Hi @logicwand

So I am only 9 months out, so I can only comment on stabilising as it relates to ‘stop losing post-surgery’. I pretty much levelled out at 6 months. I really worked my programme, my starting weight and height are within cooee of yours.

So before the 6 months was up I was below my goal weight and have held pretty steady for the last three months.

I see your timeline - how is your weight loss going now,

I'm thinking I've hit my "new normal" weight 7 months after surgery. I've been hovering around 149 for a month now. It's the first time since surgery I haven't lost and actually saw myself gain a pound. I was 149 three weeks ago and then I was 150, now I'm 149 again. I think a goal weight of 130 is probably unrealistic. 20 pounds seems like a lot to go now. Haha. Maybe I should consider 140 and just continue watching what I eat, making sure I get enough Water and sleep, and continue to exercise. Ughh. I was hoping the weight loss results wouldn't stop 6 months out but I know I didn't have as much to lose.

I was thinking the same thing and was kinda bummed. I thought I was done losing. I had stayed at the same weight for over a month and a half. But then I jumped on the scale today and had last 5lbs. I just feel like I am losing at a much slower speed now.

oOOO! I hope that's what happens to me! Haha. That's so terrific. It's great to know that your body is still wanting to shed those pounds and you're not done yet. :D

Exactly! That's what I'm wondering. I think doctors consider your weight as stabilized if you stay around the same weight for at least 6 months.

I finally broke through 250 after a three week stall. I started doing Keto and going to the gym 3 times a week.

My workout:
20 minute Cardio (I try to do at least a mile)
Dynamic Stretches (bear crawls, frog jumps, inch worm)
Strength training (squats, lunges and all arm exercises are weighted.)
Another 20 minutes are cardio (my second mile)
Stretch and go home

My workout is never the same. Maybe download the Nike fit app great workouts for all levels on there.

Can you post a typical food day, how much Water you're drinking, how much Protein you're getting, and how much exercise you get?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
