Hi!!! I'm 3 months post op. I was just wondering when do we actually stop losing weight. I've had so many stalls it drives me crazy sometimes!!!! I try not to get on here so much because sometimes it discourages me cuz there are some that r losing the weight so fast and I've only lost 45 pds in 3 months and I follow the plan. I just want to know if I'm done losing weight or do I still have more to go :/.

My surgeon told me that your body will stop losing weight when it's at a comfortable weight. I am 5 months out and down 58lbs post op. I have hit lots of stalls!!! Don't worry just push through them

Yes I'm still losing more and more everyday

Check out the veteran's forum. Many folks there are still losing a year or two out. We stop losing when we stop using our sleeve as designed by not limiting portions, moving more, and making good food choices.

I sure will check it out. Thanks

I'm 6 months out and I've lost 83 lbs. I started at 310 and now I'm at 223. I expect to loose 100lbs but after that I'm not sure. My 6 month checkup is in a week so I will sure be taking to the doc about it.

Hi!!! I'm 3 months post op. I was just wondering when do we actually stop losing weight.

There is no expiration date on our surgery. You will continue to lose weight for as long as you consume less calories than you burn. If that were not true, there would be no such thing as anorexia.

I am going on two years from the date of my surgery and will still lose more weight if I eat too few calories during any given week.

Forty-five pounds in three months is a very impressive weight loss. Just make sure you are eating enough calories: trying to starve the weight off doesn’t work over the long haul because you will cripple your metabolism.

The best way to end a weight loss plateau is to eat just at or slightly above your daily calorie burn for a day or two and then follow that with a few days of a 1200 to 1500 calorie intake. Dr. Mehmet Oz in his book “You: On a Diet” also recommends using a 7mg/24hr nicotine patch to temporarily boost one’s metabolism. I used that “trick” when I hit a plateau several months ago and it worked. Also, drink plenty of green tea. Green tea does help burn fat.

If you are not on a tight budget, I would also strongly recommend purchasing and using a body monitor such as BodyMedia Fit (the same device used on The Biggest Loser) or the Up wristband by Jawbone (Jawbone now owns BodyMedia). Both devices are excellent and will give you a very accurate picture of how many calories you are burning over a 24-hour period. Once I started using the BodyMedia Fit armband, I had a lot more control over my weight loss because I eliminated all the guesswork. Of course, I am also a fanatic about entering everything I eat and drink (that contains calories) on MyFitnessPal.com. I am not nearly as strict about the types of foods I eat (pizza and other comfort foods), just as long as I stay within my calorie budget for the day.

According to every authoritative source that I’ve read, you should not eat less than 1200 calories per day for any extended period of time unless doing so is specifically recommended by your physician or dietician and you are under medical supervision.

Best of luck to you.

That's awesome!!! How long do u exercise for?

I exercise 4 days per week for about 50 - 60 minutes. 2 days I do a zumba or dance aerobic class, 1 day treadmill for 60 minutes and 30 minutes of weights and 1 day 60 minute weights class. So basically 3 days cardio, 2 days weights (one day I do both cardio and weights)
