I was 213 when I had my surgery. I am now 183 and I am struggling to get out the 180's. My goal weight is 125. Others who have had the surgery have lost their weight fast and I am struggling. I don't know if its because the meds I take cause weight gain, if I am not working out enough, or I stressing. I would love to meet others who have been through the same thing I am going through and know what they did to fix the problem. I will say I struggle to get enough Water in. I also don't go to the gym consistently but that will change because my son is going to start going with me to his 24 hour gym. I am on myfitness pal under mirandaperry2005. I am also on twitter under the name miranda perry. I am praying I can start to get this last 50 pounds off.

I felt same way.. kept thinking I was stalling then realized it was still coming off just seemed slow. I am happy it was slow now I feel like it gave my skin a chance to bounce back and a better redistribution of fat over all

You won't gain weight from lifting weights if you do it right. People who gain weight from lifting are generally lifting heavy weight with low repetition which builds their muscle mass. They generally also take supplements to aid in the weight gain. That type of weight lifting (you know when they're grunting and screaming while they're struggling for one more rep) is anaerobic, they're not absorbing oxygen.

If you lift low weights with high repetition you will not only burn more weight than straight cardio, you will also get defined and lean "ripped" muscles. The reason weightlifting this way burns more fat than straight cardio is that using your muscles requires your body to burn more fat than just exerting yourself. I recommend finding a circuit of exercises that work your major muscle groups, and pick a weight that you can do 12-15 reps of with some discomfort, 3 sets each. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing the facts about how and why the wls journey can be slower with a BMI of 36 can be a much slower weight loss. I am 3 months out and my Weight loss has been slow as of today, I am down 26lbs. Going to add weight lifting and hope that helps to continue the process and help move the scale down .

Hi! We're almost the same with this..I had my surgery July 22nd and was around 226 when I started. I'm at 180 now and I'm struggling to break out of it. The holidays didn't help, of course!

I was told I'd lose slower, but one thing I've noticed is the inches are still coming off even if the weight does not. I measure myself once a month and record it (I use Spark People) and I've been AMAZED at the changes. I do lift weights but I do small amounts (5lbs for now) and lots of reps. I try to do the elliptical but I have a hate/hate relationship with it. I get a lot of yoga and dancing in though.

Keep at it!! You'll get there but it's going to take time and work. That's ok because anything that comes easy, goes easy (at least for me it does!)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
