I am currently 7 months post op and have lost 98-99lbs. I haven't had a stall yet until now. I still want to lose 20-22lbs. Will I lose the rest of my weight or have I lost as much as I am going to lose? Thank you in advance for advice.

I'm 7 moths post op too, but my doctor made it very clear that as we near our normal BMI, the weight loss will slow down significantly. I tend to stall out when I cut back on my water intake. Keep those fluids going. Are you exercising? Getting your protein? Have started to increase your calories? At one of my stalls my doc suggested upping my calories. It worked. I started losing again. I eat about 1000-1200 calories a day. 1200 on work out days. You've done absolute fabulous this far. Congrats on so much success in such a short amount if time. You'll get there. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing.

It would seem that if u exercise and eat bariatric approved foods..there is no reason u should not reach your goal weight. It may take more time ...but persevere..I u will prevail.

I'm 3 months out and I've already had two. One at about a month that lasted 2 weeks and one i am going threw now. It's been about 2 weeks also. I know I'm getting small but it's annoying when the scale doesn't follow lol.

Thank you everyone...I am around 800-900 calories per day. I just recently started exercising right after surgery my back went out. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary or outside my limitations. I went to the doctor and he told me that when you lose weight rapidly that your back tries to adjust to the new weight because your back adjusted to carry the extra weight now it haf to adjust back to normal. That was in August...back started feeling better in November then in December I was in a really bad car accident which threw my back out again. I am now getting to the place were it feels better so started walking and exercising.
