You will. It all happened in the first 6 months. I'm at 8 1/2 months and can't seem to lose any more. Which is fine...if I am maintain here I will be very happy. But I'd like to lose a few more to have a good range (135-140). It's MUCH harder now.

Because we are at a lower starting weight we tend to lose slower. I take in all my Water and more- but my main tip is staying away from bread, crackers, Pasta, etc. until you meet your goal weight. It hasn't been easy, but I feel I would be heavier right now if I was eating those things. I get in at least 75 grams of Protein and between 800 to 1000 calories.

Do you also work out a lot? Is it possible to meet goal weight without hating my life at the gym?

Honestly, I have three kiddos ages 2,3, and 4 that keep me on my feet all day. But as far as actual exercise- I run 15 minutes every other day on the treadmill. I used to do 30 minutes walking but over time can get the same distance and get my heart rate up when I do 15 on the treadmill at an incline. I don't go to the gym. Not in the budget I am still losing very steadily.

It's really inspiring to hear of the success other low BMI sleevers! I am 5'6", 217 lbs with a BMI of 35. My goal is to get down to 145, even if it takes more time. I'm working on getting in better shape for the surgery and beyond with beginning workouts on a recumbent bike and elliptical trainer (just started this weekend). It's going to get hot here in Vegas soon so having this equipment at the house will be my "no excuses" method to get exercise while keeping hydrated. Uh...that and going up and down the stairs in my 3-story house. My daughter even works out with me so I have a home-gym buddy. Bring on May 17th!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
