    Hi !!

    so its been a while !! my story is like this - i had gastric sleeve surgery in dec 2017 and i lost about 30kg in the first year . since then i have stalled but haven't gained which i guess is good . I do have an additional 12kg to lose and and i don't know how to go about it - ive tried everything . About a year ago i started having abdominal pain sometimes which recently got much worse so i went to check it out and was diagnosed with gallstones . I'm having my gallbladder removed in two days and obviously i've been googling how this effects your weight , some people say it causes weight loss but many also claim it causes weight gain and i'm really freaking out because i cannot put back on any weight i've just worked too hard .

    Any advice ???

    Hi all !!

    Im 18 months post op !!

    My highest weight was 218 lb . In the first 9 months i got to 168lb and since then I've been in a stall . 5 weeks ago i decided to make a drastic change in which i excercize 6 hrs a week and dropped my carb intake to fruit only .

    This change has been really effective. This morning i weighed in at 159lb

    Im really happy and proud of myself , however i am worried that as soon as i dial it down ( when i get to my goal weight - 142lb ) im going to gain everything back .

    I dont want to stop but i also don't think i can continue this long term

    What should i do ??

    Thanx

    Hello,
    In my humble experience, raw BMI is a good ballpark, but not the be all end all of measurements. Before undergoing surgery myself, I've talked with several people who went through the same ordeal, and felt like they were stalling despite following all orders to a T. Thing is, one of those guys looked buff as hell.
    All body types are different, and some endomorphs lose fat by building muscle. Sure, his BMI said almost obese, but his body fat % was in the low end of normal. He didn't see that, because some people are so focused on weight alone that they develop a dysmorphic syndrome.
    Not saying that's your case, but maybe that's an avenue you should consider and examine. In any case, everything has a solution, and you're still in the "honeymoon" phase of weight loss, so there's much room for improvement if you happened to veer a bit off course.
    Believe me, just considering the fact that you may be a "failure" at this stage, tells me that you are miles away from being one. Key word: Self awareness. Stand tall, trooper.
    Cheers!

    Thanx so much
    You've really given me some perspective [emoji4]

    I've been feeling like such a failure recently. I'm five months post op and have only lost 37 pounds.

    Sometimes i feel like why did i do this ? Pre op i really felt on such a high that I'm finally gonna get everything I've been waiting for my whole life and now i just feel let down and disappointed.

    I'm eating and exercising really well so i dont know what im doing wrong ?????
