How long did you lose weight for?

I've heard the 1st yr is that magic time to lose the weight, but are there people that has lost more weight after the yr mark?

I guess my biggest concern is I am getting close to my surgerversery and I still a little more than I want to be. I am about 15 lbs from my Drs goal weight but I am about 35lbs from my dream weight. I had a lot of stressors come around these past couple months so my weight loss has stalled since I fell off the wagon. I am trying to make better choices each and every day now but I want to know there is still hope lol.

    Weight loss doesn't magically switch off right at the 12 month mark. I reached my goal right near a year, but if I chose to keep losing weight, I would have. As it is, I ended up about 6-7 pounds belo

    Yeah, I think the real issue isn't some magical expiration date on restriction or metabolism. It's that around 9-12 months post-op, you lose focus. Real life is happening. You get more easily distract

    I'm 2.5 years out and still at my goal weight which is 150 pounds from my highest weight. Yes, it gets harder after the first year but I find the restriction to be a huge tool ongoing. I continue to

Hello Everyone,

It's been a while since I have been on here. It will be 2.5 years in June. I was steadily loosing until November 2015. And the holiday pounds crept up on me and I gained 10lbs. It might as well be 50lbs. I am determined to NOT gain any more weight, but boy it's hard to get it off. I have started running and working out again, but it SUCKS. I look in the mirror and see those pounds trying to creep back up. I refuse to get back where I was. REFUSE! Now when I feel like I'm lazy I look in the mirror (and sad as it sounds) I am disgusted that I let myself gain it. The good thing is I now know what my major weight gainers are.....CARBS....those EVIL carbs. That I cut out 100%. They came knocking at my door all nice and sweet. Well, they just got the door slammed in their face! It's not happening. I used to like looking in the mirror, but those 10lbs have GOT TO GO!!!!! Good luck to everyone!
