comforting to here a doctor say all of this. I loved this entire video from beginning to end. You explained so much that I was confused about. I thought I stalled at 3 weeks because I started eating puréed foods and my body was just holding onto the food for dear life. And I was confused as to why the scale says since post op I’ve lost weight but all my clothes still seem to fit the same. This explained everything! Truly thank you so much doctor!!!
So glad this was helpful!
I’m right where you are, at 3 weeks post op and haven’t lost in over a week. This video was so insightful and helpful. We got this!
Hello Dr. Pilcher you are such a Blessing. I just had my Gastric Bypass on 10/26/22 and it is at the 3 weeks stall. On the day of my surgery I was at 256 and my 2 week post-opt visit I weigh in at 236 right at 20 pounds loss. This week I haven’t loss anything. I’m just at a stall. I’m so glad that I came across this video because you have explained each stages that I should be ready for if it come to pass. I truly believe that I have a great Bariatric Team to work with. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for being there for someone like me learning on how to take care my new stomach and to live a healthier lifestyle on my new journey.
Thanks you for All that you do.
So glad this is helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
Wonderful video! Thank you so much.
So very welcome!
I first watched this video before my bariatric surgery. After my bariatric surgery, I have continuously returned to this video for a perspective check and self-education. I feel that it is relevant and speaks to the multiple stages of the journey - as a person reaching their 1-year goal. Everything shared is on point -- including the fairy mother weight versus the "ideal weight". Thank you for making these videos. You can't put a price on the amount of time and research you provide to us as a doctor with extensive experience about the post-bariatric experience. Best,
Thanks so much for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Thank you, I like the concise information
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! IT HAS TRULY HELPED ME IMMENSELY!!
So glad it was helpful. Best of luck on your journey!
I know this was posted a while ago, but this has been so helpful! I have gastric sleeve surgery scheduled in 8 days and I want to be as mentally prepared as possible. This was very informative!
So glad this was useful! Best of luck on your journey!
Thank you for this info. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I’m having the mini bypass on October 1, which is not long now and I’m feeling excited and can’t wait. My husband and daughter aren’t happy about me getting it done as 5 years ago I had the sleeve done but my weight came back but now my knees and ankle are killing me due to injuries I’ve had over the years. I’m doing this surgery for me and hopefully my family will except this. Right now my ankle is giving me a lot of grief and I’m walking in a moon boot and I can’t do without it because of my injury. So once I have this surgery I’m hoping that with the weight loss my knees and my ankles won’t be suffering anymore. I’m struggling to exercise because of my injuries. I’m looking forward to it! These videos have helped me a lot and I want to thank you Dr❤
Best of luck on your journey!
Thank you for this! This has helped me
So glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
What a helpfully video, thank you kindly.
Glad it was helpful!
I had a stall at 3 months after losing 50 pounds, this video is amazing and very helpful thank you
So glad it was helpful. Best of luck on your journey!
@@DoctorJP Thank you God bless 💖💖
I'm on a stall after 3.5 months...I was only losing 2 pounds a week max...how long did your stall last? This is awful
I found this very helpful!
Please keep the videos coming.
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. And yes, I'm definitely working on some more videos...
Thank you so much for this video! You are truly appreciated. I will start weighing myself every Friday instead of every day. I cant wait to get out of this 3 week stall.
Thank God, advice from a medical professional! Thank you so much and keep these videos coming!
Thanks for watching! Best of luck on your journey!
Best video yet. I love the science in it. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback!
The best and most informational off all I've seen. 👏👏👏👏👏impressed!
Thanks for watching!
I’m so glad I found your video! It’s very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much Dr! I'm 3 days into my 3rd week and I've lost 21lbs since my surgery on the 9th. I was so depressed and disappointed in myself because I thought I was doing something wrong. My starting weight was 289lbs. Prayerfully, it'll start dropping again soon!
Thanks for checking in SteffiBee, and best of luck on your journey!
Hey there! I know it’s been a year but I’m exactly where you were right now. My starting weight, before 2 week the pre op liquid diet was 322. I got down to 312 the day of my surgery. I’m now at 288 . I haven’t lost any weight in the last week and thankfully this video gave me some hope. My question to you is.. the 91lbs you lost so far, are you counting the pre op weight you lost or just the weight since you had the surgery? Thanks and good luck on the rest of your journey!!
@@JustJaynE7 update?
One of the most informative videos I have seen. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I absolutely love you ! This was explained so eloquently and detailed
So glad this was helpful. Best of luck on your journey!
Doc you’re amazing thank you 🙏
Thanks for this, and your several other kind comments! Best of luck on your journey!
Thank you so much for this fantastic information . You gave better information then anyone ......
You are so kind! Thanks for watching and best of luck on your journey!
I’m right there and this makes me feel so much better!
Glad this was helpful. Best of luck on your journey!
Dr Pilcher, we appreciate you and your videos so much. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
this is excellent! i am just coming out of the three week stall and this helps affirm the plan going forward. Too often we read the fairy tale part of the story and skip over the part where she lost the slipper. This helps keep the mindset strong. Thank you so much.
Very glad you're thinking for the long term. Best of luck on your journey!
What an informative video. Thank you so much for laying out the road ahead.
You are very welcome - best of luck on your journey!
Thank you very much doctor.
Most welcome!
Wow! This was extremely helpful. It has helped me to understand this process so much better. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Doctor!!
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Thank you for this fantastic video. It explained so much and some of the symptoms i was experiencing !
I'm very glad this was useful. Best of luck on your journey!
Amazing information. You answered so many questions for me!!!
Glad it was helpful!
These videos are the best information that I've seen anywhere regarding bariatric surgery.
Thanks for watching, best of luck on your journey!
You are a gift from Gd and a true MENSCH! Thank you for all of this! Every video is GOLD and you speak to patients with such compassion and clarity. I’d like to mention that measuring is so very helpful when you are on this journey because patients can lose inches and not just “weight”, so be sure to take your measurements frequently, as well. And, thank you for stating you are not a fan of artificial sweeteners. Big love to you, Doc!
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Thank you so much for this video. Literally avoided a nervous break down 😅🙏🏼♥️
Glad it helped!
So thankful for this video. I literally woke up this morning and cried because I got on the scale and this is the 11th day that I haven't lost not a single pound or ounce. I was bypassed (January 24th, 2022) and lost 22lbs the first 2 weeks and absolutely nothing since then. It's mentally draining but this video reassured me. Thank you so much!
So glad this was the right message at the right time. Best of luck on your journey!
Your videos are so informative. I love it. This is really hepful😊
Very glad this is useful for you. Best of luck on your journey!
Thanks so much, Dr. Pilcher for your straightforward, informative and heartfelt presentations. These videos have been invaluable in my understanding of my surgery and what to expect moving forward.
Glad they are helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
I just started week 3 I haven’t had a rapid weight loss phase yet. So far I’ve loss 13 lbs since surgery.
Hello Chrissy, losing 13 pounds in 2-3 weeks could well be a good start if your pre-op weight was less than about 230 pounds (people who start lighter don't lose as many total pounds, but they tend to end up at a lower weight than people who start over 300 pounds). If you began in the upper 200's or higher, then I recommend for you please to talk with your bariatric team about this concern at your next visit.
How are you doin now Chrissy?
@@conradbarrett6 by October 2021 I got down to 197 from 300 (surgery weight) before I found out that I was pregnant… I am 7 months pregnant and gained 43lbs. The crazy thing is, I don’t look like it so 🤷🏽♀️
Thanks Dr very helpful
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
Hey, thank you so much for this video, this is a great service for the post surgery community!
So glad it was useful. Best of luck on your journey!
I am starting my 3rd week and have heard of this stall but you explained it and everything to expect after very well. Thank you!
Glad this was helpful!
Thank you this helped loads
So glad this was helpful! Best of luck with your journey!
@@DoctorJP if I were to get ahold of your practice what would be the best way?
@@TR-lk6sz sure thing T R, the easiest thing is to call my office at 210.614.0303. Ask for Diana or Bianca.
Thank you very much for a very informative video. I have done alot of research before surgery but your video is the only one that has given me confidence about how to handle the changes. Thank you for being so clear and straight to the point.
Thanks for watching, and best of luck!
Amazing information exactly as it happened in my case..I was wondering what was happening to me...now I understand. Thanks for the information Doctor 👍🏾
Very glad this was useful, best of luck on your journey!
I have saved this video - it is going to be a "go-to" for me through this journey. What you explained about the abrupt stop after surgery is something I would never have known. I would have just though that the surgery did not go well. Thank you for all this good information.
So glad this was useful, and best of luck on your journey!
Tremendously helpful! Gives me a template for this next year. It had never occurred to me to make journaling a regular practice around the 6 month mark
Thanks for watching, and my compliments on staying actively engaged at this medium timeframe after your surgery. Best of luck on your long-term journey
Im being set up for a revision of my 1995 vertical banded gastroplasty, to a Roux en Y bypass. You have taught me more than i ever learned the first time around. Thank you.
OK! Best of luck going forward!
Thank you. I was just thinking about the stall. This is my 4th week since my surgery. Now , I understand.
Best of luck going forward!
Omg this doc is legit! Wish I would have found him to do my surgery. Thanks doc for this information. I never had a three week stall but I did have a three month stall. This explains things so well
So glad it was helpful!
I’m currently at my 3 wk stall and have been extremely frustrated. According to my doctors my numbers are great but I was a bit concerned until I watched your video. Thank you doc, I really needed to hear this. (Big sigh of relief) 😌😌😁
Yes! Can be an anxious time! Best of luck on your journey!
Thank you . Really helpful for me, the moment of depressing... and yes i have to weigh my self weekly to stay sane. :)
Glad it's been helpful!
So happy I found this. I lost 12 lbs in the first 3 weeks. I've been the same for the past 2 weeks. I was losing my mind. Walking 2 times a day. Writing down everything I eat. Just going crazy. Thank you Dr. Pilcher.
You got this!
Thanks so much for this info. I am experiencing the stall now and I'm one month out. ❤️❤️
That sounds about right. Hang in there!
Omg thank you so much for this video it is a life saver I had the sleeve in 2019 regained 40 lbs of the 90lbs I lost I just got revised to the gastric bypass 6 days ago and I wish I had these tips before in 2019
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
@@DoctorJP thank you!
Thank you so much doctor, I was feeling so stressed. I’m in that 3 weeks that the scale is stuck, was even thinking that it had not worked for me. And I’m following the diet and exercising. Thank god it seems actually normal 🙏🏻
Sure thing. Best of luck on your journey!
Great things to share with those who have had wls.
Thanks for watching!
YES!!!!! I started stage three soft foods and the third week stall all at the same time I was like how I'm following everything the doctor said etc. Weighed myself this morning and lost a few pounds lol. Just have to remind myself it's a healing process and adjustments
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
This was so helpful. I’m almost 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve and I love about 12 pounds the first 2 weeks and haven’t lost anything in a week now. I’ve saved this to remind myself that the surgery did work but I’m still recovering and my body is catching up. Thank you!
Glad this was helpful, and best of luck on your journey!
This was very helpful. I’m 4 weeks post op and I’ve been stalled for a few days.
That weight will be coming down for sure. Best of luck on your journey!
I am so glad I found your video. I'm at 6 months and I noticed I get hungry more often. I also have platued. I've been the same a couple weeks now. I had my surgery Sept 7th I lost 15 1bs on the Liver shrink diet and I lost 74 lbs after surgery. Thank you for helping me see what I need to do.
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Mine is more like a second week stall, but I think I'm finally coming out the other end of it! It does worry you for a while though becuase you wonder if you are doing something wrong. Thanks for this video!
Glad this was useful, and best of luck on your journey!
So glad that I found this. I’ve been beating myself up. Miserable, between the trying ti drink water. Protein and the constipation. I’m 3 weeks out and can’t wait to feel better.
You got this! Best of luck on your journey!
AMAZING INFORMATIVE VIDEO
Very glad this was helpful!
I'm having surgery tommorow and watching this was extremely helpful and great
Best of luck!!
How are you doing? I had my surgery 3 weeks ago tomorrow. I started at a lower weight 224 and I’m down to 196, I feel like I’m in a stall which I knew before hand could happen. I’m trying to make sure I stay hydrated. I trust the process and know that I’m doing everything that I’m supposed to. Best of luck.
Thank you so much I was so worried am 3 weeks in and am stalled I was wondering what’s going on why am stuck this video is very detailing and helpful Thank you so much I appreciate it a lot 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪💪
You are very welcome, and best of luck on your journey!!
I had gastric bypass (RNY) conversion from VBG on July 28th (2022) so I’m at that stall point & have been for the past week. Frustrated is an understatement. I’ve been decreasing my calories & still taking in my vitamins & protein & water & fluids. Still not budging with my weight. Seriously this has helped me a lot. Although I have had others tell me in a bariatric support group I’m in on FB that it happens to most people I guess it didn’t really sink in that this is normal until I heard it explained. I now have some hope. Thanks so very much.
Best of luck on your journey!
I got my first appointment in a couple weeks so I’m trying to soak in all the info I can going in. Thank u for this, I’d definitely would have got upset if this had happened and I didn’t kno.
Good luck!!
Thank you for your input about not weighing every day. I weigh myself once a week now on Saturday. Sometimes I'm tempted to weigh on Sunday too,but I try to not do it and just except my weight for that day. Thank you again!
I like your plan, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
@@DoctorJP Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. I was losing my mind wondering what is going on. I contacted a member of my surgical team, only for him to tell me that I need to workout more. Bear in mind that I was already working out at least 20 minutes (cycling) a day or 2 hours at most (cycling, walking, dancing). And this man still said it wasn't enough and I needed to run. Totally downplayed my efforts. I was so hurt and furious. Thank God I didn't listen to him and just decided to just keep doing what I was doing. This video explains things better and calmed my fears.
So glad this was helpful! That scale should start moving again soon!
Thank you so ooo much for all the information that you post. It has not only prepared me for surgery but has been a tremendous help in my first three weeks post gastric bypass surgery. I lost 10lb my first week and only 2lb my second week, I'm disappointed but trying to stay positive.
Hang in there! You got this!
How are you getting on, Nicola?
@@sbo3 Hello, I'm not too bad thank you. The awful smell of meat has now disappeared thank goodness and I'm able to eat a wider range of foods. It's been 14 weeks since my op and I've lost 3st 6lb so far 😁. Hope you're well.
Thanks for this. My stall started at 2 weeks and im still in it at the end of week 3.
Hope your weight-loss has started back by now. Best of luck on your journey!
This was so helpful. I really appreciate this information being posted. I lost 34 lbs my first week and I have been sitting there for the past 2 weeks. I'm only 3 weeks post-op, so I can't complain. But I'm gonna keep on pushing. I'm confident that things will pick back up once my body adjusts. Thank you so much!
Agree, you are destined to lose a LOT more weight. Best of luck on your journey!
Way to go! Sounds like you're doing fantastic! Keep going.
I’m almost a week post op and nothing….???
I wish I had watched this whole thing prior to surgery.
I stalled at 1 month, and have been the same for about 3 weeks now. 😢 Great info here, thank you. I was so frustrated and sad.
You got this! Best of luck on your journey!
What did you eat or introduce during this time of the stall?
@@DoctorJP 🥰
@lindseyburchrealtor I just continued with my plan, largely on a daily basis, 60 grams of protein, 64+ oz water, raw vegetables and fruit. Eventually, I would all of a sudden drop 5 pounds, and realized this was going to be the normal way for me. I'm down 110 pounds now and I only weigh myself once a month or so. The best thing that helped, though, was changing my mindset and telling my body that I loved it, that the excess could go now because I am safe. 🥰😍
@@MichelleIbarraMHAEdD awww I love that so much
Had my VSG 12 days ago & I lost 11kg (24 pounds)..the truth is Dr John vids gave me so much information than my surgeon in Kuala Lumpur.. thank god I stumbled into it & I'm feeling really optimistic for my weight loss journey..
God Bless you Dr John..
So glad this was helpful - best of luck on your journey!
This is such a helpful, informative video. I am 4 weeks post-op vsg, and I've lost 29 lbs since my surgery. My restriction is very tight. I can only eat 2 ounces per meal. More than that, and I vomit. Sorry, I know that's gross. Anyway, I was worried about not getting in all the food I should, but you've made me feel better with your explanations.
Glad this was helpful!
Thank you so much for explaining this! I’ve literally been at the 3-week stall for 3 weeks! Now I get it. Im not failing - it’s just natural for my body post surgery now that im at 6 weeks post op! This explained so much!
Absolutely, and best of luck on your journey!
How long can the stall last? I’m at the stall right now and I’m almost 4weeks post op. I’ve lost 2 lbs in 2 weeks and it’s driving me insane!!
@@JustJaynE7Hey do you have an update on this to calm my nerves? I’ve been at the same weight for three weeks now and I’m like 4 weeks post op. I literally lost 21 lbs in a week and a half after my operation and then got really sick but the scale hasn’t moved.
Im here!!!! hahahaha this is where im at right now!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! tomorrow is my 4th week post op!
Been at 260/261 for the past week... Coming from 302 preop.
So glad this was helpful! Best of luck on your journey!
Had my gastric sleeve surgery at the end of April 2023. Fast weight loss for 2+ months. For the past 3 weeks or so, weight loss has stalled. It was very disconcerting at first until I remembered that i've really increased my activity with weights and cardio. So, I'm building lean muscle mass, which weighs more than fat. I can also see in the mirror that I have less fat. I also increased my protein and water intake. Thanks for your information and encouragement!
Sounds good - best of luck on your journey!
😢 I’m so glad to find this! Cause I’m getting so frustrated! I’m doing everything I’m supposed to but not losing a thing and having pcos has made this all too familiar territory for me.
Thanks for watching, and best of luck on your journey!
Any update??
I had my sleeve done on June 16th at Sage and lost 15 pounds at my one week check up. Since then I haven't lost much else. I've become very discouraged, but I feel a little better after watching this video. I have a lot of trouble staying hydrated, but I did before the surgery also.
So glad this was helpful, and best of luck on your journey!
How are you doing now? I also lost 13.5 lbs 1 week after getting the sleeve. Then I stalled now for about 3 weeks. It’s so annoying. I thought I was on pace to lose at least 20 lbs in the first month but now I don’t see that happening. The 13.5 lbs isn’t even noticeable to me aside from the scale and my shirts being slightly lose. I went from 241 to 228 and now nothing
Hi I had my surgery June 16 of this year.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. It helps so much. My bariatric team stops helping right at surgery. I don't have anyone to help me. So...I made an appointment with the surgeon which he seems fairly good. I'm
from Texas. I had the
Sleeve Procedure.
I lost 10 pounds pretty fast then about 3 more. I was at 251. I'm 5'6. I always weighed about 185. With retirement and Covid sitting around.i I gained the weight. I have been walking and now joined a gym. Im' so frustrated because I thought I would lose more. My cabinets & refrigerator are packed with bariatric foods. I don't eat out, I don't have desserts or sweet foods. Help, please! What should I ask my surgeon? Thank you.
You are not alone in this situation. Not sure if you've seen one of my other videos, but I put it together for exactly this question: czcams.com/video/m6yc2opPOf4/video.html

23 days out post op VSG surgery and I’m experiencing the stall. Drinking more water, eat 2-4oz per meal. This video was very helpful 😊
So glad it was helpful - best of luck on your journey!
I’m literally 3 weeks post op and this is what I’ve been experiencing . Just trying to stay away from scale as much to keep positive. 30lbs lost since pre opp so still a huge Win 😊
You got this!
