Not really frustrated, I just wanted to post something today. In a couple days I will hit my 9 month post op date. I am very happy where I am but am wondering if I will ever reach my goal of 165lbs. My weight loss is very slow now and not very steady, I was at the 194 lbs mark for almost 4 months before I started losing again (I am now at 184 lbs). I am running 3 1/2 miles twice a week, I haven't had a carbonated beverage in 15 months, I still mostly eat Protein and stay away from breads, Pasta and potatoes. I am doing 45 sit-ups a day and 20 pushups. I have what I consider a lot of excess skin but no where near as much as most people who have lost 80 lbs. I know I my skin weighs a little bit so I am wondering if it is even possible to get to 165 lbs.
I am going to keep at it and even if I never reach my goal of 165 lbs I am very happy where I am today.

Why would you give up your medicine and B12? I’m assuming the medicine is Vitamins? Surely, I would hope you wouldn’t stop a prescription medication from the doctor, just because you aren’t loosing. This doesn’t make any since. Do you want to suffer malnutrition? This won’t make you thinner. Also, vitamins won’t make you gain. You haven’t provided sufficient info for us to help you. Example of diet, logged by tracking app, exercise, Water log, exercise routine. Age, surgery, past medical history (i.e. endocrine disorders, PCOS, ect.)
If you want help, put the effort in to get it. And stop posting multiple threads looking for attention or different answers.

I have this exact same problem. Now it’s just nausea vs, nausea and pain. I still can’t drink straight Water almost 5 mons post op. Has she tried adding something to it, like flavored water additives, caffeine free tea, fruit infused? Also, try different temperatures. I sipped on Bone Broth a lot in the first few weeks.

Reach out to your insurance company for a list of surgeons in your area, then hit the web and check out their reviews.

Bad Constipation and plateaued. I am now 9 weeks post op and still doing the same thing. Water intake is still the same. I work out also but I feel the fact that im constipated will not help me lose anymore. I have no idea where to go from here. Any advice will help. T.I.A.

oh ur so welcome,this is an entire lifestyle change & we all have to trade info & ideas & find what works for us best.i struggle w the thought of never eating or drinking anything bad vs.eating terrible & i know i personally want to eventually find a balance of eating healthy most of the time but being able to enjoy some treats or small meals on holidays,birthdays,or special occasions.i cant imagine never making my mom’s german potato salad ever again & never eating a piece of cake on my bday.i guess u have to make better versions of them or eat in moderation or give them up altogether if it leads u dwn the wrong path.this is all a journey.i do know that my main priority is nutrients & Water first & to not stretch my sleeve out when i get it by eating bigger & bigger meals.also incorporating realistic & sustainable exercise.
