Anyone lost 1/2 the weight and then can't loose more?



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve 3 yrs ago and lost 25 lbs then my weight loss stopped. I've tracked my weight everyday since and seems no matter what I do I stay w/in 3 lbs. I've written everything I've eaten, counted calories, upped my treadmill time and cut my portion size. I get my Protein and Water in everyday. I eat healthy.

I'm wondering if age plays a part in it? I just turned 70 and am in great health. Since surgery my PB is normal as are all other tests. I just can't loose any more weight.

I've heard of set points with weight and wonder if mine has been cemented at this weight.

Any info or suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Sherry

This is disappointing. I had the sleeve on Oct 10, 2016. I lost a total of 40 lbs since I started, but only 36 lbs since surgery. I haven't lost any weight since Dec. 2016. I was hoping, this isn't it. I turned 70 in February. I feel good, working out twice a week with a trainer. But I envisioned myself losing so much more.

I too was told I wasn't eating enough, well that's busted. I get 800 to 1,000 Cal / day and lose nothing. I wear my FitBit and always show more out than in, but no weight loss.

Now, I in process of dropping back to a liquid diet to try and jump start my loss again. I dropped off the forum for a time because I was so disgusted. I have my 6th month check-up on 4/24.

I know 3 other woman our age, 2 got bypass and 1 the sleeve and have not gotten down to their goal weight. I don't know what the answer is that is why I posted on a couple forums about not loosing all the weight w/no answers.

I've noticed that a lot of people post before and right after they get the surgery then drop off the forum. I know I've been one of them and it was because it was mostly newbys.

I wish more people would of answered my question.

I'll message you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
