The post op section won't load and I can't wait to ask these questions so bear with me. :lol: And before I ask them, please note I absolutely WILL follow the post op rules. I have every other time, and I will this time for sure. So now let me ask the questions:

  • How difficult has it been for you to lose the weight during the first year or so?
  • How long did your honeymoon phase last for you?
  • I need to lose 80 Lbs to get to a 21 BMI. How long would you guess that might take? Don't worry I know you're not psychic. Just your best guess will work.

Thanks so much in advance lovely bariatric pals.

How difficult has it been for you to lose the weight during the first year or so? How long did your honeymoon phase last for you? I need to lose 80 Lbs to get to a 21 BMI.

I can't answer all your questions as I'm 11 weeks out.

1. It isn't difficult per se, but it takes commitment. It's not as though WLS does all the work -- but it does make the work more efficient. I follow all the rules as well as exercise.

2. I'm still in the honeymoon phase. I'm hoping I get a lot more time.

3. I've lost 73 lbs since December 17 -- my surgery was 12/31. I have more to lose, so it's faster than for someone with less. It has slowed way down now.

HTH!

I am 10 months out and have lost 110 lbs. the honeymoon stage can last up to 24 months. It depends on how fast you lose on how much you need to lose. Follow your plan and the weight will come off. I lost 40 lbs in the 6weeks I was off work. It will happen.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
