When did you weight loss stop? How long out?



Recommended Posts

I am currently 11 months out from surgery. I had RNY at 211 pounds and had great loss for 8 months. In total the last 3 months I have lost only 6 (less than 2 pounds per month). My diet is still very good, however today I am up 3 pounds from my lowest. Have I got bottom only 11 months out? I still have 16 pounds to lose to reach goal.

How many months out from surgery did you reach bottom?

My surgery was august 29th and my weight loss came to a still for almost 2 months. When i talked to my WLS DR he had me up my Protein, and lots of Water. This month the weight just started dropping again. Hope that helps, as far as when you will plateau its different for everyone. It could be 12-16 months after surgery.

This is only from my personal experience. (not a medical professional)

It's normal to see weight loss slow down as you get closer to goal and years out from surgery. You have less body fat to burn. But you can continue to lose weight.

You can continue your plan. the weight loss may start up again.

Logging your food? How many calories, Protein and carbs are you getting in for weight loss mode?

Exercise. Never do the same thing over and over. chane the types of exercise, Increase the intensity or amount of time.

My weight loss slowed down about 10 pounds to my goal. It was painfully slow getting the last pounds off. This is what maintaining looks like for me four years out. I have a ten pound weight bounce range. When the scale moves up. I dial in my diet and put more time in at the gym.

      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!!
