How Far From Goal Where You Before Weight Loss Slowed Down By A Lot?



Recommended Posts

My goal is to be between 120-150 lbs. I am 5'6, 282 now (about 12 pounds less since I started researching WLS.) I was lighter a few years ago, and a work out junky, and started to plateau around 198. I am sure it will be different afterwards, and I am sure it varies per person, but at what weight did the weight stop coming off fast? For me I'd guess around 160.

Kiki I really don't know what goal i Will have I guess I'll just have to wait and see what I look like in different stages (I though maybe around 145-150 I'm 5'4) I used to weigh 128 but I look sickly so I'll just wait and see

I'm 14 months post-op and my weight loss went like this:

January-17 lbs

February-8 lbs

March-9 lbs

April-8.5 lbs

May-4 lbs (still don't know what happened--same calories and activity as April)

June-9 lbs

July-6 lbs

August-8 lbs

September-3.5 lbs (started to add carbs)

October-6.5

November-5 lbs

Dec and January--I had reached my goal of 150 on Nov 15 and was attempting to maintain. Had gallbladder surgery Nov 30 and facelift Jan 4. Lost 12 more pounds over the two months, now maintaining at 138.

Hope this helps!

That's cool. When is your surgery? Or when did you have your surgery?

I leave tomorrow for Tijuana and will have my surgery Monday

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
