How To Lose The Last 10 Lbs.....



Recommended Posts

I am 6 months postop. I started at 236 lbs on May 1st, and today I weigh 146, and even though I am thankful and happy, I am starting to feel frustrated!!!!! my scale has NOT moved for about 1.5 months. I know stalls are normal, but I wonder if it will continue moving down! I still want to lose 10-15 more pounds! The last ones are probably the hardest, how did you guys get to your goal? My motivation is close to zero now, because my scale doesn't move.

I would like to see some responses from experienced sleevers on this question as well!

I am 7 mos post-op and have 13lbs to go. I am experiencing the exact same thing. I'll lose a few ounces and gain them back and lose a few more and gain it back. When I hit my weekly day to weigh in I've lost like 2-3 ounces which is better than nothing, but at this rate it is going to take me another 39 weeks to lose 13 lbs. I'm running a lot, still eating healthy and following all of the rules. I think this is just standard practice for the body on the last 15. Ugh!!! Good luck!!!

I am over two years out and have been in a stall for over a year... I too need to get rid of. at least, another 14lbs, 28 ideally, so I will be watching this thread to see of there are any ideas that I haven't already tried!

On the up side, I haven't gained in that time, so I am not worried about maintenance - in fact, I feel like my body has decided that this is it for me. For now anyway!

I was sleeved on 03/01/12 so I am about 8 months out. At 5 months I had lost around 95 pounds and then I stalled out. The past month I have been trying to get the last 18 off. When I started I had not lost anything in about 6-8 weeks. I started by eating only grilled chicken lightly marinated and drinking Water for a day then the next day going back to what I would normally eat... Then repeat. It hasn't been super fast but I have lost 6 pounds this month. :) I have 11 to get to goal. I can't swear it will work but it seems to be working for me. Good Luck! :)

Hello!! Is grrilled chicken all you eat ? Like only one meal? Or do you eat that throughout the day? I want to have plastic surgery to remove my abdominal excess skin, so I am willing to try anything to get to goal before the surgery. :)

I eat it 3 meals a day... More if I need a snack... Typically 2-3 oz 3-4 times a day... Only drink Water or unsweet tea

I am 10 months out and have 20 more pounds to go - see myself slipping a bit (had a couple of small halloween candies) - my plan is to sign up for weight watchers in January to try their plan again - my concern is that it is too much food for me - any thoughts?

Crystal, that sounds like a plan!! :) I will start tomorrow! I wonder if going back to 3 shakes a day like the two weeks postop could also have the same effect.

I just posted on this very topic. I've got 20 more to lose and I lose and gain the same two pounds. It's excruciatingly slow. I have been getting sloppy in my eating though and acting like I am more on maintenance.

Now I know that maintenance will be pretty easy on me, but I need to clamp down and stop with the treats I have been letting myself have. We just had a party and my house is stuffed with enchiladas, au gratin potatoes, lasagna, Pasta salad, chips, cheesecake and other temptations. I have been doing well, but well for someone on maintenance.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
