About 1 1/2 Years Out! Will I Stop Losing?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Well I was sleeved on 10/29/2010 and it was the best thing I ever done. At my heaviest I was about 424 at my lowest after sleeve, I was 270. I heard that after 2 years, you stop losing weight...is that true? I am afraid that I will and come short of my goal of being under 200 pounds. I know under 200 is a large goal considering in 5'11". And I have a large frame, but if anyone has any info on this please let me know. Good luck everyone!

No, you can continue to lose weight after 2 years. If you exercise and watch your calorie intake the weight continues to come off. What happens is if you aren't careful you will began to eat more and start to gain it back because your stomach is completely healed and you get to where you can eat anything you want. It becomes a case of disipline on your part. Head hunger still plays a great part in your struggle to lose and keep the weight off. I am nearly 2 years out and am beginning to have to use self control more than I have in the past. Remember this sugery is a tool, we choose to use it correctly.

losingnva,

Congratulations on an amazing journey to date... I agree with the other poster...

I can't see why you will stop losing after two years, for me there is no expiry date to the sleeve - I am not at goal at 21mts+ and I refuse to give up trying.

Yes it will take more discipline and exercise, as our bodies get used to what we are doing ... I am very mindful of what, when and how I eat but that doesn't make me perfect.

Good luck to you as you continue to move forward... and downward!

Thanks guys for all of the info. I completely understand about the self control because it is just sooo easy to just eat everything (which is the main reason y I chose vsg instead of bypass. I didnt want the great restriction and I wanted more control) I have to train myself to choose salad or Soup instead of french fries and Water with lemon instead of soda (especially when I go out). But thanks for the encouraging words and good luck and keep up the losing!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
