Is my body done and happy?



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done on May 2nd. Starting weight was 214.4. I have been bouncing between 149-152 for the past month and a half. Can't lose anymore! I'm trying hard! Is my body happy where it is? I am very please with my weight loss. My goal is 140

The bigger question is are you happy? You can keep losing and you will if you stick with the program.

Congratulations, sounds like you have done amazing!

I do think that our bodies get plateaus where they feel "happy", but you will push past that eventually if you keep trying as hard as you are. But do you need or want to? I think it's probably best to go with what your BMI is and what your surgeon says, and of course what you think looks and feels good. If you are a healthy BMI and your surgeon is happy, then I don't see why you would need to keep going unless you really want to.

I had my surgery a month after you, weighed a pound more, and I'm stuck at 180 so you're doing awesome. Keep doing what you're doing and your body will eventually lose the weight. Maybe you need in up your Water? I know that's been working for me and kicked me out of my stall.

Good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
