My sleeve surgery was done Oct 2014 and I am now roughly 15 months post-op. My starting weight the day of surgery was 272 and as of today I am 117.6. I am 5 feet 4 inches tall. My original goal weight was 145lbs...after 15 months I still have not hit a plateau with my weight loss and I am starting to get concerned. I have consulted with the PA at my surgeons office several times since November and have had multiple blood tests ran and everything is coming back normal. I feel wonderful and have energy to burn but that doesn't change the fact that I physically cant stop losing weight. I was running 5 days a week and have cut the running out completely and am only exercising 3 days a week now. I am also eating 6 small meals a day, up to 1400 calories with roughly 90 grams of protein and between 100-150 grams of carbs and its making no difference. If anyone has had this problem or anything similar I would love to hear from you. I am hoping and praying this will sort itself out soon because no one, not even my doctor, seems to have an answer.

I am only 6 months out from my surgery and I am worried I won't lose anymore! I lost 96 lb so far... I am 180 right now.... & I have not worked out in a few weeks .... Been different schedule with work and my diet is spot on but I definitely don't see 5he scale drop like it used to .... Not as fast. Yes.... I do hope this is a problem for me one day. Because being scared I will lose only enough to 180lbs or 6months out from surgery and then stop losing scares me.

How much are you losing a week? Are you tracking your calories?

Wish I could just lose!!!!

Sounds familiar, although I can admit I don't work out like I should. I've thought about my weight too wondering when my set point will hit. I'm one year out, started at 248 and last Saturday I was 121 and I am 5'5. I don't know where my calories should be to maintain.

What surgery did you have?

About a pound sometimes 2 .... Just feels like forever

Checked this morning & I am down another pound

You are losing at the same rate I did.

Really? OK thank you. That makes me feel better ????????

It took me a year to get from 240 to 118. After the first 4-5 months I only lost about 2 pounds per week. After about 7 months only 1 pound a week. At some point I stopped thinking about it that much and it just kept coming off. It's amazing how 1 steady pound adds up.

lauraellen80 she probably picked 115lbs at 5'2" because if you get any smaller you won't be able to buy any clothes that fit. I say that because that's where I am at. I wear a 0P.

I do workout/run because I like the health benefits. I do have carbs now and I don't consider that a cheat. Cookies, ice cream, cake, waffles etc are cheat days in my book and usually just on the weekends. It is hard to find the happy medium as we all have worked so hard to get here that gaining it back is a big fear.
