Down 140 lbs, can't seem to lose last 15lbs!



Recommended Posts

Congrats! You look great! Any advice on how to be successful post op? I have surgery in 2 weeks and I so concerned with not losing all that I need to lose. You show me that it is possible. What things do you wish you knew before?

not directed to me, but good luck! follow your plan, and you should be successful. i wish i knew from the beginning that stalls are normal...you will have periods of losing then not, maybe even gaining a little. don't let that discourage you! check how your clothes feel, take pictures, hide the scale if it proves to be a burden and just weigh yourself once a week or so. i hop on the scale daily purely out of habit, but since i know my body's rhythm, it doesn't freak me out to see a stall.

I can totally relate. Have been at the same weight for over a month now. I keep asking myself if maybe this is the weight I am meant to be. If so then something miraculous has happened. I am maintaining my weight. Something I have NEVER been able to do in the past. Looking at this as a huge milestone. I am trying to pay close attention to what I am doing so that I can really learn what maintenance looks like. Keeping 120 pounds off is more important to me right now than losing 10 more.

Great job, you have come so far! I am in the same boat, just 4 pounds from my goal and I have been messing around with that 4 pounds since Thanksgiving. I am completely happy with where I am at, but I am also super competitive and when I set a goal, I will meet it if it kills me :-)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
