I'm almost 9 months post op! I can't believe it. I feel great. I'm exercising, BUT...the scale does not seem to be moving anymore. I've been at 245 (down from 323 on surgery day) for almost 2 months.

Anyone else at this point in the journey and having similar issues? I blog/vlog about my journey and how it's changed my life. You can check it our at the link!

I am over 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. At around 6 or 7 months, my weight loss stopped and I gently slipped into the Maintenance phase. This article describes my observations in the Maintenance Phase. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

I'm 9 months as well, and my weightloss is reaching a slowing point. It's not done, but the days of the 4lb overnight drop are long gone and I can go weeks without losing a lb and then lose 5 and then not lose for awhile. It's all part of the process as we get closer to goal. Just make sure you are still following your guidelines and keep from sabotaging yourself with little things you wouldn't allow in the beginning.

I am 2 months and 2 weeks. I was 288 before liquid diet and I am now 220. I was stuck in 230 a month after surgery. It was the worst. Then, I dropped to 225. Which I was for 3 weeks. I am now at 220

Keep working hard

I'm almost at 9 months and see a definate slowdown. I went from 10+ lbs/month to 7 and now to 4 lbs last month. Thank you to whoever posted the link to the maintenance phase.

Good news-hairloss is slowing down too.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
