I am 4.5 out from surgery. Weight loss is so unpredictable. 3 lbs one week and 1 lb another week. Don't get me wrong. I'm thankful for every ounce that I loose. But wondering if/when the weight loss slowed down for you.

Three and a half years out. I stayed 140 for about a year. Then all the sudden I started losing again. I'm now at 121. I suppose I'm still on that journey. Though I have my calorie intake some. I think I'm thin enough for 5'6".

I stopped losing after two years. Stayed same for a year. Started losing again.

The more I move.......the more I lose.

Had some issues these past two months that I've killed my cardio.

Looking forward to resuming.

yes it does slow eventually...i had the dreaded week 3 stall and then lost nicely until about month 9. at that point i really started slipping with my exercise and eating. i managed to hold my weight loss steady until about 20 months out and then have slowly gained about 20 lbs in the past 4-5 months.

looking back though, it was ALL my choices that resulted in the gain. keep moving, keep focused on your eating and attend a support group for the long haul and you'll do great

At 6 months I am noticing atm that my last stall was 3 weeks long, and today I finally lost 1 Ib. Definitely not as much as I was losing in the past. However, this may change. Time will show ......

I'm 11 months post and have been stalled for a month. Like others, I'm sure it will start up again, I started at 380 and I'm at 255 for a 6 ft frame.. I'm looking to lose that last 50, then I can get my hernia and tummy tuck.

Might I ask how you "killed your cardio" and why that has impacted your loss?

At about 1 year I stopped losing but I lost 161 lbs and was 20lbs under my goal. I have maintained within 3 lbs for another year. I pray it continues well into the future.

It would seem that my posts are riddled with typos.

I intended for that to say, "Had some issues these past two months that have killed my cardio."

I've not done any formal cardio work and it shows. I know that the conventional wisdom is that exercise doesn't really factor into weight loss......but it does for me in many ways.

Things are improving and moving forward at the moment, though.

I'm 7.5 months out and less than 10lbs from goal. I was averaging 8-10lbs a month up to about the 6 month mark when it slowed down. I lost 5lbs since my 6 month checkup, but I was also increased to around 900-1000 calories and 60 carbs a day at that appointment. I'm hoping slowing down like this to goal will help me figure out maintenance.

Sounds like we had surgery within a week of each other--and I'm having the very same stalls and starts! I too have had the 3 pound weeks and 1pound weeks. I weigh every day and have a fancy Withings scale so I can go online and see a graph--it looks remarkably consistent like that. What can I say -- I'm a data nerd!

Seriously my appetite is up and I'm trying to go back to basics to see if things pick up a bit.

Dub,

Interesting to hear you say that cardio isn't supposed to affect weight loss. I have read/heard and experienced the same thing prior to wls. I've heard "Weight loss is 80-90% diet and 10-20% workout". This seemed to be at least partly true, b/c it didn't seem to matter how hard I worked out, none of the weight came off. But I think it does affect me now as well. Training for a 5K in January, so hopefully the training will help at least a little. There is such a fine line between working out and hurting yourself b/c our joints are not made to handle the extra weight. But we persevere and we will succeed!

Silverthreads,

Love that I'm not the only one who weights every day (and maybe night :-|). I also keep graphs and measurements. But I do it manually on a spreadsheet. May look into a fancy Withings scale. Thanks!

Hello all! New to the forum. Sleeved 4 weeks ago almost five! Have terrible trouble getting my fluids and Protein in. Seemed easier 3 weeks ago! Lol help... So frustrated!

Have started 2nd stage ... Ate puréed pinto Beans today and they just laid my stomach like a rock!! Yuck!

Have lost 30lbs since surgery! This happens when you can't eat or drink much. I feel soooo very full when I even drink Water.

Thanks for any help!

Stalls off and on for three years. Start living and ditch the scale! Eat healthy!

I completely stopped losing at 7 months, but I had reached goal so I was happy. It started slowing down after the 4th month, enough so that I noticed anyway. But I'm older, 55, so that might have had something to do with, having a slower metabolism.

The best piece of advice I've ever gotten, and took to heart and practice, is to lose as much weight as a pre op as you can, and take advantage of that golden period of rapid weight loss. Change your eating habits and establish an exercise regimen. The quicker you do it and stay the course, the better off you'll be.
