Is my weight leveling off??



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks shy of my 1 year anniversary. I have dropped a lot of weight at the beginning and started to really worry. However, I haven't lost a single pound for the last 3 months. Does this mean that my weight is stabilizing now? I keep hearing that people keep losing for almost 18 months. I'm happy where I've reached though it really scared me at some point and will be even happier to gain few kg's.. when did your weight started to stabilize and when did you gain back some weight if you ever did?

P.s I've had MGB and not RNY.

I'd say it would depend on where you feel is good for you. If you're like me and have never been of a normal bmi for your age or height then it can be scary, weird and confusing to know when its enough. Especially if you've never maintained weight-loss for any amount of time (me). I wish i could help you. Im still in the losing phase and a little rattled about the next 50 or so lbs. I guess you just gotta fiddle around and see what works for you. But if you continue eating like you did in the losing phase that may be why you're still losing? If you want to gain or maintain, more calories may be in order. And if you are working out strenuously maybe try to level it out to a few times a week and see if that helps? I'm no good that keeping weight off so i hope i made some sense. It's late lol.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
