I lost a total of 100 pounds . Thirty before my surgery, 70 pounds afterwards. It took me twelve months to lose that seventy. I too saw people losing ten pounds a week. I think those people are the extreme.
Slow and steady is good. Be prepared for frustration and stalls.
My surgery was almost ten years ago and I have been able to keep most of the weight off, right now I’m seven pounds up.

I’m only five years out, but maintain a weight loss either side of 100 pounds by about five pounds. 100 in summer 95 in winter. I am generally physically active five days a week. The past three weeks I’ve been struggling with a sinus issue.
Otherwise I still weigh myself every day and track my eating even on the bad days when I eat too much.

My body picked for me. Once I got to a certain weight I just stopped losing.

My body picked for me. Once I got to a certain weight I just stopped losing.

I was allowed mashed potatoes from the start. I keep my carbs under 159 grams my Protein at least 60 grams and my calories under 1,300. I’ve mostly kept off 100 pounds. I do stray sometimes and then I gain weight. As soon as I pay attention to what I’m eating I lose again.’other wise I try to eat slot of veggies, some of my starch as fruit and not be too strict with myself because then I want to binge.

I’m five years out and felt regret about three weeks in. I hadn’t lost a lot of weight , I had no energy etc. for me it was because my blood pressure was really low and one I was off BP meds it went up and I started feeling better and exercising and everything came together.
Give it a chance you are making the right choices it should get better.

Anything underwire. I went from a forty eight DD to a forty-forty two D,DD

I became an empty nester in July when my twenty year old son with Autism moved in with caregivers. Natural growth for him and a chance to catch a breath for me.

I have been having a hard time cook Gand eating for one. Plus I increased my hours at work . At first I was eating a lot of tv. Dinners, Cereal or ice cream.
I’ve finally started cooking big meals on the week and then freezing it for the week and this seems to work better.
Are there other empty nesters and what and how do you eat.?

That’s five years out.

I was fifty two almost fifty three when I had my sleeve. I am now fours years out. I lost 100 pounds and have kept it off. I walk five days a week at least in the summer and try to walk or dance or just move in the winter. I usually do al least three days a week in winter. I am starting to have some health issue. I have arthritis in my hips and have the very beginning of heart disease,mild changes , but I don’t have to treat it yet. I also have some bone thing. These are all wait and watch things and they don’t affect me,other than the arthritis, which causes constant discomfort that I ignore.

I’ve been in maintenance for four years and it just kind of happened. All of a sudden at about fifteen months out I just stopped losing. I maintain on 1,000-1,300 calories a day.

I think this is normal to all of us. chicken and pork used to bother me . If I ate two fast I would get the foamies and throw up.and now five years out I still need to chew pork or chicken really well or it will upset my stomach.

I’m five years out and had a rough winter weight wise. I have arthritis in both hips and step aerobics bothered them. I wasn’t able to walk much because of the weather, so I went from exercising 5 times a week to maybe one or two. As a result I gained between eight and ten pounds. Which isn’t’t much I know, but for me was frustrating especially because I hover between overweight and obese according to the charts , even with a hundred pound loss.
I started paying attention to my eating and no that it’s summer. I am walking at least two miles a day and a down nine pounds and feeling happy again.

I started losing hair at about five months out, by seven or eight months it started to grow back. Five years out you can’t tell.
